STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO STAKE $GRAV USING KEPLR WALLET WITH UBIK CAPITAL
This is a guide for users to learn step-by-step how to stake their $GRAVs using Keplr web and mobil wallet. Before explaining how to stake, let’s first look at what is Gravity Bridge and how to buy $GRAV.
1. What is Gravity Bridge and $GRAV token?
Cosmos® Gravity Bridge™ is a purpose-built, fully decentralized, trustless blockchain which bridges assets between the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems. Ethereum and EVM compatible tokens can be transferred across the Gravity Bridge to a Cosmos wallet and then onto other Cosmos wallets or DEXs (such as Osmosis or Gravity DEX). Cosmos SDK based blockchains can similarly send tokens across Gravity Bridge to the Ethereum ecosystem, making them available for transfer or potentially trading on Uniswap or other ETH DEXs.
Cosmos® Gravity Bridge™ launched with a decentralized validator set and roughly half of the tokens allocated to community DAO discretion for airdrops, future ecosystem support, and liquidity mining. It is supported by an active and healthy community of token holders and validators who will make guiding decisions like implementation of interchain staking, LM and airdrops.
(Please note that Gravity Bridge’s token $GRAV is different than Graviton Zero’s BEP20 $GRAV token)
2. How to buy $GRAV?
$GRAV token can be bought via osmosis.zone
