Questions people actually ask

What is BandChain?

BandChain is the Cosmos chain that runs Band's oracle network, which delivers prices and other real world data to apps. BAND secures the chain and pays its fees.

How do I stake BAND with Atlas?

Connect Keplr on this page, or OKX Wallet on the chains it supports, then press Stake, enter an amount and approve it in your wallet. Your BAND is delegated to the Atlas validator on BandChain. A Ledger signs through Keplr. Leave a little BAND liquid for fees.

Is staking BAND with Atlas noncustodial?

Yes. Delegating tells BandChain which validator your BAND backs, and the tokens stay under your own keys. Atlas can't move or spend them. Only you can undelegate, redelegate or claim.

How long does it take to unstake BAND?

BandChain has an unbonding period of 21 days. Your BAND earns nothing during that time and can't be moved, then it returns to your wallet on its own. Governance can change the period, so check the figure in your wallet before you approve.

What does Atlas charge to stake BAND?

Atlas takes a commission from your staking rewards only, never from the BAND you stake. This page reads the current commission from the chain, and the rate it shows is what you earn after it.

Can I move BAND staked with another validator to Atlas?

Yes. Press Redelegate, pick the validator you're leaving and choose an amount. Redelegating skips the unbonding wait, so your BAND keeps earning. BandChain then stops you redelegating that same stake again until one unbonding period has passed.

How are BAND staking rewards paid?

Rewards build up as BandChain produces blocks and wait for you to claim them. Press Claim on this page whenever you like. Turn on REStake and your rewards are staked again for you, after one approval in your wallet.

What are the risks of staking BAND?

BAND can lose market value, reward rates change, and staked tokens can't be sold until unbonding ends. A validator that breaks the network's rules can be slashed, and its delegators share that loss. Rewards are never guaranteed.
