I did the math. If you had staked 25 $ATOM (i.e 150$) on 1-Jan-2021, you'd have 2400$ today. That's a 16x. The breakdown, and how it compares to other majors coins π§΅
Staked $ATOM qualifies you for #airdrops. And unlike most crypto airdrops, #Cosmos airdrops usually come from innovative & serious projects.
So with 25 staked $ATOM you'd not only have your
25 $ATOM worth 611$ today, but also:
> 12.5 $OSMO worth 73$ today. The snapshot was 18-Feb-2021
> 25 $JUNO worth 413$ today. The snapshot was 18-Feb-2021
> 2453 $STARS worth 318$ today. The snapshot was 11-Oct-2021.
> 100 $CRE worth 300$ today. The snapshot was 1-Jan-2022
That's only counting the major airdrops. In addition, if you had staked all of your airdrops, you'd have qualified for more airdrops or extra rewards such as $NETA, or more $STARS (by staking your free $OSMO for instance)
Now look at the performance of the top coins since 1-Jan-2021:
$BTC is up 41% from $29332.14 to $41499
$ETH is up 327% from $729.05 to $3117.68
$DOT is up 124% from $8.28 to $18.62
$ADA is up 442% from $0.17 to $0.94
Without airdrops, $ATOM is up 315% from $5.87 to $24.42. But with airdrops, it's up 16x.
There's too many bullish things coming to $ATOM this year for the coin to remain as quiet as it did recently. But it should be said that $ATOM holders have already been handsomely rewarded.
I myself will be spending more time over the next few months covering #Cosmos projects & people, as I think the whole ecosystem is criminally underrated.
I will also be updating this thread every month with the new airdrops and new price actions. Consider following me if you'd like to see it!

If you've staked $ATOM in 2022 and haven't received any #airdrops yet, here's a piece of comforting data: the average time between snapshots and claims is currently 4.5 months (134 days), so you're probably being included in snapshots now. A quick thread π§΅
For $JUNO the snapshot was 18-February-2021 and the claim was 1-October-2021 meaning 225 days later
For $OSMO the snapshot was 18-February-2021 and the claim was 15-June-2021 meaning 117 days later
@osmosiszone stakers will soon be asked to vote for a bridge provider to connect #Osmosis to #Ethereum and other EVM chains as well. Hereβs why I think @axelarcore is a top contender π§΅
1- Saying the team is qualified is an understatement
Co-founder @sergey_nog was a founding team member at Algorand and @MIT PhD. Co-founder @yorgosv_ graduated from MIT as well, and got a gold Medal at the International Math Olympiad.
The other 25-ish employees area mostly PhDs with world-class cryptographic experience.
As I'm getting deeper & deeper into the #CosmosEcosystem rabbithole, I've started to look at the people behind the projects. So here's a master thread on the prominent Cosmos builders, which I'll keep updating over time π§΅
Let's start with @jaekwon . Jae went to Cornell University. He co-founded Tendermint in 2014 and stepped down as CEO 2020. Now working on gno.land
@buchmanster was Jae's co-founder and CTO of Tendermint. Jae & Ethan created Cosmos. Today, Ethan is CEO of @informalinc . and president of @interchain_io
