Akash is a decentralized marketplace, where cloud providers (providers) can lease their computing power to users (tenants). The Akash marketplace functions by conducting reverse auctions whereby the tenant creates orders for computing power, and providers bid on these orders. When the tenant chooses a provider, they create a lease. After this, the user deploys a Docker container on the Akash Container Platform where users are able to then run any cloud-native application and access a range of cloud management services like Kubernetes.
Please note that the unstake period is 21 days. This means that you can only unstake and withdraw coins to your wallet after this time has passed. We wish you profitable staking!

On the dashboard, you can click on Delegate Now to view validators and delegate your INJ tokens to them.
Delegate Now
When you click the button, you are shown the list of validators.
Search for Chorus One in the search box and click on Delegate Now.
A popup window will appear, and you can specify the amount of INJ you wish to stake.
Click on Delegate and you will be asked to sign a transaction, which will take place entirely on the Injective Chain. This means you no longer need to pay high gas fees!
Congratulations! You've successfully delegated your INJ tokens. You can head back to the Wallet page to view your delegations.
4. Claiming rewards and unbonding
You claim your rewards, distributed continuously every block, on the Wallet page. When you unbond your tokens, you will stop receiving rewards, and your original INJ balance will be returned to you after the unbonding period, which is 21 days. The unbonding period can be changed via community-based governance.
