Summary: Mythos is a long-term Cosmos validator and award winner, with a history of performance across Cosmos and other tendermint-based networks. Staking with Mythos is an opportunity to increase the security of the Cosmos network while further reducing your slashing risks.

How to stake: You’ll need ATOMs, a Ledger Wallet, and 5 to 10 minutes to walk through our Cosmos Staking Walkthrough.

Why Stake with Mythos?

There are currently 86 Cosmos validators and you want to stake with the best. Mythos is a perfect opportunity for you. Here’s why:

First up, Mythos has a history of performance:

Second, Mythos protects your ATOMs from double-sign slashing:

Third, Mythos is invested alongside you for the long-run:

  • Currently self-bonding all available ATOMs GoS Award
  • Did not participate in pre-sale but planning to buy ATOMs when available
  • Started by a long-term crypto holding company — not a short-term fund
  • Founded by an individual who’s passionate about the crypto movement

Fourth, our programs are just getting started. Stay tuned for:

  • An exclusive program for large ATOM holders (100,000+ ATOMs)
  • An improved variable pricing program for all Mythos stakers

Fifth, and maybe most importantly right now, this is also an opportunity for you to help decentralize the Cosmos network by supporting a high quality and underrated validator.

Right now 4 validators control one third of the Cosmos stake and 10 control two thirds. While Mythos is competitive with the top 10 validators in terms of skill, past performance, and infrastructure, we currently have only 0.21% of the voting power! We believe the allocations right now are less merit-based and more the natural result of large fundraiser participants allocating mostly to validators they own or have established relationships with.

This is not good for the security of the Cosmos network.

While the current staking distribution is a start, we don’t think Cosmos investors like you are satisfied with degraded security guarantees as a status quo. By delegating to Mythos, and other quality validators like us, you’re doing you part to achieve the goals of the network, attract other projects and investors, and ultimately, to increase the value of your ATOMs.

And given our history of performance & standards of excellence, delegating to Mythos is an opportunity for you to increase the security of the network while reducing slashing risk to your ATOMs and increasing the value of the network for all.

A win/win in our book. Let’s get staking!

Did you know? If you’re already staking with a validator you can re-delegate your stake instantly to Mythos at anytime — reach out and we can help!
