Can any brehs give me the rundown on ATOM staking? Thinking of buying 100 at this price.

download keplr app.

Keplr Wallet | First and Leading IBC Wallet

get your account setup. if you have a ledger even better. send coins to your ledger and connect that to keplr.

read this first before setting up an account.

https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us...ess-your-Ledger-Cosmos-ATOM-account?docs=true

so you got your coins on the ledger or keplr. then in the browser go to wallet.keplr.app so you won't have to use the extension and can see the full picture. pick the cosmos hub. you'll see all the other ones on there. it gives you staking and governance. click staking and gives a list of validators. I use cosmostation. recommended to use one thats not too high on the list for decentralization but i prefer being secure with them. they #15 tho so not near the top anyways. apr is 17% per the wallet extension but they get a cut which looks like 8.9% commission. there are a bunch of validators, some are decent, some don't know much about. mintscan.io is the site you can use to see your transactions like etherscan and has all the validators and info about them. like how they vote on proposals and whatnot. or how many coins they have staked. I would recommend leaving a small amount unstaked cuz it costs gas to claim rewards and move money. but not no eth type of gas. shyt be like a few pennies. it doesn't compound so gotta figure out a game plan for that. at 100 coins, the more frequent the better, but then again don't want to waste much on gas. tho you prolly won't even spend more than $5 a year on gas. all depends on how you grind, thru compound, dca, or both. I just put in to claim 2.76 coins and the average fee was .04, even less on the low setting so not a big fee.

…I should be able to buy the amount I want in the next 2-3 days…

I thought the debit card limit reset every 24 hours…the limit is for the damn week…when I took profit I should’ve left some money in USDC to avoid this smh…I got close to half of what I want…my initial funds will clear next week so I’m stuck waiting til next week regardless…the irony lol

*edit*

hmm I have some ETH I can convert to RSR…then I’ll just replenish my ETH bag next week

I might just be FOMOing but with RSR so low I want to fill my bags now

plus they’re 85% done (path to mainnet)—Mainnet Dashboard - Google Drive

I'm likely just going to use Trust Wallet. I remember you can stake from it but what turned me away was the wait period to unstake. What is it a week or so?

They still do airdrops for holding ATOM and do you get them for staking as well?

I gotta weigh my options. The APR is so low I think I'd rather hold it and sell once the price gets back around ATH. If the market goes down further and the price is around $8 I'll probably get some.

I think it's like 14 if not 21 days. There's an airdrop for a new gnot coin coming soon. Snapshot in like ten days. Check cosmosairdrops subreddit but they still got them from time to time. And for holding juno. Market just been down so not much good airdrops but I just compound them mostly.

Luna $8, that's gotta be the biggest drop ever seen from the top 10 in history. :mjlol:

yeah shyt is crazy. not to mention stressful with UST. Luna keeps dipping and I might just have to get back in. I got 1400 ready to go if it drops below UST hopefully. would be more but I had some UST and that dipped. :snoop:

need this UST to get back to peg so I can feel more at ease. :damn:
