How to Stake EVMOS (Evmos)

Evmos is an application-agnostic blockchain fully compatible with Ethereum and interoperable with other BFT chains through IBC. Evmos allows projects to run Ethereum as a Cosmos application-specific backend. EVMOS is the native cryptocurrency token on the Evmos network and is easy to stake with Blockdaemon.

Evmos is built to be scalable and proof-of-stake based, running on top of the Tendermint Core consensus engine. This lets developers use Ethereum’s specific capabilities while enjoying Tendermint’s proof-of-stake implementation.

Follow the steps below to stake your EVMOS:

  1. Access Your Wallet
