Crypto.com DeFi Desktop Wallet supports staking operations, validator selections, and governance voting. Users can also view, send and mint NFTs directly, and much more from the Desktop Wallet.
Step 1 - Download the latest Crypto.com DeFi Desktop Wallet.
Step 2 - Run the Desktop Wallet and click "Get Started".
Step 3 - Before creating or restoring your wallet, you need to create an App password to protect your desktop wallet. The password is required to be at least 8 characters, containing a letter, a number, and a special character.
Remark: It is recommended to create a stronger and unguessable password. A password labeled as "safe" and "strong" means that a person would have an extremely low probability to guess it correctly.
Step 4 - Choose between "Restore Wallet" and "Create Wallet"

Cronos POS Chain is based on Tendermint Core's consensus engine, it relies on a set of validators to participate in the proof of stake (PoS) consensus protocol who are responsible for committing new blocks in the blockchain. Token holders might stake their tokens to validators to secure the network and earn rewards. Particularly, we can:
Delegate to a validator;
Withdraw staking rewards from a validator;
Redelegate from a validator.
Undelegate from a validator.
Step 1 - To begin staking, go to the "Staking" page and direct to the second tab, "Delegate Funds." You can select your preferred validators with the delegation amount.
You can input the validator’s information either by:
Clicking the list button under "Validator address" and selecting your preferred validators.
Copying the complete address of your preferred validator, and pasting the validator’s "Operator Address" (begin with tcrocncl... for testnet) under "Validator address." Then specify the amount that you would like to delegate.
Remark: To support the decentralization of the network, we suggest all users delegate your funds to validators with fewer shares, but please make sure you've done research into the validators you selected before the delegation to minimize your risk of unnecessary fund loss.
Step 2 - Similar to sending a transaction, you can review and confirm the transaction details on the Desktop Wallet first shown below, click "Review" and enter your app password.
