The Cosmos Hub keeps track of balances and routes transactions through the internet of blockchains. When you stake your ATOMs with Chorus One you can earn rewards up to 9.67% per annum.
The Cosmos Hub seeks to become the center of a network of blockchains abiding by the standards of the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC). Cosmos technologies like Tendermint and the Cosmos SDK framework are used by projects like Binance Chain, Band, Terra, Kava, Aragon, and others - securing multiple billions of dollars in value. By delegating ATOM to Cosmos Hub validators like Chorus One, stakers receive a share of inflationary token rewards, as well as fees from transactions that go through the Hub, for example for routing tokens between two IBC-compatible blockchains.
Please note that the unstake period is 21 days. This means that you can only unstake and withdraw coins to your wallet after this time has passed. We wish you profitable staking!

Staking your SKL via the Activate platform and Metamask involves three main steps:
Visit the Consensys Activate homepage and click “Sign Up” in the top right corner. Fill out the required information and make sure to choose a strong password for your account (Required: Minimum 8 characters, 1 number, 1 special character, 1 lowercase, 1 uppercase).
You need to verify your eMail address via a confirmation mail that is sent to you right after you filled out the required information. Click the link in the eMail and sign in to your newly created Activate account.
After your first login, you are asked to provide additional information and pass a KYC in case you want to participate in future token sales that are conducted via the Activate platform. You can either do this right away or come back to it later by visiting the “Your Profile” section in the upper right corner of the Activate UI.
The first step to staking your Skale is creating an Account on the Activate Platform
Visit the Activate main menu by clicking the icon in the upper left corner. Then click on Connect Wallet and choose Metamask (you can also use Metamask with a Ledger Device). You will now see your wallet address in the upper right corner.
Connect your Activate Account with your Metamask Wallet with just a few clicks
In case you do not have any SKL token in your account, make sure to properly fund it before you continue. Simply copy your address by clicking on it. Then send the SKL to it that you want to stake.
After you fund your account, visit the Staking page on Activate. Here you will find an overview of available validators that are active on the Skale network.
Fund your account and then visit the “Staking” menu
To start the staking process, click stake next to the validator of your choice. Read through the displayed information and then click Stake my first SKALE tokens.
Now choose the amount of your SKL that you want to stake as well as a staking period (currently only 2 months is available). Please note that you need to stake more than 100 SKL and that your staked funds are locked and illiquid for your entire staking period. Once you read through all the information, click Continue. In the subsequent window, click Stake [your amount] SKL to Chorus One.
Your stake will become active by the beginning of the next epoch (first of every calendar month) and once your delegation is accepted by your chosen validator. Once your transaction is confirmed, you are presented with a summary of your staking request.
Please note that you need to stake more than 100SKL
And that’s a wrap! You are now helping to secure the Skale network for which you earn rewards. Congratulations and welcome aboard our Skale validator, good to have you with us!
There are a few things to keep in mind when staking on the Skale network. Within the Activate UI, you can manage most of your staking operations within the “Token Inventory” submenu of the “Staking” page.
Most staking operations are performed in the “Token Inventory”
In the Token Inventory menu you find an overview of how your funds are constituted. At the bottom of the page, you can find an overview of your staking operation. Please note that once you staked your SKL, the stake will become active in the subsequent epoch and will remain locked for the entire staking period. The validator you chose to stake with has to accept your delegation.
The Token Inventory provides you with an overview of your staking operations
Epochs are units of time within the Skale network. They equal a one-month calendar period of network activity. They always start on the 1st of each calendar month. Rewards for validators and delegators are distributed at the end of each epoch and you are able to claim them within several days after the end of the epoch. Please note that claiming your rewards incurs a transaction fee, so make sure to have enough ETH in your wallet to cover the fees. Your rewards do NOT expire and you can claim them whenever you please. To claim your rewards, visit the “Token Inventory” and click “Claim [x] SKL”. Approve the transaction in the Metamask pop-up window and, in case you are using a ledger, sign the transaction on your ledger device.
How you can claim your Skale staking rewards
The default setting of your staking operation is set to “Auto-renew”. This means that your staking period is automatically renewed for the same period as you initially choose. Hence, your tokens are automatically re-delegated to your chosen validator at the end of your delegation period. You can always choose to stop this by visiting the “Token Inventory” and switching the button next to Auto-renew?.
Note that this will incur transaction fees that you need to cover. Make sure to stop the auto-renewal a few days before your staking period ends. Also, note that this cannot be reversed. Make sure to turn off “auto-renewal” in case you want your funds liquid after your staking period
Celo is an open platform that makes financial tools accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. When you stake your CELO tokens with Chorus One you can earn rewards up to 13.2% per annum.
The native Celo token (CELO) is used to pay for transactions and these can also be staked by token-holders to earn rewards, participate in governance, and vote for validators.
You have to perform 3 steps to be able to stake your CELO tokens with Chorus One
First, you will need to lock your CELO with the following command.
Please note that CELO tokens require 3 days to unlock
celocli lockedgold:lock --from 0xYourAddress --value 10000000000000000000000
Be sure to change 0xYourAddress to the address that is holding your CELO. 10000000000000000000000 is equivalent to 10,000 CELO.
We recommend using a Ledger hardware wallet for the CELO tokens. If you are using a Ledger, add -useLedger to the above command
celocli lockedgold:lock --from 0xYourAddress --value 10000000000000000000000 --useLedger
Once you have completed this transaction, wait one day and activate your votes by using the following command
celocli election:activate --from 0xYourAddress --wait
Complete your staking process by voting for Chorus One Validator
celocli election:vote –for=0x81cef0668e15639D0b101bdc3067699309D73BED –from=0xYourAddress –value=1000000000000000000000
Be sure to change 0xYourAddress to the address that is holding your CELO.
In this example, 10000000000000000000000 is being used to vote for Chorus One with 10,000 CELO.

