What is Cosmos?
Cosmos is a decentralized network of independent, scalable, and interoperable blockchains.
Cosmos allows developers to create an Internet of Blockchains: many different blockchains that are able to communicate and transfer assets with each other in a decentralized fashion. ATOM is a staking token, which provides security for the Cosmos Hub and currently brings the ability to earn an inflationary reward. To begin earning rewards, you have to delegate ATOMs to validators. By doing so, the user delegates voting power. (ATOM holder control own tokens and delegated funds cannot be stolen by their validators). Be careful of scammers and phishers and never enter your seed phrase on suspicious websites. P2P.org Validator will never ask or store your seed phrase.

I do not have a Ledger wallet, but would like to use a mobile wallet.
If you prefer a mobile wallet, the best way to stake is to use Im token wallet. Im token wallet works very well and is simple to use. Here is a good delegation guide: https://economy.p2p.org/how-to-delegate-cosmos-atoms-with-imtoken
How does the Cosmos reward claim procedure work?
Rewards start accruing immediately after ATOM delegating. You can make a claim as soon as there is a reasonable amount to withdraw, which is up to the staker. You can make a claim right away, but it all depends on the amount of delegation. For example, for a small stake, you can earn 0.005 ATOM for a day. That’s less than the cost of the transaction. On a large stake, you can earn 100 ATOM per day. So strategy is dependent on the amount you are staking. You can use the following guide to set up a KEPLR wallet to stake your ATOM easily: https://economy.p2p.org/cosmos-staking-guide-keplr-ledger/
I would like to get a discount on the P2P validator’s fee.
We are pleased to offer a special low validator fee when delegating more than 50k ATOM. We will be glad to consider your vision of cooperation.
If I delegate Cosmos (Celestia etc.) with P2P.org by Ledger wallet, is my wallet eligible to receive future airdrops from Cosmos?
Yes, both the validator and the wallet are usually irrelevant for airdrops. However, we can't guarantee that, since it is always at the airdrop organizers' discretion.
Or: There is no specific reason why our delegators would be excluded from an airdrop. However, it is always at the discretion of the organizers of each particular airdrop. We don't influence this process.
Can I automatically receive tokens in my wallet if there is an airdrop?
There is almost always a claiming process (just be very cautious with it to avoid scams!), so the tokens usually do not get sent automatically to eligible wallets.
