Cosmos staking FAQ

What is Cosmos staking?

Cosmos staking means delegating ATOM to a validator (without losing ownership) so it can be used to validate transactions on the chain. Through your contribution, you (the delegator) is paid a fixed profit in ATOM.
‍
You can earn a staking profit of 16.6% by pledging your ATOM via StakeShark and rewards are paid out automatically as soon as you stake your tokens.

ATOM staking also has auto restaking – which automatically stakes your rewards tokens when they reach 0.1 ATOM. You can disable auto restaking as well which allows you to withdraw your rewards manually whenever you’d like.

How long does it take to stake Cosmos?

Cosmos has a 21-day unbonding process during which you can’t earn rewards or move your tokens out of the stake.

How much Cosmos do you need to stake?

You need to stake at least 1 ATOM. This limit is imposed by the chain so you can cover the transaction fees during unstaking.

Is it safe to stake Cosmos?

Staking Cosmos with a reliable validator like StakeShark is safe – there is very little risk of loss of assets.
‍
When delegating your assets, it’s wise to account for the minimum lock-up period during which you won’t be able to sell. ATOM has a relatively long lock-up period of 21 days.
‍
Our advice is to only stake funds that you don’t plan to use actively for trading in the near future.

How much staking profit can I earn for staking Cosmos?

You can earn up to 16.6% APR for staking ATOM via StakeShark. Staking rewards can be claimed anytime after the unbonding period of 21 days.
