6/ Osmosis Staking v1 is bringing a new and improved experience for all Osmosis users. With the ability to stake directly on the Osmosis front end, our vision of becoming the interchain liquidity hub is closer to becoming a reality.

5/ During launch, v1 will support OSMO staking as the initial feature. However, in v2, we will introduce support for multichain staking. This enhancement is expected to bring significant value to our users.

3/ Today, users on Cosmos have the option to stake their tokens using third-party wallet applications like @keplrwallet and @leap_cosmos . While this has facilitated the growth of staking within Cosmos, it has also introduced an extra layer of complexity for Osmosis users.

2/ Staking is the go-to method for earning rewards for most users. This is why it is essential to integrate the staking experience directly into Osmosis.

1/ Staking is a crucial value proposition and experience within the Cosmos ecosystem. Currently, users visit Osmosis to swap tokens but are limited to only providing liquidity. This represents a missed opportunity to enable a seamless experience for users.
