AUTO COMPOUND STAKING REWARDS

Keep your tokens delegated to Atlas. REStake can automatically claim eligible rewards and delegate them back to the same validator, using a permission you review and approve in your own wallet.

“RESTAKING” CAN MEAN TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

This page is about automatically compounding ordinary staking rewards. The same word is also used for putting staked assets to work securing another protocol. Those are different products with different risks.

01 / On this page

REWARD AUTO COMPOUNDING

Your staking position earns rewards. A REStake operator can claim eligible rewards and delegate them back to your chosen validator. The resulting stake may earn future protocol rewards, subject to network rules and operator activity.

SECURING ANOTHER PROTOCOL

Restaking can also refer to using an asset or existing stake to support additional network security. If you mean Bitcoin staking through Babylon and Atlas, start with our BTCFi guide and review that protocol’s specific terms.

ONE APPROVAL, A REPEATABLE PROCESS

Atlas runs the validator. You decide whether to authorize an operator to redelegate eligible rewards. The REStake app shows the grant before you sign it.

01 / DELEGATE

STAKE WITH ATLAS

Choose an eligible Cosmos network, connect your wallet, and delegate to the Atlas validator. Your original stake remains in your own wallet account.

02 / AUTHORIZE

REVIEW THE GRANT

Open the Atlas entry in REStake. Inspect the validator, permission, and expiry in your wallet before approving. You can later revoke the authorization.

03 / COMPOUND

LET REWARDS REJOIN THE STAKE

When that network’s Atlas operator runs and the rewards meet its conditions, the operator sends the claim and delegation transaction. Your balance and grant remain visible on chain.

Compounding doesn’t change the chain’s reward rate or remove staking risk. Timing, minimum rewards, fees, and availability can vary by network and operator.

YOU APPROVE THE SCOPE

REStake uses Cosmos Authz so an operator can submit a limited delegation transaction on your behalf. According to the project’s current documentation, REStake no longer requires a separate reward withdraw grant for auto compounding. Review the exact grant shown in your wallet before you sign.

The operator pays for its scheduled compounding transaction; creating or revoking your authorization may require a normal network fee from your wallet. The grant doesn’t give Atlas your seed phrase or custody of your original stake.

Read the REStake project documentation ↗ for the current mechanics.

Common questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What REStake changes, what it doesn’t change, and what to check before using it.

01Do I have to claim staking rewards myself?

Without an automation tool, you generally claim and delegate rewards yourself if you want to compound them. When REStake is enabled for your validator and network, its operator can perform that cycle for eligible rewards on its schedule. Check the live operator status; it isn’t a guaranteed daily service.

02Does auto compounding increase the network reward rate?

No. It puts earned rewards back into the delegated balance so that balance may earn future protocol rewards. The benefit depends on the size of your stake, network rules, timing, fees, token price, and whether the operator actually runs. No APY or return is guaranteed.

03Can Atlas move the tokens in my wallet?

REStake’s current model grants permission for delegation to the selected validator, not unrestricted wallet access. Still, an Authz grant is an on chain permission, so inspect every message, validator address, and expiry shown in your wallet. Never approve a grant that includes an unexpected send or transfer permission.

04How do I stop automatic compounding?

Revoke the grant through REStake or a wallet that supports Cosmos Authz management. Revoking stops future authorized compounding transactions; it doesn’t automatically undelegate your existing stake. Check your network’s unbonding rules separately if you later decide to unstake.

05Is the unstaking period always 21 days?

No. Unbonding is set by each network and can change through governance. Check the current rules for the chain you stake on before delegating funds you may need soon.

06Are staking rewards taxable?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and circumstances. Keep records of rewards, claims, and delegations, and ask a qualified local tax professional. We use Koinly to help organize blockchain transactions, but it doesn’t replace professional advice.

Staking and auto compounding involve validator performance, slashing where applicable, token price volatility, network fees, lockups, and software or authorization risk. Past rewards don’t predict future results. This page is educational and isn’t financial, legal, or tax advice. Review each network’s current rules and the permission shown in your wallet before signing.