Make sure to not share or lose the secret recovery phrase (mnemonic)
If you already have a wallet, you can restore it on Phantom using the associated seed phrase. Follow the online instructions to restore your SOL account.
Once you entered the 12 or 24 words you can then restore your wallet and optionally set a password on your account.
Once you have funded your Phantom wallet with Solana, you can click on the Phantom extension to see your account details.
Once logged in, you will be able to view all the SPL assets that you possess. If you do not already have SOL tokens you can get them from a friend or buy them off-exchange and transfer those to your wallet.
Once you do that you will be able to see the SOL tokens in your wallet.

Once it reaches the MAX number of confirmations your transaction gets added to the blockchain
Make sure to note down the transaction hash or the link provided on the screen. This allows for easier debugging in case of a failed transaction.
After your transaction is successful you can go back to your Phantom wallet, click on the Solana balance, and see your stake accounts.
Congratulations! You are now staking your SOL!
If you click on your stake accounts you will see that your stake is activating. It takes 1 epoch for your stake to activate. An epoch in Solana lasts for approximately 2-3 days. After this period your stake will show up as active and will start earning rewards.

You can nominate validators (also known as staking) on Polkadot-JS UI using the following steps
Create a Polkadot account if you don’t have one already. Get the browser extension by visiting Polkadot.js.org/extension
Click on the extension card and add it to your browser.
After adding to your browser it will appear as a P icon in the toolbar
Please note it is recommended to create two accounts: one to use as the controller account and one to use as your stash account. Learn more about this here
If you want to know more details about how to create an account you can visit the official docs here.Also, make sure you leave a small amount of DOT transferrable in your stash account and that your controller has more than 1 DOT in it. This is in order to have enough liquid funds for paying transaction fees when bonding and unbonding funds.
In this step, we will actually go through the process of staking which is comprised of bonding the tokens and nominating the validators.
Go to the Polkadot-JS UI main page. Click the Staking link under the Network tab at the top. Click “Account actions” (on top). It may take a while to load. If you're using a Ledger, skip the following steps and check the section below.
You need to bond funds to nominate a validator. So go ahead and click the + Nominator button(top right).
Choose your Stash and Controller accounts. It is more secure to choose separate stash and controller accounts. So make sure you create a separate controller account first in the same manner as you created your stash account. Again, make sure you have funds in your controller account.
Then select the amount you want to bond and the rewards destination and click "Next"
In the next screen select Chorus One as the validator. Finally, click Bond and Nominate.
Enter the password for your account and click Sign & submit.
Sign the transaction using your stash account
Additionally, if you need to change the nominated validators or unbond your balance you just need the controller account to perform the transaction.
Before you begin staking, please pay close attention to these important points:
How to stake using Ledger
Make sure both the ledger live app and device are up to date
Go to manager in the left panel and install Polkadot app if you haven't already
Add your account by going to the Accounts tab in the left panel and clicking on the Add Account
Choose Polkadot in the popup that appears upon clicking Add Account
Follow the instructions to create the new account
Once you have an account you can buy DOTs directly from the Ledger Live app.
In case you are unable to buy DOTs directly from Ledger Live you may use an exchange to do so.
To stake go to the Accounts tab in the left panel and click on the account for which you want to perform the staking operation
Once you have your account opened click on Manage on the top-right and under it select Earn Rewards
Then enter the amount of DOTs you want to bond
To compound your rewards you can select the Bonded Balance tab instead of the Available Balance tab. Click Continue and confirm the bonding transaction on your device. Finally Nominate a validator in the next step
Polkadot allows Nominated proof of staking where you are allowed to nominate up to 16 validators. By clicking on the Nominate byou will be able to select the validator. Search for Chorus One and click Continue.
Congratulations!! You are now staking your Polkadot! You may see your rewards in the portfolio section
You can also see the video tutorial on the official Polkadot youtube channel
