STAKE ATOM USING KEPLR
We love the Interchain and Cosmos ecosystem. We show our support by running validators for multiple chains including Babylon, Band, Cosmos Hub, Kava, Osmosis and Seda.
Rising into the active set of ATOM validators has been a longtime aspiration and we did it with you help! Thank you.
Our earlier 5% ATOM commission rebate promotion ended in Q2 2026. A few 2028 rebate NFTs may still be available for delegations of at least 1,000 ATOM. Ask us about availability before you stake.
We seek your assistance, and in this ATOM staking guide, we will demonstrate how to stake using Keplr and how to switch validators and redelegate to our ATOM validator.
To ask about a remaining 2028 rebate NFT before you stake, use our contact form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does staking ATOM pay?
ATOM staking offers one of the highest yields for a large cap token, but constantly fluctuates so check mintscan for the current ATOM staking APY.
Is Cosmos ATOM staking safe?
Cosmos ecosystem staking is among the safest because it uses a staking module instead of smart contracts. However, if your validator goes offline for too long you can lose 0.01% of your staked tokens, which is usually pennis. It’s meant to embarrass the validator more than anything else.
If your validator mismanages their keys or tries to steal by double signing a block, the penalty is much stiffer. You would lose 5% of your staked tokens and the validator is permanently removed from the set. That’s called being, “Tombstoned.”
Where to stake ATOM tokens?
ATOM can be staked at centralized exchanges, like Coinbase, Kraken and Binance but we urge you not to stake there. CEXs constantly change their commission to bait and switch investors. Coinbase can charge anywhere between 20% and 50% commission!
The highest ATOM staking yield will come by staking from a non-custodial wallet, like Keplr or Ledger Live. Plus, staking from a noncustodial wallet will enable you to claim free crypto in the form of airdrops.
What is staking redelegation?
Redelegating is the act of switching validators without unstaking your tokens. This tutorial should have shown you exactly how to redelegate using Keplr.
Cosmos airdrops move fast
