How to Stake Comdex (CMDX) with Cosmostation Wallet

Comdex is one of the major projects launched in the Persistence ecosystem. Integrated into the Cosmos network, the Comdex platform further links the worlds of DeFi and CeFi. The platform is built to serve as a DeFi infrastructure layer for the multichain. With modules built on core DeFi primitives and principles, the Comdex chain facilitates the seamless building of DeFi for Cosmos. The Comdex chain enhances investors’ access to a broad range of assets that help investors diversify and generate yield on their investments.

CMDX, a coin native to the Comdex blockchain, is emitted according to the Comdex tokenomics as a reward for the liquidity providers and other parties who maintain the network, as well as to certain other stakeholders, and as airdrops. CMDX holders can benefit from possessing the asset through staking, which is readily available with several wallets and platforms. This asset promises great benefits to its holders as its underlying blockchain opens for crypto finances a gateway to a stunning $17T commodity market (this is more than China’s annual GDP) while staking CMDX secures Comdex blockchain transactions and gets rewarded with circa 40% of the annual percentage yield (APY).

In delegating CMDX, choosing a reliable and efficient validator to stake with is critical. A genesis validator for the Comdex, Everstake is a trusted contributor and stakeholder to a number of cryptocurrencies. It owes much of its success to show how to benefit from staking crypto-assets and leveraging its high-tech infrastructure and expertise for the best performance and security that ensure sustainable rewards for its delegators.

2. Handling your staked CMDX coins

Once you have completed the staking, your rewards start accumulating.

Step 1: Estimate your rewards

Basic staking details, including staking rewards already accumulated, are available right in the Comdex wallet main menu.

The estimated staking rewards are available in your validator details.

To get these details and handling options, click Delegate in the Comdex wallet main menu.

This user’s interface algorithm is a bit weird, as users do not get why they need to request delegating to see the delegation details and access its handling options.

Step 2: Handling the rewards

The Validator Details menu enables both withdrawing and instantly delegating your staking rewards.

• Click RE-INVEST to add the accumulated rewards to your delegated amount and increase your staking profits.

• CLAIM REWARD allows you to get the earned assets available in your wallet.

Step 3: Handling the delegated amount 

You can increase or decrease the delegated amount using the DELEGATE and UNDELEGATE options, respectively.

Note that the undelegated amount is subject to an unbonding period of 21 days. That is, you have to wait three weeks before the tokens you have claimed settle down as available in your wallet and you can transfer them.

Meanwhile, REDELEGATE button enables allocating the whole or part of the staked amount to another validator instantly.
