Introduction

What is Osmosis?

Osmosis is a decentralized peer-to-peer blockchain that people can use to create liquidity and trade IBC enabled tokens. The Osmosis blockchain is made up of free, public, and open-source software.

How does OSMO staking work?

Once you stake your tokens, your OSMO immediately begins to earn rewards. OSMO staking rewards must be manually claimed and restaked. When unstaking, there is a 14 day unbonding period, after which you can withdraw your OSMO.

Methodology

• We will look at the daily staking and unstaking of OSMO.

• We will look at the total token supply of of OSMO.

• We are looking to see how OSMO has been staked over time.
