Evmos Staking: How to Stake Evmos

Here's how you can stake EVMOS tokens on Evmos, a leading proof of stake (PoS) blockchain enabling value transfer between Ethereum and Cosmos.

Evmos is described as a fast Ethereum-compatible blockchain, built on the Cosmos ecosystem. The blockchain allows developers to leverage its functionalities to run Ethereum smart contracts on app-specific Cosmos networks.

Let's dive in deep to figure out how users can take Evmos to earn exclusive crypto rewards, but before that, let's explore what the Evmos blockchain, in essence, is all about.

What is Evmos?

Evmos is a layer 1 blockchain built on top of the Cosmos ecosystem. On Evmos, developers can use the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) to bring Ethereum dApps to Cosmos.

On the Evmos network, users are able to stake native EVMOS tokens to earn rewards, access decentralised apps, and trade Evmos-based NFTs via Orbit, the blockchain's first NFT marketplace.
