What Is ATOM Staking?

Therefore, staking ATOM allows token holders to participate in the operation and governance of the Cosmos network.

FAQ – ATOM Staking

How is the reward calculated?

The validator takes a portion of the total reward and the rest is distributed to the staker as an incentive in proportion to the delegated amount.

The reward depends on the network conditions, in particular, the fixed supply in the network, transaction fees, block times, and also on the performance of the validator’s earnings and other important factors.

Why does the unclaimed reward suddenly become “0”?

Status change (redelegate, request to unstake) will trigger an auto claim for any unclaimed reward, which will be sent to your address directly. Please check the history or wallet page for more details.

What are the penalties?

According to the operating protocol of Cosmos, if the validator is punished by the Cosmos network due to misbehaving, part of your locked ATOM asset will be taken as a penalty.
