Evolution Of Staking
summary
Chorus One reports live on 28 networks, 13 of them Cosmos, and staking rewards total about $26.2B annually while $309B is locked across PoS networks. Liquid staking accounts for roughly 4% today with ~$13B TVL and Lido holding ~80% of that. Key specifics: Cosmos has a 21‑day unbonding, many users stake via exchanges (≈25% on Cosmos, much higher where no delegation UX exists), and liquid staking protocols pick validators by uptime, geography and on‑chain scores, sometimes adding insurance bonds.
