ATOM

Cswizzy

I dumped my bags and took a HUGE loss on ATOM a few years ago. Threw it all into BTC and it’s been the best trade I’ve ever done.

Probably Cosmos, the inter-blockchain ecosystem anchored by ATOM. Includes OSMO, JUNO, STRD, etc.

This is the vibe a lot of people are on right now—stacking small amounts without throwing more fiat at the market. The good news is, even in 2025, there are still a few solid (and legit) ways to earn crypto passively or with low effort. You’re right to steer clear of the grindy play-to-earn stuff or anything with heavy upfront buy-ins—most of that’s either faded or morphed into borderline scams. Here’s what’s actually working right now: 1. Staking is still the most consistent route If you’re already holding tokens like ETH, ATOM, SOL, ADA, or any of the newer proof-of-stake chains, staking is still one of the safest and easiest ways to earn yield. It’s not huge, but 4–8% annually for doing basically nothing is solid. Native staking (direct to validator, not through an exchange) gives better returns and keeps you in control of your keys. 2. Restaking and incentive programs on newer chains Protocols like EigenLayer kicked off a whole wave of “restaking” and incentive layers. Some newer chains and L2s are still offering airdrop points or bonus tokens for interacting with their ecosystem. Think things like bridging tokens, providing liquidity, or delegating to specific validators. If you’re already using the chains, you might be leaving rewards on the table. 3. Community airdrops and testnet campaigns Still a decent low-effort strategy if you keep an eye on emerging projects. Some projects reward users who participate in testnets, run nodes, or interact with pre-mainnet apps. Not massive money, but it adds up, and the barrier to entry is low. Tools like Crew3 and Galxe are often used for tracking tasks and onboarding users for future airdrops.

It'd be nice to see a bit more action on ATOM,.the sleeping giant slumbers.

GrapefruitOwn6261

I dollar-cost averaged into ATOM throughout 2022, with an average buy price around $6. Ended up selling in December 2024 at about $9. It was a long-term hold that, in hindsight, didn’t really justify the time or effort. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Express_Smile6163

ATOM maxis exist do they?

OderWieOderWatJunge

I've seen the ATOM chart today man this is so sad. For ATOM maxis it's still the deepest bear and it will probably never end. Heard a lot about it back in the day here

Cicada322

Look into pre sale coins. Mine of Pepe, SolX, BTC Bull and bitcoin hyper. Each of those is earning 100-200%. And Cosmos ATOM earns 14-20% APY in most crypto wallets.

Jevus_himself

Onchain APR is on the top right corner, VP is the percentage of the total staked ATOM that validator controls, if you scroll right you’ll see the commission each validator receives from your staking rewards for example Coinbase is at 20%, so 20% of the 16.73% you receive goes to Coinbase. Current APR is 16.73%

Jevus_himself

The APR is going to be the same, Trust wallet is probably just not showing the correct number. APR is dependent on amount of ATOM staked

Jevus_himself

Best wallet on cosmos is Keplr followed by Leap, both offer you more options then trust. ATOM that is staked and locked up for 21 days can be traded into liquid staked ATOM, you’ll be able to do this unless a massive amount of users do the same and the liquid staked amount doesn’t surpass 25% of the total staked amount (I might be remembering the percentage wrong), you can then sell the liquid staked ATOM but will lose around 3% doing this instead of waiting the 21 days

