Stake KAVA Using Keplr
Kava offers a premier lending and borrowing platform for both EVM and Cosmos users. The KAVA token is used to pay transaction fees, to vote on governance proposals and to secure the network through staking.
KAVA staking offers attractive rewards and we are thrilled to say they come only from fees generated on the network. KAVA staking rewards no longer come from inflation! The tokenomics were vastly improved in January, 2024 when inflation went to 0%.
We believe that staking KAVA tokens is a great long-term bet and we would be thrilled to have you as a staking partner. Here’s is our Atlas Staking validator page on Mintscan.
In this step-by-step Keplr staking guide, we’ll show you just how simple it is to stake KAVA tokens and earn rewards. Let’s Fu@kin Go!

Keplr is a fantastic wallet because it’s extremely user-friendly. Even the crypto newbie can quickly figure it out. This KAVA staking tutorial will show you both the browser extension and the mobile app.

Frequently Asked Questions
The staking yield fluctuates with network activity and validator performance. Check Mintscan for the current APY.
To send KAVA tokens to your Keplr generated address you simply need your KAVA receiving address. Find the Kava network and click on it. Then click into the KAVA token position page. Then click or tap “receive.” Send your KAVA tokens to that receiving address.
ALWAYS send small test transactions first, just to make sure everything goes through properly.
The amount of KAVA rewards you will earn depends on many factors, including the number of KAVA tokens you stake and the duration of time you stake for. Check the KAVA staking calculator on Atomscan to get an idea.
Wallets are adding tokens all the time, but we recommend using Cosmos-native wallets Keplr and Leap. Cosmostation is another option. You can also stake KAVA using Trust and Atomic wallets.
We welcome you to stake KAVA with us at Atlas Staking. Look for validators that have 99%-100% uptime, have self-staked tokens, have a website and a way to contact them, participate on social channels, vote on governance proposals and are in the bottom half of the active validator set.
Yep! You can obviously restake your KAVA manually by claiming and restaking periodically. Or, use REstake to automate your compounding.
If you are uncomfortable taking self-custody of your tokens, then Kraken is a good option. However, they charge very high commission and that makes an enormous difference on your returns over time. We generally discourage people from staking with centralized exchanges.
Blocks United has a great article on why you should not stake with Coinbase or any centralized provider.
