Our complete staking guide was designed to take into account that most Persistence supporters use the following wallets to stake XPRT, the native token of the Persistence network:

  • Keplr wallet - a browser extension for Google Chrome (or Brave browser);
  • Persistence wallet - a high security web-based app from Persistence;
  • Cosmostation - a popular crypto wallet for iOS and Android devices;

Let’s approach each wallet to understand how we can engage in staking activities to increase the Persistence network security level and benefit from generous XPRT rewards.

How to stake XPRT with Keplr Wallet

What is Keplr

Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) represents an advanced system of independent networks that can communicate and exchange digital assets and various blockchain-based commodities.

In this environment, Keplr was specially imagined to respond to users’ requirements for a reliable and flexible crypto wallet that can enable them to engage in easy trading and liquidity generation activities in the Cosmos ecosystem.

Keplr can easily be installed as a browser extension in order to store, send and receive Cosmos-based cryptocurrencies allowing users to connect to various dApps, especially decentralized trading platforms where they can acquire coins that are not listed on a centralized exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, FTX, etc.).

At the same time, the Keplr Wallet can be used to engage in staking operations where token holders can choose from the available list of validators in order to generate staking rewards.

Currently, Keplr Wallet offers access to multiple Cosmos-based networks such as Persistence, Akash, Osmosis, Kava, Sentinel, and Cosmos.

Let’s discover further on how we can use Keplr to stake our XPRT tokens.

How to set up a Keplr wallet

Keplr Wallet can be installed on your desktop via Chrome web store. We need to underline that the browser extension is designed to perform optimally in Google Chrome, but it can equally be installed in the Brave browser. If you have a mobile device that runs on Android or iOS, you can look for Keplr Wallet app in Google Play Store or App Store.

To start the installation process, access the Chrome web store and click ‘Add to Chrome’.

First, you need to choose a name for your account and a password that is difficult to breach. Since we are talking about an important aspect of your financial security, you need to make sure your password is more than 8 characters long and contains various numbers, case letters and special characters. It is important to have a strong password so that your account may be almost impossible to be accessed by hackers. Click 'Next' once these fields are complete.

As soon as you choose to create a new account, you will receive your Mnemonic Seed, which you need to secure in a safe place. Do not store it in an online place where it can easily be accessed by malicious software or hackers. If you want to increase your security level, you can choose a 24 word mnemonic seed.

After you save your mnemonic seed in a safe location, you can choose a name for your account. Click 'Next' to continue.

blog-image

Note:If you don’t have much experience with crypto, you don’t need to access the ‘If you don’t have much experience with crypto, you don’t need to access the ‘Advanced’ option.

In the following step, you will have to confirm your mnemonic seed phrase by typing it in the given order. Select ‘Register’ and that’s it.

Now, the first thing you need to do is to unlock your Ledger device and access the Cosmos app. Thus, you have to connect your Ledger device to your desktop and access the Ledger Live App, if it’s not already installed. Then you have to go to the Manager tab from the menu and access the Cosmos App.

Follow the instructions to find the Persistence app. Install it first before using it.

As soon as you install the Persistence app, you can choose to use your Ledger device for sending, receiving and staking XPRT tokens.

Let’s now see how we can send some XPRT tokens to your Keplr Wallet address.

How to send XPRT tokens to Keplr

Before engaging in any staking activities, you first need to purchase XPRT tokens. If you have already done that, you need to send the tokens to the deposit address of your Keplr Wallet.

To do just that, simply access the Keplr Wallet browser extension and select the Persistence network from the drop down list.

blog-image

Click on the address displayed at the top in order to copy it to your clipboard.

In case you do not have any XPRT tokens, you can purchase some of them on a centralized or decentralized trading platform. You can check the available Persistence markets on any crypto data aggregator that tracks digital currencies.

After receiving the XPRT tokens in your wallet, you can go ahead and use them for trading or staking activities.

How to stake XPRT with Keplr

Now that you have your XPRT tokens in your Keplr wallet you can begin staking them.

Note: Always leave a few tokens on the wallet to pay for transaction fees. 

A Keplr pop-up will appear with information regarding the gas fees. We recommend that you set the gas fee to average. To finish the delegation process set the transaction fee and click 'Approve'.

As soon as you finish staking your tokens, you can check the rewards progress. You have the possibility to decide on the frequency of claiming the rewards. The token rewards can be traded any way you want, or you can put them into staking as you did previously.

The steps explained in this guide can be applied to any Cosmos-based network that appears in the Keplr Wallet.

Note: If you want to unstake your tokens, the blocking period is 21 days which means that after you undelegate your tokens you still have to wait for 21 days to actually have access to your coins.

What are the risks when staking a PoS-based cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency projects that utilize the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism were designed to attract more of the general public to the blockchain world while setting up a more eco-friendly procedure for verifying and accepting transactions.

That’s why, right now, the Proof of Stake mechanism is considered a better solution for digital assets, while Bitcoin’s Proof of Work original protocol is seen as an antique technology that increases electricity consumption all over the world.

Nevertheless, cryptocurrency projects come with various issues and since we are talking about a less regulated industry, we need to make sure we actually understand the project we support before we invest any financial resources.

Will our token prove to be a real store of value while facing a high number of challenges and threats from inside and outside the blockchain space?

Furthermore, we need to understand the existing technical risks when choosing a validator for our tokens. For example, if the validator doesn’t succeed in preserving an optimal level of uptime, some of our own staked tokens may be slashed.

To avoid any unwanted reduction of tokens, we always have to conduct some research on the selected validators. Why would you select a particular validator over another?

As with any financial investment, we must be aware of all the risks involved and do our ‘homework’ before choosing to support a cryptocurrency project or engage in any staking activity.

If you are interested and want to learn more about Persistence, check our dedicated article about the network.

If you are unsure about how to purchase XPRT tokens, feel free to check our guide

. . . .

Why choose JECO as a validator

JECO aims to become a reliable validator in the Persistence network preserving high availability and providing top-notch security.

We chose Persistence after analyzing its core features and principles and understanding how exactly this project delivers real value to its community and supporters.

Persistence convinced us to support its development as we checked its market value and we actually understood this project can bridge traditional and blockchain-based finance worlds acting as a magnet for retail and institutional players that are looking to secure their investments and engage in a seamless exchange of digital assets.

We are driven to maintain a highly secure infrastructure for Proof of Stake projects that offer long-term perspectives and sustainable staking rewards.

. . .

DISCLAIMER: This guide is not financial advice. Staking activities and cryptocurrency investment involve some degree of risk, and there is always the possibility of losing all digital assets. Furthermore, delegators are at risk of slashing in case of security or technical faults on the part of some validators who didn’t invest many resources in establishing a reliable infrastructure. We advise users to research the projects they want to support before investing.