Gullible_Bluebird568

This is such a relatable goal right now—stacking sats (or ETH, or whatever your token of choice is) without constantly dipping into fiat is kind of the holy grail in a market that’s still unpredictable. While the golden era of airdrops and easy faucet farming might be behind us, there are still a bunch of legit, low-capital ways to earn crypto in 2025. You’re right to be skeptical though—there’s a ton of noise, and a lot of it either wastes your time or tries to lock you into something shady. The most consistent strategy I’ve seen lately is actually a mix of a few things—none of them huge earners on their own, but together they can grow a decent side stack over time. One option is staking, especially on L2s or newer chains that still offer reasonable returns without ridiculous lockups. If you’re already holding tokens like ETH, SOL, or ATOM, delegating them through native wallets or directly on-chain is a solid set-it-and-forget-it option. Just skip the centralized platforms—stick with non-custodial and validator-based setups where you control the keys. Another decent route is reward-based platforms. Some DeFi protocols and Layer 2s are still running incentive campaigns, especially around things like restaking, providing liquidity, or even just interacting with new features. These usually pay out in native tokens, and while the yields aren’t as crazy as in 2021, they can still be worth it if you’re using the platform anyway. You just have to stay plugged into community channels to catch the ones that aren’t heavily botted. You mentioned Brave, and yeah, it still pays out, but it’s not much. Better browser options now include newer Web3 browsers that integrate with ENS, wallet actions, and even mini airdrops for on-chain interactions. A few also partner with projects to distribute micro-rewards for testnet activity, which is a nice bonus if you're just playing around on new chains. Lastly, there are still a few “learn and earn” programs kicking around—either through exchanges or protocol-specific campaigns. They usually require watching a few short videos or reading a light explainer before doing a quiz or interacting with a testnet. It’s super low effort, and sometimes you earn tokens you can actually use or trade. Play-to-earn is mostly toast unless you already love the game. But there \*are\* games now that lean more toward "play-and-earn"—less grindy, more about owning in-game assets that can be resold. Still, that space is volatile and not ideal if you're trying to stay away from upfront costs. Bottom line: there’s no silver bullet, but you can definitely earn small, steady amounts of crypto without spending fiat—staking, DeFi rewards, educational campaigns, and occasional ecosystem incentives are still alive and kicking. It just takes a little research and a lot of patience, but if you’re consistent, it adds up

Anyone holding high staking coins like ATOM? 10-20% damn nice

sinan-aydin

for a 20 year horizon besides BTC I’d focus on coins with strong utility and adoption potential. My top 5 would be: ETH dominant smart contract platform DOT interoperability LINK oracle infrastructure ATOM cross chain future and AR permanent data storage These projects address real world needs and have strong developer ecosystems.

LeroyMFJenkin

ATOM is the superior project in every way, shape and form.

Dragon_slayer1994

Meh they don't seem overly promising projects at the moment. POL used to be promising but has done next to nothing over the past 2 years. ATOM I don't follow too closely but don't think they're really getting up to much.. DOT would be the one out of these 3 I have the most hope for. But it is crypto, which means basically anything in the mid to high cap range has decent probability of doing irrational things so they all very well could explode during the next alt season

Consistent_Many_1858

Most Alts will not make their ATH. I'm holding a few of these. ADA, ERGO, FLUX, DOT, and ATOM. I think these are dead shitcoins now.

Dragon_slayer1994

As a fellow ATOM, DOT and POL holder, I regret buying these lol. I'm too damn stubborn to sell though.

AnoAnoSaPwet

Depends on what you can afford? Generally I'd recommend users to invest in anything that's still active that "has, is working towards, or develops" smart contracts.  My favorites are ADA, ATOM, DOT, ALGO, POL.  All still relatively cheap, with the exception of ADA.  It also doesn't hurt to buy a small amount of let's say LTC/XMR/BCH (alternative Proof of Work cryptocurrencies that are still around, because you can buy whole coins right now).  You never know? I remember when Ethereum was like $8 and look at it now. 

WreckinRich

Yeah that was what drew me to it initially, not ATOM particularly (although that's doing it's thing) but the different staking options. Any apps like it that have a launchpad that isn't dead?

nails4coffee

TW offers native staking for Cosmos(ATOM)

