Step-by-Step: Stake ATOM on Lace
Install Lace
Download and install Lace from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.
Fund the wallet with ATOM
Buy ATOM on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Lace address. Double-check the network before sending.
Open the staking section
In Lace, navigate to the staking or earn tab for Cosmos Hub. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.
Delegate and confirm
Enter the amount of ATOM to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
