Staking Cosmos with Ledger
Earn money while holding Cosmos (ATOM)
Staking is the process of holding funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to support the operations of a blockchain network and, in return, holders are rewarded for their contribution.
Cosmos sets itself as an all-in-one solution to solve scalability and interoperability issues that the blockchain industry has been trying to address using a hybrid Proof-of-Stake mechanism. Atom (ATOM) is the only currency of the Cosmos Hub. Transactions are dealt with by validators. By making blocks, those validators receive rewards, which are redistributed to their delegators according to the validator’s commission rate.
Rewards
You can earn passive income by participating in the Cosmos network using delegation.
The current annual yield on Cosmos is around 8 to 10%, minus the validators’ fees.
Carefully select your validator(s) as the rewards you’ll receive will depend on them. Only the validators that are in the top 125 can distribute rewards.
You can collect your rewards at any time on your account in Ledger Live.
If you want to stop delegating or redelegate to other validators, you need to wait 21 days before having your assets back.

How it worksWhat is Cosmos?
Dubbed "The Internet of Blockchains", Cosmos Network is a next-generation public blockchain at the convergence of scalability and interoperability.
Cosmos is based on a blockchain engine called ‘Tendermint,’ and is generally a hub-and-spoke model for other blockchains to plug into -- facilitating interoperability of assets and better scalability.
