What is Cosmos Hub?
Cosmos Hub is the original chain of the wider Cosmos ecosystem and secures interchain security for other chains. ATOM holders delegate to validators through an official Cosmos-compatible wallet, with a three-week unbonding period.
How to stake ATOM
- Get an official wallet that supports Cosmos Hub — the link on this page goes to Cosmos Hub's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your ATOM in that wallet. On most networks this keeps you in full control of your coins.
- From the wallet's staking or delegation screen, research and choose a validator (see our guide on choosing a validator).
- Confirm the delegation transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing automatically after a short activation period.
- Monitor your validator's performance periodically, and remember any unbonding period that applies if you later want to undelegate.
StakeRadar is an informational guide only. We don't process transactions, hold funds, or connect to wallets. Use the "Go to official site" button above (or a provider below) to reach a real, official destination and complete staking there, in your own wallet.
Unbonding & lock-up
Unbonding ATOM takes 21 days before it becomes transferable again.