biggest_guru_in_town

The answer is all of them depending on volatility and ever changing market conditions and your trading or staking strategy. What you want to have longterm are stablecoins like USDT,USDC,TRY,DAI and others as they can be used for staking,purchasing other coins and selling for fiat on a centralized exchange via p2p transactions(real people to trade with for your coins). USDT is widely recognized and used but is subject to some regulations. USDC has more government backing. But both are still legit. Consider stablecoins like usdt to be the final form of crypto before it turns into fiat when making a profit to spend. stablecoins can be staked as well, they hardly get devalued and are considered the safest currency to stake with but due to their low volatility(they are pegged to the us dollar) you wont make much with them. So they are like " virtual currency" to buy other virtual assets like nfts, meme tokens/coins or alt coins or even bitcoin. Bitcoin and altcoins(coins alternative to bitcoin) like Etheruem,BNB,ADA,Solana,Tron,XRP,Sui,ATOM and more are what you would use in a trading pair to get more usdt,usdc and other stablecoins or more of them to sell if you are doing liquidity mining on a decentralized exchange such as pancakeswap or uniswap or through spots, Spot Trading, Dollar Cost Average,Perpetuals and Futures on centralized exchanges like OKX,Bybit, Coinbase,Kraken and more Explaining what I mean by profiting off volatility. Basically. 500 usdt(**usd tether**, the stablecoin) will most of the time be valued at 500 usd(**fiat currency**) 1 BNB(**an example altcoin named Binance coin**) won't always be 653.45 usd as of writing this. At any time the value for 1 bnb in usd can change by dropping or rising to 500 or 700+ depending on market conditions influenced by real-world bullshit,whales, promotions, volume,trading activity, pumps,dips,bulls,bears etc. This is what we mean by volatility and this is the main way you gain more money. This is why the cryptobros are always in a Rollercoaster of emotions when bitcoin rises or falls depending on who did the best strategy (buy low when the price drops and sell high when the price increases). This main method of capitalizing on rising and falling prices can also be automated with spot bots. Bots also exist for the other trading activities. You have Perp bots,DCA bots as well. I only know Spot trading. I do not like the idea of perpetuals or futures because it's risky af and speculative.

Suspicious_Nature329

Staking like this is inflationary, so it means new users or buyers are needed for the price to sustain. The staking floor on DOT has kept rising. You could get similar results liquidity providing, where you make more but its value decreases. If you want to do something like this, I think ATOM and OSMOSIS are more interoperable and easier to use, whereas DOT feels like an island at times. I’ve explored and invested in both ecosystems, and the only reason I’m out of OSMOSIS now is Do Kwon. The reason I am out of DOT is because parachains flopped and the loop I mentioned: needs new users to hold price against staking, but not new user friendly.

Ouch, that’s tough Keep: ETH, BTC, Chainlink, ATOM, XRP, RENDER, FETCH AI, NEAR, Solana. Cut down on TAO, Sui, XCN, Filecoin, Storj, Pepe. And consolidate into stronger projects like BTC, Chainlink, EOS, and AI plays.

I made very little profit by selling XRP when it was $2,6. Im having less than 1% in crypto in the first place. I have absolutely no problem admitting I’ve made most money on RRSP with not much understanding how should I allocate them. In crypto I rather just do DCA on BTC and validate ATOM and that’s it. I do have DG Home 1 but that’s more of a hobby than real investment. Just for a fun I’m thinking buying S19J space heater for my cabin in Canada, but you guys have crazy expensive electricity which is why I don’t know how you think it’s a good idea to run rippled on anything. I need to check my Toronto hydro bill at some point just to remind me how fg expensive it is. I pay on average about 6 euro cents per kWh in Finland all costs included. But run whatever you like. I don’t.

Just BTC now. I used to hold others like SOL, AVAX, XMR, ATOM and a long time ago KSM. Now I just wanna build up as much BTC as possible for a super long-term hold. Maybe add something else once I get a decent amount of BTC built up.

There's no such thing as a "very safe coin." Also, ATOM is terrible. High yield means nothing when there's a negative Total Return.

Prestigious_One740

Also pay attention to ATOM and LINK

Grunblau

We need more people to take custody and to stop staking with centralized exchanges. Crypto.com has demonstrated a disregard for their users. Why give them your coins to trade against you? Use native wallets like Core for AVAX, SubWallet for DOT, Cosmostation for ATOM. You’ll actually get better yield and maybe even airdrops and get to vote on proposals, etc...

Sold 90% of my Cardano around $0.80-$1 Sold DOT and ATOM for pretty big losses (35%ish) around $7 each. Sold all my KAS around $0.14. Lots of other random coins I made and lost on.

Some alts have done nothing but go down, like Polygon and ATOM. The higher lows in BTC are most likely a relief before more dumping. Tariffs will likely cause a pump because it's all pretty much priced in now but I think there will be some other "chaos" that pushes BTC down to low 70s

top 100 coins have no risk of either of those things, so why isn't money going back into them? 2021's bull market for alts was actually way less than 2017 in actuality, it wasn't "crazy" at all. it was actually pretty truncated. The Chainlink, ADA, DOT, ATOM, even Ethereum crowd has yet to sniff previous cycle highs, let alone have any new highs which are expected in every bull run. Where is all the retail money?

