It’s quite simple to delegate purchased Tezos coins (XTZ). The main steps for delegating Tezos remain the same for most wallets
Let us see an example of each of these steps using Atomex wallet
Go to https://wallet.atomex.me/. Select My Wallets in case you already have an account otherwise click on CREATE NEW WALLET
If you are creating a new wallet then follow the onscreen instructions.
There you go! You have your Tezos wallet.
Press Wallets, select Tezos and press Delegate.
Upon the successful completion of your transaction, you will see the success message as below
Congratulations now you are baking your XTZ!!
After you click “Delegate”, the corresponding operation is sent to the blockchain and your delegation status becomes “Pending”. You can check that everything went well in Tezos explorer.
As you can see, your delegation is not applied immediately right after delegating. You need to wait a while before it’s confirmed. There are three stages of delegation:
This stage lasts 2 cycles = ~ 6 Days
1 cycle = 8192 blocks = 4096 minutes (each block every ~30 seconds) = ~2.8 days
In this stage you’ve successfully delegated, but your rights are not transferred to the baker yet. This delay is required to prevent the network from some forms of abuse. See more details in the Tezos documentation.
This stage lasts 5 cycles = ~ 14 Days
Your delegation is confirmed and the baker received future baking rights (to produce and endorse future blocks). So, now you know that you will definitely participate in Tezos staking in the near future and therefore you can estimate future staking rewards.
Now you are completely in Tezos staking and earning rewards. As you can see, you have to wait ~20 days after delegating to start staking.
All Tezos staking rewards are credited to the baker and not to delegators directly. Moreover, every time baker receives rewards, those rewards are frozen for the next 5 cycles (~14 days), so the baker can’t spend them. Only after ~14 days rewards are unfrozen and the baker can transfer it to someone else.
That’s why you can see that Tezos staking rewards for cycle N usually comes in cycle N + 6 (after ~17 days):
Every time the balance of a delegated account is changed (e.g. you raise additional funds, or withdraw funds, or even receive reward payments) you have to wait the same time as described above (37 or 23 days) until these changes are applied.
Band Protocol staking can be done through Ledger hardware wallets. When you stake your BAND tokens with Chorus One you can earn rewards up to 11.2% per annum.
The Band Protocol is a platform to aggregate and connect real-world data to smart contracts. Band seeks to deliver trusted information to cross-chain applications via its network of validator nodes.
By delegating BAND tokens to a BandChain validator like Chorus One, you are able to earn staking rewards for indirectly participating in securing the network and responding to oracle data requests.
Band oracles are integrated into major blockchains and applications including Binance Smart Chain, ICONS, Nervos and Others.
Please note that the unstake period is 21 days. This means that you can only unstake and withdraw coins to your wallet after this time has passed. We wish you profitable staking!
You will first need to install the Cosmos application (ATOM) from the Ledger Live Directory as the Band Protocol uses Cosmos SDK.
Go to the block explorer website Cosmocan.io and click the Connect button in the upper right corner as shown in the image.
Now choose a connection method. In our case it’s Ledger — Cosmos. Ledger will verify that the site you are connecting the hardware wallet to is genuine. Leave HD Derivation Path unchanged and click Connect to Ledger
Confirm the action on the Cosmocan.io Band Protocol browser page to use the Ledger device in that browser. Copy the addresschrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features by clicking the OK button in the pop-up window.
Then enable the Experimental Web Platform Features option.
Restart your browser.
Once opened, Cosmoscan.io will ask for permission to connect to the HID device. Click Connect.
Success! The hardware wallet is successfully connected.
To get the BAND address, on the main page of the Cosmoscan.io browser, click on the profile icon in the upper right corner, copy the displayed address and send tokens to it.
After the coins arrive in the wallet, you can proceed to BAND staking.
You need to select a validator to delegate your BAND tokens. Go to the Validators tab (which you saw in the screenshot). Then select a validator from the list, or just start typing its name. We suggest voting for Chorus One — a reliable and proven validator present on over 25 networks. We have highly available infrastructure and high uptime (uninterrupted functioning time).
Click on the validator to continue.
On the page, click Delegate.
Enter the amount of tokens you want to delegate manually, or just click Max to stake the entire amount at once. Usually, you don’t need to enter a Memo, but if the validator has this parameter, then you need to enter it as well. After that click Next. <button>Next</button>
Click the Broadcast button. A notification will appear on your Ledger device. Confirm the transaction on the device.
If you have successfully staked Band tokens, you will see the following message:
Done! After the delegation, by clicking the View Details button, you can open a page with detailed information about the transaction.
A reliable way to stake and delegate your ROSE is using RockX.
Go to RockX Wallet for Oasis Network.
If you do not have an account yet, create one and fund it from either an exchange or get some ROSE tokens from someone who already holds them.
When you create a new wallet you will be shown 24-word mnemonic that you must securely store!
If you already have an account and you use Ledger then connect your Ledger and follow the instructions.
Once you are connected, select the ‘STAKING’ tab.
