I’m Anzus from Gem Wallet, working across BD, community, and user support.
Gem Wallet is an open-source, self-custodial mobile wallet. We support Celestia because we want TIA holders to have a straightforward way to manage and stake their assets while retaining control of their keys.
Celestia features currently available in Gem Wallet
Users can:
Store TIA in a self-custodial wallet
Send and receive TIA natively
Buy TIA through available providers
Delegate TIA to a chosen validator
Gem Wallet is available on iOS and Android, and its source code is publicly available.
I created this thread to collect Celestia-specific feedback and act as a bridge between the community and our developers. We would especially appreciate feedback about:
Validator discovery and selection
Staking, reward claiming, unstaking, and redelegation
How commission, APR, validator status, and the 21-day unstaking period are explained
Buying, sending, and receiving TIA
Celestia features or integrations the community would like to see
If you try Gem Wallet, please tell us what worked, what was confusing, and what you would like improved. I’ll monitor this thread, help where I can, and pass relevant feedback to our development team.
For support cases, never post or send your recovery phrase or private key. A public address, transaction hash, and description of the issue are normally sufficient for investigating on-chain activity.
I cross-checked Celestia’s current mainnet staking parameters. The unbonding period is now approximately 14 days—technically 14 days and 1 hour—following CIP-37.
I also checked Gem Wallet’s open-source repository, and our current Celestia configuration still shows the previous 21-day value. This appears to be an outdated display/configuration value; the actual completion of an undelegation is enforced by the Celestia network.
I’ll raise this with our developers and documentation team so the value shown in Gem Wallet and our Celestia guide can be updated.
Really appreciate the correction—this is exactly the kind of community feedback I created this thread for.
Thanks again—I checked Mintscan, and it currently shows Celestia’s network staking APR at approximately 5.23%.
The exact rate users receive can vary by validator because of commission, and the network APR itself changes over time. Gem Wallet calculates the displayed validator APR using the network rate adjusted for the selected validator’s commission.
I’ll also verify that the current value being supplied to the app matches the latest network data while our developers address the outdated unbonding duration. Appreciate you helping us cross-check these details.
Quick update: the incorrect Celestia unbonding duration has been corrected, and the fix will be included in the next Gem Wallet release.
The wallet will display Celestia’s current unbonding period of approximately 14 days and 1 hour instead of 21 days.
The update is taking a little longer than usual due to the App Store release process, but it is on the way. Thanks again for identifying the discrepancy and helping improve the staking information shown to users.
