AutoStake is a feature within the Cosmos Tendermint ecosystem that allows delegators to give permission to a validator to automatically re-stake their rewards. This is done through the Keplr wallet's permission system, which enables delegators to grant specific permissions to the validator for the purpose of re-staking only. The validator does not have access to any other functions in the delegator's wallet.
To enable AutoStake, delegators need to connect their wallet to the validator and grant the necessary permissions, following a secure authorization process that may vary depending on the validator's implementation.
Once AutoStake is enabled, the validator takes care of re-staking the rewards on behalf of the delegator, eliminating the need for manual transactions and reducing the risk of human error. This automation simplifies the staking process for delegators and makes it more efficient.
