To learn more about how to stake your ATOM on pSTAKE and use your stkATOM on Crescent, read our comprehensive user guide below.
To get started, please ensure that you have ATOM in either the Keplr or Ledger hardware wallet. You may also need XPRT & CRE tokens in your wallet to pay any associated transaction fees.
Liquid Stake ATOM to mint stkATOM
Step 1: Navigate to the pSTAKE ATOM app.
Navigate to https://cosmos.pstake.finance/ and connect your wallet to the platform interface (switch the network if prompted). Accept the Terms & Conditions before starting.
Step 2: Stake your ATOM.
You’ll now be directed to the ATOM staking page, where the “Stake” tab will appear by default. On the page, the ATOM section displays your available ATOM balance in your Cosmos wallet address.
Enter the amount of ATOM you want to liquid-stake, click “Liquid Stake” at the bottom, then confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Step 3: Complete IBC Transactions.
Next, you’ll need to execute two separate transactions. The first transfers ATOM from Cosmos Hub to the Persistence Core-1 chain via IBC, and the second transaction liquid-stakes the transferred ATOM.
Your wallet will open and prompt you to approve both transactions, one by one.
Step 4: Mint stkATOM.
After the transactions confirm, the pSTAKE protocol will issue stkATOM into your wallet. Your current balance will be visible on the left-hand side of the page.
Congratulations – you’ve now successfully liquid-staked your ATOM on pSTAKE! Staking rewards will now be automatically compounded, generating additional yields.
Transfer stkATOM to Crescent from Persistence
Step 1: Navigate to the Crescent app.
Navigate to https://app.crescent.network/portfolio and connect your wallet to the platform interface.
Step 2: IBC Transfer your ATOM & stkATOM
Go to the Portfolio section on the top bar & click on transfer. An IBC transfer modal will pop up. Select stkATOM as the token to transfer from Persistence Core-1 to Crescent. Enter the amount to deposit & click on Deposit. Approve the transfer on your wallet and wait a few seconds for the transaction to complete. Voila, you have successfully transferred stkATOM to Crescent.
