Staking Transactions

Delegating to a Validator

You can delegate tokens to a validator using the following command:

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking delegate \
    --delegator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] --validator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] \
    --amount [AMOUNT] --passphrase

The CLI will ask for the passphrase for the delegator-addr keystore file.

--delegator-addr is the ONE address of the delegator (string)

--validator-addr is the ONE address of the validator (string)

--amount is the number of ONE tokens to delegate to the validator (float)

{% hint style="info" %} As a validator, if you want to increase your stake, you will have to delegate to yourself. For delegating to your own validator, delegator-addr and validator-addr will be the same. {% endhint %}

Undelegating from a Validator

You can un-delegate tokens from a validator using the following command:

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking undelegate \
    --delegator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] --validator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] \ 
    --amount [AMOUNT] --passphrase

The CLI will ask for the passphrase for the delegator-addr keystore file.

--delegator-addr is the ONE address of the delegator (string)

--validator-addr is the ONE address of the validator (string)

--amount is the number of ONE tokens to un-delegate (float)

{% hint style="info" %} As a validator, for un-delegating from your own validator, delegator-addr and validator-addr will be the same. {% endhint %}
