The State of ATOM Staking: September 2022 Report
Cosmoverse 2022, which promises a more advanced future for Cosmos, and ATOM, a widely anticipated event, have both drawn attention from the community in the previous month. The project’s founder will outline the project’s long-term goals and new whitepaper.
The important ATOM staking data for the previous month is analyzed in the section below, giving you a thorough picture of Cosmos Hub activities.
1/ ATOM Overview
The following are major data points about generic ATOM token statistics:
- Total Market Cap: $4.15B+ (+36,5%) — Rank #20
- 24-Hr Trading Volume: $478M+ (+196,89%)
- Holders: 784,841
- Circulating Supply: 292M+ tokens
- Bonded Tokens: 205M+ tokens (+2,5%)
- Social mentions: 107.72K (+36,7%)
- Social engagements: 330.64M (+60,72%)
2/ Cosmos Hub Overview
The following data shows significant data points about IBC activity on Cosmos Hub during the last 30 days:
- IBC Volume (30D): $206M+ (+33,77%)
- IBC Transfers (30D): 335K+ (+23,16%)
- Active Zones (30D): 49
- Block Height: 12.20M (+3,86%)
3/ Staking Market Cap
Cosmos Hub (ATOM) is ranked 7th among cryptocurrency assets by staking market cap at the time of writing, moving up 2 positions from last month and now resting at $4.1B+. In terms of the staking ratio, it ranks 20th out of 85 PoS networks and has been pretty stable since last month.
4/ Staking Ratio and Stats
ATOM’s staking ratio has improved by little more than 1% in the previous 30 days, totaling 66.39%. This is most likely due to a combination of reasons, including greater usage of ATOM and Cosmos Hub, as well as an overall uptick in sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, and the Cosmoverse event in Medellin will unveil the atom 2.0 paper & the vision
At the moment, 205M+ ATOM tokens are bound in relation to its circulating supply of 310M+.
This is a major net positive for ATOM, as it gets closer to attaining its peak staking ratio of 75% in 2020.
5/ ATOM Delegates
Unique delegates are an important aspect in evaluating the amount of adoption for ATOM staking on Cosmos Hub, as they represent an increase in interest and dedication to securing the chain. At the time of writing, the number of ATOM delegates stood at 524,191, up over 5.02% from a month earlier.
6/ Validator Stats
Cosmos Hub has 175 active validators out of its total of 441, which helps to secure its network. Running a validator node results in an average APR of about 19%, which is similar to last month.
*The top 24 validators continue to collectively hold more than 67.26% of all staked ATOM, notwithstanding a modest variation in the quantity controlled during the past month (governance consensus threshold).
7/ Nakamoto Coefficient
The Nakamoto Coefficient is a crucial indicator of stake concentration across a blockchain’s validator set and shows the minimum number of validators required to act maliciously in order to damage the chain.
Staked tokens are dispersed more evenly across network validators when the coefficient value is higher (compared to the total number of active validators), strengthening the chain’s decentralization and security.
The Nakamoto coefficient, with its 175 active validators, has stayed at 7 since the last update in August.
Closing Note
The purpose of this report is to give you an informed, all-in-one summary of ATOM staking data. Let’s prepare for the new future of Cosmos 2.0, keep learning, and invest wisely.
