Delegate your tokens to validators on Cosmos chains to earn staking rewards using CosmJS.

Prerequisites

Setup CosmJS Libraries

Stake Tokens

import { useCosmjsProtoSigner } from "@getpara/react-sdk/cosmos";
import { SigningStargateClient, coins } from "@cosmjs/stargate";
import { MsgDelegate } from "cosmjs-types/cosmos/staking/v1beta1/tx";

const RPC_URL = "https://rpc.cosmos.directory/cosmoshub";

function StakeTokens() {
  const { protoSigner, isLoading } = useCosmjsProtoSigner();

  const address = protoSigner?.address;

  const delegateToValidator = async () => {
    if (!protoSigner || !address) return;

    const validator = "cosmosvaloper1...";

    const msgDelegate = {
      typeUrl: "/cosmos.staking.v1beta1.MsgDelegate",
      value: MsgDelegate.fromPartial({
        delegatorAddress: address,
        validatorAddress: validator,
        amount: {
          denom: "uatom",
          amount: "1000000",
        },
      }),
    };

    const fee = {
      amount: coins(5000, "uatom"),
      gas: "250000",
    };

    try {
      const client = await SigningStargateClient.connectWithSigner(RPC_URL, protoSigner);

      const result = await client.signAndBroadcast(
        address,
        [msgDelegate],
        fee,
        "Staking with Para"
      );

      console.log("Delegation successful:", result.transactionHash);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Delegation failed:", error);
    }
  };

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Delegator: {address}</p>
      <button onClick={delegateToValidator}>Stake 1 ATOM</button>
    </div>
  );
}
