# Cosmos Hub Staking: ATOM Staked, Validators and Bonded Ratio > Cosmos Hub staking: ATOM bonded and the bonded ratio, the inflation rate, ATOM unbonding, liquid-staked ATOM, active validators and the Nakamoto coefficient. Markdown copy of https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/cosmos-hub-atom-staking **Question:** How much ATOM is staked, how is voting power spread and what sets ATOM's inflation? - Kind: Dashboard in Voltfin Vantage - Topic: [Staking and restaking](https://voltfincrypto.com/topics/staking) - Chains: Cosmos - Status: Planned. The data is not published yet, so this page states no figure; each figure will open its receipt when it is. The Cosmos Hub is secured by ATOM delegated to a capped set of validators, and its staking has a feedback loop: the mint module raises inflation when less ATOM is bonded than its goal and lowers it when more is. This dashboard reads the Hub's staking, mint and slashing modules to show how much ATOM is bonded, the inflation that results, what is unbonding and how voting power is spread. Validators matter beyond block production: they vote in governance for delegators who do not vote themselves, and they can be jailed and slashed. Part of their stake can also be tokenized into liquid shares through the Hub's liquid staking module. The validators page shows voting power, commission, uptime and slashing history together, and the Nakamoto coefficient sums up how concentrated the set is. Use it to follow the bonded ratio against its goal, to see what is waiting to unbond and to check a validator's record before delegating. Every figure is read at a named block height, with the module query behind it. ## Blueprint ### Staking ATOM bonded, the ratio that drives inflation and what is unbonding. - **ATOM staked** (ATOM): Bonded ATOM at the day's last block, from the staking module's pool. - **Bonded ratio** (%): Bonded ATOM as a share of total ATOM supply at the same block. - **Inflation rate** (%): The annual inflation rate the mint module applies at the latest block. - **ATOM unbonding** (ATOM): ATOM in unbonding entries that have not yet completed their unbonding period. - **Bonded ratio and inflation** (%): The bonded ratio beside the inflation rate by day, with the goal bonded ratio marked, so the feedback between them shows. - **Liquid-staked ATOM** (ATOM): ATOM tokenized into liquid staking shares through the liquid staking module, by day, beside the Hub's cap. ### Validators The active set, voting power and each validator's record. - **Active validators** (count): Validators in the active set at the latest block, against the maximum governance allows. - **Nakamoto coefficient** (count): The fewest validators whose combined voting power exceeds a third of the total, enough to halt the chain. - **Voting power by validator** (%): Each active validator's share of voting power at the latest block, largest first. - **Validator records**: Each validator with its voting power, commission, self-bond, uptime and any jailing or slashing. Filters: Period (Last 30, 90 or 365 days). ## How it will be measured - Bonded ATOM and the bonded ratio come from the staking module's pool and the bank module's total supply at the day's last block. - Inflation is read from the mint module's current state and its parameters, including the goal bonded ratio and the inflation bounds, at the same block. - Validators, voting power, commission and self-bond come from the staking module's validator records, and uptime from the slashing module's signing info. - Liquid-staked ATOM is the total of tokenized shares recorded by the liquid staking module, compared with its caps. - Unbonding ATOM adds up every unbonding delegation entry that has not completed. ## Data it needs - `staking_networks_daily` (to build): Staked supply, staking ratio, validators and nominal rewards per proof-of-stake network per day. - Source: Staking module: pool balances, validators, delegations and unbonding entries - Source: Mint module: current inflation and its parameters, including the goal bonded ratio - Source: Bank module: total ATOM supply - Source: Slashing module: signing info, jailing and slash events per validator - Source: Liquid staking module: tokenized shares and their caps ## Questions ### How does ATOM staking work? ATOM holders delegate to validators, who run the Cosmos Hub's consensus. Delegators earn a share of newly minted ATOM and fees in proportion to their stake, after the validator's commission, and share in any slashing their validator suffers. ### How long is the ATOM unbonding period? The Hub's unbonding period, 21 days for most of its history, is a governance parameter, and the dashboard reads it from the staking module. During unbonding, ATOM earns nothing and can still be slashed for faults committed while it was bonded. Redelegating to another validator skips the wait. ### Why does ATOM inflation change? The mint module targets a share of supply bonded. When less ATOM is bonded than the goal, inflation rises toward its maximum to reward staking; when more is bonded, it falls toward its minimum. Governance sets the goal and the bounds. ### What happens if my validator is slashed or jailed? A validator that signs two conflicting blocks is slashed and removed for good; one that misses too many blocks is slashed a smaller share and jailed until it unjails. Delegators lose the same share of their stake, so the validators table shows each validator's history. ### What is the Nakamoto coefficient? The smallest number of validators whose combined voting power is more than a third of the total, enough to stop the chain from finalizing blocks. A higher number means voting power is spread more widely. ## Glossary - **Bonded ratio**: The share of all ATOM bonded to validators; the mint module steers inflation toward a goal for it. - **Jailing**: Removing a validator from the active set after a fault such as missing too many blocks; a jailed validator earns nothing until it unjails. - **Liquid staking module**: The Cosmos Hub feature that lets delegations be tokenized into transferable shares without unbonding. - **Active set**: The validators with the most stake, up to a maximum set by governance, that take part in consensus. ## Related apps - [Polkadot Staking: DOT Staked, Nominators and Nomination Pools](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/polkadot-staking-dot-nominators) - [Staking Yield and Staking Ratio by Chain](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/staking-yield-by-chain) - [Layer 1 Blockchain List: Activity, Fees and Staking](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/layer-1-blockchain-list) - [Solana Validator Count and Stake Concentration](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/solana-validator-count) - [Staking Monthly Report: ETH, SOL and Proof-of-Stake Networks](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/staking-monthly-report) - [dYdX Chain: Volume, Open Interest, Staking and Buybacks](https://voltfincrypto.com/apps/dydx-chain-volume-staking-buybacks) Build it in Voltfin Studio: https://app.voltfincrypto.com/signup?next=%2F
