As a suitable option for long-term crypto token holders, staking pools offer the promise of earning returns in addition to capital gains realized through appreciation in token value.
One can invest in a stake pool with a fraction of the number of tokens required to become a validator on a PoS blockchain, while the stake pool rewards users on a daily, weekly or quarterly basis, depending on the cryptocurrency staking. For example, investors can stake their ETH tokens into a staking pool on Coinbase for daily rewards and no minimum balance requirement.
Cosmos, the second largest blockchain ecosystem, is another popular blockchain for staking tokens. Investors can also stake their tokens through various validators on numerous channels available in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Deciding which staking pool to enter depends on a number of factors, including commission rates, which are usually between 5% and 6%, and how they contribute to the ecosystem, such as creating code for the projects they validate. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) varies from channel to channel, with the APR on Cosmos Hub being 15%, while for Osmosis it is 60% and Juno offers 150% which is significantly more raised.
Besides these factors, many staking pool operators offer unique value propositions that can make them attractive to potential stakeholders. A relevant example here is Cosmos Antimatter, a new validator in the budding Cosmos ecosystem that promotes decentralization within the network of validators. The main objective is to ensure that no cartel of validators is formed while giving away 100% of their profits to the stakeholder ecosystem.