I continue to add more ETH. The future of crypto is not winner take all, but instead more of the Internet of Blockchains concept pioneered by ATOM using IBC. This means that as crypto grows, ETH will grow as users use it for some products and services, while using other chains for other products and services. The rising tide will indeed lift all boats, at least the major infrastructure networks out there like ETH, SOL, etc.

Gullible_Amount_9679

A lot of shorts and market manipulation on Eth. I'm personally still holding ETH in my portfolio, and I expect a turnaround in the upcoming weeks. Other cryptos that are a safer and less risky bet might be ADA, AVAX, ATOM, LINK, and ONDO. Riskier bets might include Sonic (FTM), Hbar, Pyth, and Near. I wouldn't encourage you to purchase memes, many are down 50-90%. Good luck with your crypto ventures.

shoutout for mentioning XRP. Honestly, it’s one of the few older alts that’s held up relatively well over multiple cycles. It went through the 2017 bull run, the bear market, and it’s still around, building utility. It’s definitely earned its stripes. “Toshi” and “Pepe,” though... I’m a bit wary of throwing those in the same category. They’re newer, meme-driven coins, and while they might have had a good run lately, it’s way too early to say if they’ll maintain that pattern long-term. Meme coins can be fun, but they’re also super risky. And it’s important to recognize that not every asset has to have a positive historical higher highs and higher lows, some technologies might be important enough to incorporate into modern portfolio management. As for other “serious” coins with that profile? That’s a tough one. Most alts have seen significant corrections at some point, breaking that pattern. Some may argue that the Layer 1s like ETH, SOL, or ADA could be contenders, but even they’ve had their rough patches. It really depends on how far back you’re looking. Ultimately I woukd say the following might be (It really forces you to zoom out and look at the longest possible timeframe. I will say, even the “blue chip” alts have had periods where they violated that pattern. No one’s immune to market corrections!) ETH : this is the obvious one, and I initially hesitate d to include it. But if you look at ETH since its inception, it generally has trended upward, with each major cycle exceeding the previous high (even with the Merge selloff in 2022). The key word is “generally.” ETH has had periods of stagnation, but it has consistently bounced back stronger. The launch of the Ethereum ETFs could be a bullish catalyst but that is just an assumption and has to be observed to determine whether that is true. Ethereum’s success is tied to its role as the leading smart contract platform. Its long-term viability hinges on continuing to innovate and maintain its dominance in the face of growing competition. LINK:This one’s a bit more controversial. Chainlink is a dominant player in the oracle space, and it’s become essential infrastructure for DeFi. It’s faced criticism for its tokenomics and centralization, but if you look at LINK’s price history since its 2017 ICO, it has generally trended upwards, establishing higher highs each cycle (though the gains from previous cycles were mostly erased in the 2022 bear market). IT’S success is dependent on the continued growth of DeFi and the demand for reliable data feeds. Competitors are emerging, so LINK needs to maintain its lead through innovation and partnerships. AVAX is more of a mid-cap but is not to be underestimated. It has consistently demonstrated higher highs and higher lows. Since, its initial offering it has maintained a good momentum and demonstrates a healthy trend with some degree of reliability. Avalanche is known for its speed, low transaction fees, and compatibility with Ethereum assets. It aims to provide a highly scalable blockchain platform that maintains decentralization. ATOM shows consistent higher lows but doesn’t always demonstrate new higher highs which is a crucial aspect to keep in mind. Since, the launch in 2019 it has successfully demonstrated its utility and the ability to solve real world problems with its technology which is a major consideration for any crypto. Its vision is to create an “Internet of Blockchains,” a network of interconnected blockchains that can communicate and transact with each other seamlessly. Past performance is not indicative of future results. These coins have shown relative strength over the long term, but the crypto market is constantly evolving. It’s a good reminder that long-term success in crypto is rare, and sticking to projects with real utility and strong fundamentals is key.

Why we need a proof of stake ETF that pays 10-12% dividends. ALGO, AVAX, DOT, ATOM, etc…

Bitsong (BTSG), its music to your ears; if your into that kind of thing. God I love the Cosmosnetwork <3 ATOM for life yo'

I would buy: * 15000 TARS -> Buy a mining TFT = 2600 $ * 2400 $ ATOM * 2000 $ JUP * 2000 $ XRP * 2000 $ SOL * 2000 $ ETH * Rest BTC

ATOM has 15.26% APY. With earning frequency pay out every 7 days.

