Noncustodial delegation

One validator Two ways in

Delegating on your own takes a few minutes in the Atlas app, and your keys never leave your wallet. Moving a treasury sized position is a different job, so start with a conversation and we’ll walk the validator, the commission, and the unbonding rules with you first.

True on both paths

What stays yours

Delegating doesn’t hand your tokens to anyone. It tells the network which validator should work on your behalf, and that’s the whole transfer of power.

01

Your keys

Atlas never asks for a seed phrase or a private key, and never needs one.

02

Your signature

Every staking transaction is approved in your own wallet by you.

03

Your call

You choose the network, the validator, the amount and the timing.

04

Your custody

Your tokens stay tied to your wallet under the rules of the network.

BEFORE YOU CONNECT

PROTECT YOUR WALLET

Review the domain, transaction permissions, wallet prompts, and recovery practices that help you keep control before you delegate.

Individual delegators

Three steps and you’re staking

Nothing about the app is a lighter version of the service. It routes to the same validators, on the same hardware, at the same commission the largest delegations pay.

01

Connect your wallet

Open the Atlas app and connect the wallet that already holds your tokens. Nothing gets uploaded and no seed phrase is ever requested.

02

Read the validator

Choose a supported network, then check the Atlas validator details, the commission and the unbonding period before you commit anything.

03

Approve and you’re done

Sign in your own wallet. Your tokens stay where they are and your delegation starts backing the validator on the next cycle.

Ready now? The app walks you through the whole thing and you never leave your own wallet.

Large delegators

A position this size deserves a person

Tell us the network and the rough size. We’ll come back with what we can support, walk the validator with you, and stay reachable long after the delegation settles.

01

Start with the mechanics

We’ll go through the supported network, the Atlas validator, the commission, the unbonding period and the transaction path before anything moves.

02

Walk the transaction together

You keep the wallet and you sign. We can stay on the call while you do it so every field and every confirmation is clear.

03

Talk to the operators

Not a reseller and not a support tier. You’re speaking with the people running the machines we own in Amsterdam.

04

Keep the line open

Come back when network conditions, commission or validator details change and you want an operator to explain what’s actually happening.

Send the asset or network you’re considering and the approximate size of the delegation. An Atlas operator reads it and replies directly.

Large delegation inquiry

Tell us what you’re planning to delegate

Share the asset or network, the approximate size, and anything you want cleared up before you stake. A real Atlas operator reviews it and gets back to you, and you’ll keep custody the whole way through.

Your inquiry stays confidential You keep custody of your assets You talk with the people operating the validator
Delegating on your own? You don’t need this form at all. Open the staking app and you can be staking in a few minutes.

Atlas doesn’t provide financial, legal or tax advice. Rewards, token prices, validator performance and unbonding periods vary by network and aren’t guaranteed.

Institutional Inquiry
Delegator questions

Know what you’re signing

Does Atlas take custody of my tokens?

No. Delegation is noncustodial on every network Atlas supports. Your tokens stay in your wallet, you keep the keys, and you approve the staking transaction yourself. Delegating only tells the network which validator should work on your behalf.

Can anyone stake through the Atlas app?

Yes. The app is open to anyone with a supported wallet, there’s no account to create and no approval step. You’ll be delegating to the same validators, on the same hardware, at the same commission as the largest delegations we handle.

What actually changes on the large delegator path?

You get people instead of a queue. We’ll go through the validator, the commission, the unbonding period and the transaction with you before anything moves, and you can reach an operator directly afterwards. The staking itself stays noncustodial and the economics are the same.

Is there a minimum delegation?

There’s no minimum to use the app. We don’t publish a threshold for the direct path either, because token values and networks vary so much. If the size of your position makes a conversation useful, write to us and we’ll tell you straight away what we can support.

Can Atlas tell me which token to buy?

No. We can explain supported networks, validator details, commission, unbonding periods and the mechanics of staking. We don’t give financial, legal or tax advice, and anyone in this industry offering it to strangers should worry you.

Are staking rewards guaranteed?

No. Rewards, token prices, validator performance and unbonding periods vary by network and none of them are guaranteed. Proof of stake carries slashing risk by design on most networks, so read the current network terms before you delegate.

Can I unstake whenever I want?

You can start unbonding whenever you want, but each network sets its own unbonding period and some require you to claim the stake back manually once it clears. Check the rules for your network in the app before you plan around a date.

Pick your lane We’ll take it from there

Both paths run on the same validators and the same machines we own in Amsterdam. The only difference is how much of it you’d like us to walk with you.
