Argo is the easiest way for you to stake CRO on Cronos and maximize the efficiency of your staked assets through liquid staking.
You can find out more on our introduction page:
Liquid staking allows holders of tokens to stake their assets while having a derivative or liquid representation of that asset that they can use in other dApps.
You can find out more in detail here:
By using liquid staking, you gain 3 main benefits:

APY by staking with Argo will be similar to staking with a normal crypto.org validator: 10-12% APY, less 10% protocol commissions.
However, we provide the benefit of having a liquid staking token that can be used in other dApps across the Cronos ecosystem to earn even more APY.
bCRO is a liquid, tokenized representation of the staker’s staked CRO. bCRO enables stakers to gain liquidity over their staked CRO and enables the locked value of the staked CRO to be utilized across decentralized finance applications across Cronos.

Staking of CRO is an instant process. However, unstaking comes with 2 methods
Swapping bCRO for CRO on a DEX
Unstaking via Croasis
The first method is instant, but you'll be paying LP fees as well as slippage. The second method charges a small fee and takes 28 days.
Staking rewards are accrued directly into the value of bCRO, which can be observed by the increase in bCRO:CRO exchange rate.
You can read more about it here:
Argo can only mint bCRO when you stake CRO with us, and burn bCRO only when you unstake CRO. As a result, any bCRO in circulation is always backed minimally by 1 CRO, in addition to the staking rewards accrued to the contract over time.
You can read more about it here:
At the time of writing, Argo charges 3 types of fees
Fees from utilising the delayed unstaking function
Validator rewards commissions
Vault fees

Argo is currently being audited and we will release more details once everything has been confirmed.
We're constantly improving the safety of our code and are planning several other audits to reinforce our protocol's security.
