When staking Cosmos (ATOM) you are supporting the network with the additional benefit of compounding your ATOM!
​
Staking ATOM is the process of holding ATOM "stake" to partake and support the operations in the Cosmos network to receive rewards. In order to be a "Validator" and participate in these operations, one is required to maintain a server running continuously, technological knowhow, experience, and have a significant self-bond (surety bond).
​

This is where P2P Validator comes in, we allow ATOM token holders to forget about all the heavy lifting i.e maintenance, surety bonds etc. by "delegating" their holdings to P2P to receive these rewards. We accumulate users' stake and act as a major validation node, receiving and allocating staking rewards between our users pro rata to the delegation.
​
Users that chose to stake with P2P.org maintain full custody of their ATOM at all times and P2P.org will never have access to them.
​
​Example:
​
Assuming, the current APR for staking ATOM is 19.7% with a fee of 8% and I delegate 1000 ATOM to P2P.org.
​
Reward: 1000*19.7% = 197 ATOM
Fee = 197*8% = 15.76 ATOM
Estimated balance after 1 year = 1000 + 197 - 15.76 = 1181.24 ATOM
​
By simply delegating my 1000 ATOM as I hold it, I will have supported the network and earned an additional 181.24 ATOM after 1 year.
​
​Please keep in mind that the APR specified is approximate and changes along with network conditions.