Find Chorus One among the list of validators and click DELEGATE in that row. The validators are sorted by their staking power. You can also see what commission they take on the staking rewards you earn, as well as how many people already delegate tokens to them.
A pop will appear showing the details of the validator. Click on Delegate to proceed. Choose the delegation amount and Gas price
Sign the transaction by selecting the ‘SIGN AND SUBMIT’ button.
Congratulations! You’re now staking your ROSE tokens, and you should see a screen that looks similar to the one below!
Centrifuge is building the operating system to connect the global financial supply chain.
Centrifuge is bridging real-world trade finance assets like company invoices into the world of decentralized finance through the Tinlake asset-backed lending protocol. Through Tinlake, users can tokenize non-liquid assets such as invoices (e.g. ConsolFreight) or streaming royalties (e.g. Paperchain) and borrow against these securitized assets.The Centrifuge Chain, which hosts the Tinlake protocol, is a Substrate-based Proof-of-Stake chain secured by a small set of validators including Chorus One. By delegating Centrifuge (CFG) tokens, stakers help maintain the network and its bridge to Ethereum, for which they earn staking rewards.
Make sure to note down your mnemonic seed in a safe place! You will lose access to your funds if you forget or lose it. It is not recommended to store them on an unsecured laptop

Injective is an open, interoperable, layer-1 blockchain built for finance applications.
It provides a powerful smart contracts platform tailored for DeFi developers to build and launch dApps for widespread use quickly. Injective uniquely provides traditional finance infrastructures, such as an order book module, on-chain, and is highly interoperable with prominent layer 1s, including Ethereum and Cosmos.
Injective is built with the Cosmos SDK and utilizes a Tendermint proof-of-stake consensus for secure transactions with instant finality.
Some of the prominent ecosystem players within Injective:
Akash is a decentralized marketplace, where cloud providers (providers) can lease their computing power to users (tenants). The Akash marketplace functions by conducting reverse auctions whereby the tenant creates orders for computing power, and providers bid on these orders. When the tenant chooses a provider, they create a lease. After this, the user deploys a Docker container on the Akash Container Platform where users are able to then run any cloud-native application and access a range of cloud management services like Kubernetes.
Please note that the unstake period is 21 days. This means that you can only unstake and withdraw coins to your wallet after this time has passed. We wish you profitable staking!
We will stake via the Injective Hub. Go to https://hub.injective.network/ and click on Connect on the top-right corner to connect with any wallet currently integrated with Injective, which currently includes MetaMask, Ledger, Cosmostation, Leap, Keplr, Torus, or Trezor wallet.

When you click the button, you are shown the list of validators.
Search for Chorus One in the search box and click on Delegate Now
A popup window will appear, and you can specify the amount of INJ you wish to stake.
Click on Delegate and you will be asked to sign a transaction, which will take place entirely on the Injective Chain. This means you no longer need to pay high gas fees!
Congratulations! You've successfully delegated your INJ tokens. You can head back to the Wallet page to view your delegations.
You claim your rewards, distributed continuously every block, on the Wallet page. When you unbond your tokens, you will stop receiving rewards, and your original INJ balance will be returned to you after the unbonding period, which is 21 days. The unbonding period can be changed via community-based governance.
If you've spent some time reading how Avalanche works, you'd know that staking on Avalanche works a bit differently. First, you need an Avalanche Wallet. Create a new one or access your existing wallet here
Make sure you're on the right URL. Don't fall prey to phishing attacks by sites that look like the official wallet
Fastest Performing and Secure DeFi Wallet | Avalanche Wallet
Once you've accessed your wallet, you need some $AVAX! If you bought your AVAX on an exchange, you'll need to transfer it to the X-chain. Copy your X-chain address and use it to withdraw your AVAX from the exchange.
You should now have some AVAX on the X-chain. But staking works with the P-chain so you need to use the "Cross Chain" feature to move your AVAX from the X to the P-chain. You will need to pay a small amount of AVAX as fees so make sure you don't transfer the entire amount.
Once your AVAX is on the P-chain, it's time to stake! Click EARN on the left-hand side of the menu.
Since you want to delegate your AVAX, click on DELEGATE and then ADD DELEGATOR. Now you want to choose the Node you're delegating to. In order to delegate to the @ChorusOne node, copy one of the following two node-ids
NodeID-4Ubqsj2vfwdGUUYNg1jtYpkYNNLugNBQ9
NodeID-LkDLSLrAW1E7Sga1zng17L1AqrtkyWTGg
Go to Search Node ID and paste it there. Click Select. You're almost there!
Sometimes you might see the message that the Node is oversubscribed. Try using the other nodeID if you see this message. In case, you see this message for all the nodes, feel free to email at support@chorus.one
Select the end date for your stake, the amount for staking and click on Confirm. That's it. Congratulations. Your AVAX will now start earning rewards and you've just made the network more secure. If this AVAX staking guide helped you, share it with a friend!
The minimum staking duration is two weeks. A delegator will receive a higher percentage of rewards if they decide to stake for longer amounts (up to a year), thus incentivizing longer stake lengths.
