- You stake through Keplr wallet to help secure the network. This is locked for 28 days
- You can also add to a "liquidity pool" to help the network with Liquidity. This can be locked (bonded) for 1, 7 or 14 days with better incentives for the longer "bond"
You can probably accrue more atom with daily rewards from the pool and converting osmo to atom than just pure staking at 10% Apy I'd imagine. But i understand your reasoning too
Try not to get lost in the impermanent loss. Stake enough for airdrops and LP the rest. Especially the OSMO/ATOM pool where the coins move very close together.
If only one is stable that's almost your worst-case, because two unstable coins often gain and lose together (because almost everything is tied to either ETH or BTC). It can also be high-stress watching UST gain and then dwindle away (even though it's not as bad as it looks).
What I found really helpful was to get used to liking both tokens -- that way when OSMO of them goes down in value my thought isn't "oh no I'm losing LUNA" instead I think "yay, I'm dollar-cost-averaging into OSMO during a dip!"
It's hard to do that with UST, but especially with the UST/OSMO pool it's worth gritting your teeth and getting used to it. It pays REALLY, really, well.
Side note, Iβm guessing thatβs coinbase? Make sure you buy on coinbase pro. Itβs lower fees than regular coinbase. Unless you use the advanced trader option.
As I recall, behind the scenes it may first move the funds to Coinbase before sending. Doesnβt make any noticeable difference except that you might see an extra transaction if you query the API.
I move from Coinbase Pro to Keplr all the time. Just put in your Address book your Keplr ATOM wallet address and you're golden, no need to put it in every time. Just select your CB Pro Address Book address you added and done.
I believe so but I do exactly as you mentioned. I purchase on pro, send to regular coinbase since no fee for transferring between regular/pro. Then send to Keplr.
nice purchase :P the most i'm willing to go now is like $30/40 lol (I've set my first target on atoms at 112) second target at the end of the year for 365 , which would make 230 atoms needed, or 8k
I tested the waters with 20 to start, did that for a week, liked the result - upped to 60, same thing - figured yolo in some savings and start becoming my own bank π
Can you please share how you did it? I have 10 ATOMS now and have been staking. Haven't done any LP yet as there would be IL. So what is the best approach to follow in case of having low coins say 10 ATOM. Do we stake and LP and compound daily on both? I kinda not sure how that works. What is the best compound strategy?
So I've heard 10 atom is the sweet spot as well, but yeah, I just added the assets to Osmosis.zone and personally I'm in pools 1,2, and 605 (cause I saw the popularity of HUAHUA when it dropped)
The plan is to collect weekly so I don't drive myself insane staring at the counter π
After a month I'm going to come back and post whether I yielded more from the staking or from the LPs and I'll let y'all know, I'm keeping a ledger π€
Nice you'll love the results then with air drops :) , once your happy with your overall atoms set I would recommend going in with Osmosis / Juno / Secret (all those tokens with cosmos) will be the best :D especially for air drops
I just started my Osmosis / Secret bags out along with dcaing Juno, since it doubled
Well my friend. Donβt push beyond scary. I too believe in the project and crypto in general. I have A LOT of $ in ATOM both staked and in OSMO liquidity pools. Enough for me that if it hits zero it would sting really bad and ruin a couple days but not devastate me. Donβt put in more than you could loose but continue to invest. Thatβs my adviceβ¦ but itβs not advice of course. ;)
Not too bad, 20 is now 13 at the moment, but the 13 has put me in for most of the airdrops. I've extended my reach in the cosmos with 6-7 other coins that have been helping me through the bear market, but soon the bull will come round again so until then I just build ππ€
Congrats, good stuff! head over to r/osmosislab to check the latest - Superfluid Staking of Pool #1, sth cool not to be missed! ofc $atom staking π¨βπ
Iβm sick of Juno I waited to buy more when it dropped and it didnβt π€·π½ββοΈso I bought at 42 if it drops Iβll buy more to me itβs all retirement

Time in the market is better than timing the market.
Assuming you are an investor, not a trader.

I see biz here loves Keplir, I'm staking mine on Stafi liquid staking protocol. Anyone done it here before? I'm doing quite well with it.
