ATOM from the Cosmos Hub is now available for liquid staking on Quicksilver. ATOM holders can stake ATOM and receive liquid-staked qATOM. Liquid staking rewards are autocompounded by the protocol. This article shows you how to stake ATOM on the Quicksilver protocol.

How to Stake ATOM on Quicksilver Protocol

Step 1: Connect Wallet & Select Network

Go to https://app.quicksilver.zone/ and click CONNECT WALLET on the top right. Connect your Keplr or Ledger wallet to the protocol. Then, select the Cosmos network in the drop-down.

Connect your wallet and select the Cosmos network.

Step 2: Select Validators

The protocol will provide you with a list of validators. You can choose up to 8 validators where you would like your stake to be delegated after the signaling intent feature goes live.

Before the feature goes live, your stake will be evenly distributed among all validators active on all chains supported by the protocol.
