Stake Cosmos ATOM Using Leap Wallet
Leap is the newest Cosmos wallet on the block, but has quickly become one of the most-preferred. Leap mobile is pretty simple to use and Leap extension is set up to look the exact same as mobile.
Using both versions of Leap wallet, we will show you how to stake ATOM and show you how to switch validators and redelegate ATOM to us.
Fortunately, Leap wallet is simple to use.
FIRST: If you are not currently staking ATOM we will show you how to stake with us.
SECOND: If you are already staking ATOM tokens we will show you how to move your stake from your current validator over to us at Atlas Staking. That process is called, “Redelegating” and only takes a few seconds.

It’s unfortunate that the Melea validator has been deceitful and misled its delegators. We genuinely appreciate your support in helping us secure a spot among the active Cosmos Hub validators. The crypto space is rife with fraudsters, and the Cosmos Hub should adopt a strict, zero-tolerance approach to safeguard its community.
Remember, with our rebate we have THE HIGHEST ATOM STAKING YIELD OF ANY COSMOS HUB VALIDATOR. So, don’t forget to share our 0% commission offer across your social channels!
Thank you for your partnership. We sincerely appreciate you staking with us!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cosmos ATOM staking APY?
Staking yield constantly fluctuates, but as of this writing it’s over 16.5%! Check the mintscan Cosmos Hub page for current ATOM staking APY.
Is staking ATOM risky?
Staking is probably the safest way to generate income from your crypto holdings. Plus, ATOM uses a staking module instead of a staking smart contract, so it’s safer than other ecosystems. The biggest risk would be slashing. If your validator double signs a block 5% of the entire stake is slashed as a penalty and the validator is permanently removed from the set. If the validator is simply offline for too long the penalty is 0.01%, which is usually pennies to most stakers.
Where do I stake my ATOM tokens?
Staking ATOM using a noncustodial wallet, like Ledger will offer the highest yield and give you the most flexibility. You can claim airdrops too by using Keplr, Leap or Cosmostation.
Avoid staking with centralized exchanges, like Kraken, Coinbase and Binance because of their high commissions, network dominance, and difficulty in accessing your tokens.
Do I have to unstake to switch validators?
Nope! You do not have to unbond your tokens to change validators. You simply “redelgate” in your wallet. You can only redelegate once every 21 days.
Nothing we say is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Cryptocurrency is a highly speculative asset class. Staking crypto tokens carries additional risks, including but not limited to smart-contract exploitation, poor validator performance or slashing, token price volatility, loss or theft, lockup periods, and illiquidity.