Optimism/$OP is quickly becoming the Cosmos/$ATOM of L2s. Everyone is using the tech, nobody is using the chain.

>But you’re flat out bragging about being indoctrinated into Bitcoin in 2011 I don't know why you're insisting on proving your stupidity. Read again what I wrote and tell me where did I even I say I held BTC in 2011? Let alone be indoctrinated... If I would've held BTC since 2011 I highly doubt I'd be here replying to you, cuz I'd be too busy counting the money. Read again, but this time use your brain too, not just your eyes. I made money on all of those (well, less so on ATOM), thank you for checking. I'll let my daughter know that idiots like you still pay for her toys.

I staked ATOM for about a year using the stock apps on my wallet. Withdrew about a month ago. Made some money. Seems fine.

I don't think you can do a lot of profit with ATOM. It's an old project which didn't develop how everybody thought. I go for ETH which is always more legit and I invest in new projects right now

Take a minute and look at the ATL‘s of the coins that you bought and then look at the ATH’s of the corn you bought and use that as a high and low to understand your position in each coin, and instead of jumping on a bandwagon, always make sure to do your own research. If you looked at ATOM before the Super Bowl it was close to an all-time low at four dollars a share at one point a time it was worth almost $40 a share. As always, make sure to do your own research.

What you said is hard to disagree with. If Osmosis wasn't growing to be independent of cosmos I would have dropped it ages ago. I don't care about swapping TIA and ATOM. The dex's that will succeed now are the ones that can capture BTC, ETH, SOL, ATOM, etc volume. Osmosis' goal is swapping any asset from any chain easy and cheap. The new Polaris app does exactly that. It may not pump OSMO but that's a whole lot more than just being a great dex in a hypeless eco.

40k? I would diversify and buy on something simple like Coinbase so you can stake it aswell. -----‐---------------------------------- 15k in BTC and HODL. 10k in ETH and stake it. 10k in USDC and stake it. 5k in ATOM and stake it.

FoxtrotThem

I'm such a degenerate, I just saw the price of ATOM and BTSG and went for it. See you on the moon, or in the dole office, peace.

Old dino alt coins and their 7 day returns. If you hold them, you should sell before things get even worse. They're not going to do better in 2028: JASMY: -33% FIL: -33% INJ: -32% FET: -30% ALGO: -29% VET: -28% ATOM: -27% AVAX: -27% These coins have lost the competition. If they were going to make it big, they would have done so by now. Don't become a bag holder.

ElPeroTonteria

Go look at ATOM... I was talking ALTs, not BTC...

ProcedureOk6974

If there's ever another decent alt run where retail/new buyers flood in there's no way it's gonna be left behind in the same way AVAX or ATOM probably will.

watch-nerd

Smart institutional money only going to to the biggest of big alt assets. It's not going into dead end projects like ALGO, ATOM, VET, etc.

When I said most people are getting scammed with token dumps like DOT 2 years ago the response was... > That’s your problem, expecting alts to return to previous ath. These coins will still appreciate massively on the next bull run ...all these coins which had dumped to kingdom come that were supposed to outperform BTC, only 1 HBAR was returned about the same as BTC (~5X) with significantly more risk and because of that Nov-Dec one time pump. The others have underperformed badly or actually have lost more money. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/14aq1a9/why_stop_dcaing_into_alts/joca4oa/ > Most of you are getting scammed with these token dump projects whose value is much lower than it was before the 2019 bullmarket or haven't made any gains since then > - CRO is down ~-50% since 2019 > - XTZ is down ~-50% since 2019 > - ALGO is down ~-50% since 2019 > - HBAR is down ~-50% since 2019 > - DOT is at 2019 price level > - ATOM is at 2019 price levels

Ugh…you and I both. Damn I cannot actually believe I didn’t sell $40 ATOM and $50 DOT 3.5 years ago…granted they lasted at those prices for maybe a day or so each, but still…

Guys what about ATOM. Am I cooked from 2022 lol.

Velvet_Samurai

LTC and ATOM are still down, not by as much, but still down.

nickjsul4

Don’t invest money you aren’t willing to lose or may need, and never try to time the market. DCA all day and only use a small portion to trade short term. A small percentage of my portfolio will go into ATOM for staking purposes. Also a long term hold.
