What Is Staking?
Crypto staking is a way to passively grow your crypto assets. It involves locking up your digital assets to support a blockchain network security and governance.
Simply put, with Delegated Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Blockchains like in the Cosmos ecosystem, you can stake your assets and earn rewards for doing so… Sounds appealing, isn’t it?
Cosmos (ATOM): An Internet Of BlockchainsCosmos (ATOM), a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, is often heralded as an “Internet of Blockchains” that solves a major pain point within the blockchain industry: its fragmentation. Hundreds of blockchain exist, but the problem is that they can hardly communicate.
To answer this technical hurdle, Cosmos aims to create a network of crypto protocols united by open-source tools. Cosmos’ differentiating factor is hence its focus on interoperability.
How are Cosmos’ staking rewards generated? If you stake ATOM, you are generating rewards from two different ways at the same time. On the one hand, transaction fees collected on the Cosmos Hub are distributed to stakers. On the other hand, the total supply of ATOM is inflated after each block created in order to reward those who participate to secure the network.
Stake Cosmos (ATOM) On Ledger ValidatorYour staking experience is reaching a new milestone as Ledger now has its own staking validator. You can contribute to the security of the Cosmos blockchain while earning rewards by delegating your ATOM to a Ledger validator.

Verify and confirm the delegation operation on your Ledger device. Start staking crypto to passively earn money. Why Stake Through The Ledger Ecosystem?Different staking techniques exist. On the one hand, custodial staking solutions imply that centralized third-parties own your private keys. But that comes with a serious drawback: you don’t own your private keys and hence don’t enjoy full ownership of your coins. If the exchange platform gets hacked, censored or goes bankrupt while your coins are staked, consider them gone.
When managing your digital assets, you should always remember one simple fact: if you are not in control of your keys, you are not in control of your coins.
Trading your digital assets through a software wallet means that your display screen is online and as a result inherently vulnerable to hacking. You are never 100% sure that what you see on your computer/smartphone screen is what you sign. In contrast, staking through your hardware wallet eliminates the risks since its offline feature makes it impenetrable to hackers and avoids blind signing.
