STAKING FET TOKENS WITH ASI ALLIANCE WALLET
Earning rewards through FET token staking has become more accessible than ever. Not only can native Cosmos wallets, like Keplr, Leap and Cosmostation do the job, but ASI Alliance Wallet provides a fourth option.
ASI is the official wallet designed specifically for the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ecosystem. This comprehensive tutorial explains everything you need to know about staking FET using the ASI Alliance Wallet, from initial setup through reward optimization strategies.

WHY USE ASI WALLET FOR FET STAKING
The ASI Alliance Wallet serves as the native solution for managing and staking FET tokens within the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance network. Unlike third-party wallets that support multiple chains, ASI Alliance Wallet was purpose-built for seamless interaction with Fetch.ai’s infrastructure.
Unfortunately, that means its functionality is limited. ASI wallet does not have a built in swap feature, cannot connect to REStake to automate compounding, or Skip or Osmosis to trade. That makes it virtually impossible for us to recommend it.
However, the wallet integrates directly with the Fetch.ai mainnet, eliminating the need for bridges or intermediary services that could introduce security vulnerabilities or additional fees. This direct connection also means faster transaction processing and immediate access to newly released network features.
Getting Your ASI Alliance Wallet Ready
Getting set up starts with downloading ASI wallet through their official website. The wallet is available for both mobile mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop users. After downloading the wallet, either connect your Ledger hardware wallet, import your seed phrase from a different wallet, or set up a new FET address.
During wallet creation, the system generates a unique seed phrase containing 12 or 24 words that serves as your master key. Write this phrase on paper and store it in a secure physical location—never save it digitally or share it with anyone. This recovery phrase represents complete access to your wallet and cannot be reset if lost.
Be certain to check out our wallet security checklist that we link to below.
Acquiring and Transferring FET to Your Wallet
Native FET tokens can be staked immediately upon arrival, while ERC-20 tokens require bridging to the Fetch.ai mainnet—a process that adds complexity, time, and bridging fees. When buying FET on a centralized exchange, send a small test transaction as your initial withdrawal from the exchange. It’s better to make a mistake with just a couple tokens, and not your whole bag.
To transfer tokens, open your ASI Wallet, click “Receive” and copy the address. Paste your FET receiving address into your exchange’s withdrawal interface. Fetch is fast, so your withdrawal should hit your wallet address within a couple seconds. Once your balance appears in the wallet, you’re ready to delegate your tokens.

MANAGING STAKING REWARDS & CRYPTO TAXES
We tested several portfolio management and crypto tax platforms, and Koinly is by far our favorite. Even if you are fortunate enough to live in a country that doesn’t tax your crypto, it’s still important to monitor your portfolio.
Be sure to check out our wallet security checklist. It will take even the newest crypto investors and turn them into pros.
Koinly is free to use and only charges if/when you want to generate a report. So, it’s risk free to try and by using our referral link below you can be sure to lock in future discounts you may need.
Advanced Staking Strategies for Maximum Returns
Experienced stakers compound their rewards. Regular reward claiming combined with immediate restaking will increase your yield and help you acquire tokens quicker.
Some stakers claim rewards monthly to reinvest across multiple cryptocurrency positions, while others maximize compounding by restaking daily.
You can grant authorization to us at Atlas Staking that allows us to claim and restake your FET rewards to compound daily. However, ASI wallet does not currently support this feature so we recommend Keplr, Leap, or Cosmostation. We provide the official download links for all wallets on our ASI page.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the minimum FET amount required to begin staking with ASI Alliance Wallet?
The ASI Alliance Wallet doesn’t impose a minimum staking requirement. However, practical considerations suggest keeping at least 1 FET token unstaked and available in your wallet balance. This reserve covers transaction fees for claiming rewards and managing your stake.
How does the ASI Alliance Wallet handle rewards from multiple validators?
When you delegate FET to multiple validators to spread out risk of downtime and slashing, the wallet automatically provides a complete breakdown showing your staking distribution across all validators and the individual rewards accumulated from each one. When you’re ready to claim, simply select the “Claim” button and the wallet collects all rewards from every validator you’re delegated to in a single transaction. This consolidated claiming process saves transaction fees and simplifies portfolio management.
Can I transfer ERC-20 FET tokens directly into ASI Alliance Wallet for staking?
ERC-20 versions of FET that exist on the Ethereum network cannot be staked. If you currently hold ERC-20 FET from exchanges that only support Ethereum withdrawals (like Coinbase), you’ll need to use the official token bridge to convert them to native FET. You would withdraw ERC-20 FET to your Ethereum receiving address and then connect your Ethereum wallet (like MetaMask) to the bridge.
To avoid this complexity, purchase FET from exchanges that support native Fetch.ai network withdrawals, like Binance that has mainnet integration, allowing immediate staking upon arrival to your ASI FET address.
What happens to my FET if I select a validator that gets penalized?
Validators can face slashing penalties if they exhibit malicious behavior or experience extended periods of downtime that harm network performance. When a validator is slashed, a small percentage of all tokens delegated to them—including yours—may be permanently lost as a penalty. The penalty for being offline too long is very small, 0.01%. The penalty for double signing a block is severe at 5% and permanent removal from the validator set.
How frequently should I claim my staking rewards?
You want to claim and restake your rewards as often as possible to compound your returns. However, it can be time consuming and difficult to stay consistent with. That’s why Atlas Staking uses the REStake platform to automate the process for you. Unfortunately, ASI wallet does not connect to REStake to grant us authorization. You must use Keplr, Leap, or Cosmostation.
Does the ASI Alliance Wallet support staking on mobile devices or only desktop?
You can manage your FET stake from smartphones, tablets, or desktop computers. The mobile experience provides the same comprehensive validator information, real-time reward tracking, and one-tap claiming that desktop users enjoy.
Can I change validators without going through the full unbonding period?
You bet! The ASI Alliance Wallet has a “redelegate” function that allows you to move your staked FET from one validator to another without entering the 21-day unbonding period. Your stake is transferred within a second or two. We’d be thrilled to have you redelegate your tokens to us at Atlas Staking.
What security measures should I implement when using ASI Alliance Wallet for staking?
You owe it to yourself to check out our wallet security checklist for a complete strategy. Store your recovery phrase offline on paper in a secure physical location, never in digital format where it could be compromised by hackers. Use a strong, unique password for wallet access that you don’t use for any other services. When viewing your wallet balance or managing stakes in public places, be aware of shoulder-surfers who might observe your screen and DO NOT CONNECT TO PUBLIC WIFI.
Consider using a hardware wallet like Ledger in conjunction with ASI Alliance Wallet for additional security when staking larger amounts. Finally, only download the wallet from official sources to avoid malicious fake applications designed to steal credentials.
Nothing we say is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Cryptocurrency is a highly speculative asset class.
