Question

Hi, looking for help with staking/delegating. It has been 21

days since I undelegated my ATØM in Cosmostation. Why does my wallet have a zero balance? I want to delegate it to a different validator but it looks like my ATØM has disappeared.

Looks like it's an UI issue with your Cosmostation wallet. Maybe it's not fully updated? If the problem persist for some time I suggest you to export your mnemonic code to Keplr

I updated the iOS app and now see the balance. Thanks again. What is Keplr?

Keplr is the other recommended wallet for Cosmos ecosystem tokens next to Cosmostation

Now that I’ve waited the 21 unbonding days is Sentinal still a good choice or are there better options?

Maybe you can help me better understand how to choose for myself. Some have higher APR than others and some have commission and some don’t. I’m not sure I get how commission works

I mean, how to maximize my staking rewards… APR vs commission. So ya, understanding that will help me choose a validator

The best validator is always subjective. Here are some factors that might help: - Higher is the self bonded ratio and higher is the validator’s skin-in-the-game, that usually means that this validator has all the reasons to keep a fair attitude and the infrastructure secure - Commission is something that depends from the validators, usually it is 0-20%. This represents the payment that the validator asks for its service. To make a pratical example, some validators, like Cosmostation and Forbole, are very active in the community and keep developing tools like the wallets and explorers, and this cost an huge amount of money at the end of the day. So I would suggest to split your funds if possible and delegate to validators that are involved in the growth of the network. You can learn more about each validator in their profiles on the wallets and explorers. Please avoid staking to centralized exchanges that do not contribute at all the the growth of the network and don’t vote into governance proposals. The 8-10% is almost for everyone, feel free to use this reward calculator https://www.stakingrewards.com/earn/cosmos Btw commissions can be changed anytime so keep an eye on your validator via telegram or twitter

Thanks @ZoltanAtom. So the commission is taken from my stack rather than paid to me for staking? I think that’s the thing I was misunderstanding…

Yes commission is taking from your rewards. Let’s say Apr is %10 and commission is %10 too ; it means you get %9 rewards.