The Cosmos Hub keeps track of balances and routes transactions through the internet of blockchains. When you stake your ATOMs with Chorus One you can earn rewards up to 9.67% per annum.
The Cosmos Hub seeks to become the center of a network of blockchains abiding by the standards of the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC). Cosmos technologies like Tendermint and the Cosmos SDK framework are used by projects like Binance Chain, Band, Terra, Kava, Aragon, and others - securing multiple billions of dollars in value. By delegating ATOM to Cosmos Hub validators like Chorus One, stakers receive a share of inflationary token rewards, as well as fees from transactions that go through the Hub, for example for routing tokens between two IBC-compatible blockchains.
Please note that the unstake period is 21 days. This means that you can only unstake and withdraw coins to your wallet after this time has passed. We wish you profitable staking!

After some time you will see rewards getting accumulated in your account. You can simply go to the Keplr extension to claim them.
To perform the following steps we will need the Network Beta dApp and Metamask. We will cover the following steps to delegate GRT.
Step 1: Setup your GRT delegation operations
Step 2: Delegate your GRT via the Network Beta dApp
Step 3: Manage your GRT staking operations
Before you get started, please make sure to have the latest version of the Metamask Browser Extension installed and to have enough ETH in your wallet to cover transaction fees. Furthermore, ensure that Metamask is connected to “Ethereum Mainnet”.
Using the Network Beta dApp with Metamask allows you to use a hardware wallet such as a Ledger Nano device for your delegation operations and is highly encouraged as it adds another layer of security. In case you want to use a hardware device for your delegation operations, connect Metamask to your device via the Metamask Browser Extension. Make sure to have the ETH app open on your Ledger device and to have ‘Contract Data’ allowed within the ETH app on your device.
In case you want to use a Ledger device, connect it to Metamask before getting started
If you do not have an ERC-20 address yet, create one using the Metamask wallet.
Get the metamask extension
Add the extension to your browser
Create a new account.
Create a new account
Follow on-screen instructions to create the account.
To have Metamask display your GRT token, you need to add GRT to the list of displayed tokens. Open Metamask, Look for GRT in the Metamask search bar and directly add it without going through the custom token tab.
Alternatively, switch to the Custom Token tab. Input the following information, click Next and then Add Tokens.
In case you already own GRT with this address, you will now see your tokens displayed within Metamask. Otherwise, you need to fund this address properly before you can continue. Simply copy your address and withdraw/send funds to it. Once you successfully funded your account, you can find your token balance under Assets on Metamask.
Again, make sure to have enough ETH in your wallet to cover transaction fees.
Properly fund your account and make sure to have enough ETH to cover transaction fees
Now it’s time to delegate! Head over to https://network.thegraph.com/. This is the Network Beta dApp and the Graph's main Staking UI.
Click Connect Wallet and Metamask in the pop-up. Now choose the address you want to be using in the Metamask Notification window, click Next, and then Connect.
How to connect Metamask to the Network Beta dApp
You will now find your account displayed in the upper right corner of the Network Beta dApp. You can click it to see your GRT balance as well as to disconnect or switch accounts.
You can find more information about your account in the upper right corner of the UI
If you scroll down in the Network Beta dApp, you can find a list of all the available Indexers as well as some parameters relevant for your staking operations.
You can find us as: chorusone.eth
Our full Indexer address: 0xe63e935fba572784d5aa40715e372e7948bbdb12
The Fee Cut % shows the percentage of query fee rebates that an Indexer keeps for him/herself, whereas the “Reward Cut %” indicates the percentage of indexer rewards that an indexer keeps for him/herself.
To start the delegation process, click on the delegation icon on the very right of the indexer that you would like to delegate to. Then click “Delegate”.
In the overlay menu that appears, you can choose the amount of GRT you want to delegate to the respective validator. Please note that delegating incurs a fee of 0.5% on the amount you are delegating.
Click Submit Transaction to continue. Then click Confirm in the Metamask Notification window to allow the dApp to spend your GRT. Afterward, click Confirm to transmit your delegation transaction.
Parameters Cooldown refers to the amount of time that needs to pass before an Indexer can change its’ query fee or its’ indexing reward cut.
In case you are using a Ledger, you need to approve and sign the transactions on your device as well.
This might take a while. Do not reload the page.
Finalize the delegation process by confirming the transactions
And that’s it, you are now a delegator on The Graph network and help to secure the query and indexing layer of web3! Welcome aboard and thank you for delegating to our Indexer.
Please note that the network is bootstrapped and subgraphs will transition from the hosted service to mainnet in the course of the next few weeks. Hence, the amount of query fees one can earn is limited at the moment.
You can manage your delegation operations via the Network Beta dApp.
Click on your address in the upper right corner of the Network Beta dApp to find an overview of the Indexers you are delegating to. Within this menu, you can choose to undelegate or delegate more GRT to the respective delegator. Alternatively, you can also do this within the Indexer overview that you find on the main page of the Network Beta dApp.
Please note that when you unbond your GRT, they remain locked and illiquid for a period of 28 days. There is no delegator slashing implemented in The Graph and you can choose to delegate any amount of GRT.
