OnStaking, the next-generation Web3 staking and infrastructure platform, today announced a major upgrade to its staking suite with full integration of the Cosmos ecosystem, enabling users to stake ATOM tokens directly through the platform. With this new feature, users can now earn up to 12% annual percentage yield (APY) by staking ATOM, the native token of Cosmos.

This integration marks another significant step in OnStaking’s mission to bring high-performance, multi-chain staking opportunities to both retail and institutional investors, while delivering seamless, secure, and optimized yield generation experiences.

Cosmos Staking Comes to OnStaking

The Cosmos network, known as the “Internet of Blockchains,” has long been a favorite in the Web3 space due to its focus on interoperability, modularity, and scalability. With its Tendermint consensus engine and the IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol, Cosmos empowers decentralized networks to interact and share data efficiently.

By adding support for ATOM staking, OnStaking now allows users to participate in the Cosmos ecosystem’s decentralized governance and security, while earning one of the highest yields currently available among top-tier staking assets.

Key Features of Cosmos Staking on OnStaking

• High Yield: Users can earn up to 12% APY on their staked ATOM with OnStaking’s optimized validator selection and auto-compounding features.

• Seamless UI/UX: Simple one-click staking from non-custodial wallets with real-time performance tracking.

• Validator Transparency: Users can choose validators based on uptime, performance, commission rate, and environmental impact.

• Security-First Design: Multi-layered smart contract audits, cold storage safeguards, and slashing protection mechanisms.

• Cross-Chain Rewards: Users will be eligible for future airdrops and IBC-linked incentives directly through the OnStaking interface.

Why Cosmos, Why Now?

Cosmos is emerging as a foundational layer in the modular blockchain future. With over 50 active sovereign blockchains (zones) connected through IBC, Cosmos powers an ecosystem that includes Osmosis, Cronos, Juno, Evmos, and many other rising DeFi platforms.

As regulatory scrutiny increases, Cosmos’ architecture offers a developer- and compliance-friendly path to building sovereign blockchains with localized rulesets and scalable economics. Integrating Cosmos aligns with OnStaking’s long-term goal of supporting composable and sovereign DeFi infrastructures.

ATOM: A Token with Real Utility and Governance Power

Staking ATOM not only helps secure the Cosmos Hub but also enables token holders to participate in network governance decisions. Recent proposals have included changes to tokenomics, validator slashing policies, and treasury allocations.

With OnStaking’s governance support tools, stakers can easily delegate votes or participate directly in proposals without leaving the platform.

Staking Rewards Optimized for the Cosmos Ecosystem

OnStaking’s integration utilizes smart validator routing and auto-compounding mechanisms to optimize yield. The system automatically rotates delegations to high-performing validators while minimizing downtime and slashing risks.

In addition to base APY, OnStaking plans to offer bonus rewards in collaboration with Cosmos-native DeFi protocols. These include governance tokens, yield boosters, and loyalty NFTs exclusive to OnStaking users.

Supporting Interchain Future with Cosmos SDK

OnStaking also announced plans to develop its own interchain modules using the Cosmos SDK. These modules will enable cross-staking across multiple zones and a unified dashboard for tracking assets across Cosmos chains.

The company will also release an educational series titled “Cosmos Simplified”, designed to help users better understand the potential and risks of staking in an interchain world.

Community Reactions and Roadmap Ahead

Early beta users of the Cosmos staking integration have reported high satisfaction with the intuitive UI and performance tracking. “I’ve never seen Cosmos staking made so accessible,” said one user during testing.

Looking ahead, OnStaking plans to expand its Cosmos integration by:

• Adding support for other IBC-enabled tokens such as OSMO, EVMOS, and JUNO.

• Launching a Cosmos-native staking vault with auto-rebalancing features.

• Partnering with Cosmos governance DAOs to offer native governance incentives for stakers.
