What can you stake on Keplr Wallet?
How to stake on Keplr Wallet

Keplr Wallet staking — common questions
Is Keplr safe for staking?
Keplr is open-source and audited, but as a browser extension you must guard against phishing sites and malicious dApps. Always verify the URL before signing transactions.
Can I unstake instantly on Cosmos chains?
No. Cosmos chains require an unbonding period (14 days on ATOM, 21 on Osmosis, 28 on Akash). During unbonding you earn no rewards. Liquid staking via Stride avoids this lock.
