If you own E-Money’s NGM tokens, good for you! The protocol is building next generation stable coins to facilitate global payments.

If you own NGM tokens and plan to hold them for the medium to long-term, consider staking them. Staking your tokens will help secure the network and as a reward, you’ll be paid more NGM tokens.
Staking Rewards
Currently the NGM staking APY is over 23%. Please know that this rate fluctuates as people stake or unstake their tokens. Currently NGM’s inflation rate, or new token issuance is fixed at 10%. That rate can only change via community governance. If current staking APY is 23% then your real yield is 13% (23%-10%),
Purchasing NGM
Currently NGM can be swapped for USDT on Ascendex or Kucoin. NGM can also be acquired on the decentralized exchange, Osmosis.
Keplr and Cosmostation Wallets
At this time NGM can be staked using both Keplr and Cosmostation. Keplr is our favorite crypto wallet and is preferred by desktop users. Cosmostation is preferred by mobile users.
We’re glad to say that the Ledger hardware wallet can be connected to both for those who like added security. At Atlas Staking we always recommend using a hardware wallet to custody funds.
With all that being said, let’s get down to business!

Did you know that you can “redelegate” and move your staked tokens from one validator to another without unbonding and waiting 21 days?
But, it’s important to note that you can only redelegate tokens once in a 21 day period. That’s to keep yield chasers from jumping around.
