STAKE WITH COLIBRI
HOW TO STAKE?
Staking and delegating for the first time
1. Visit azero.dev and click on the Accounts > Accounts section to check the existing accounts.
​
One has to have 2 accounts to start staking: One stash account and another controller account
The stash account would be used to delegate and the other for paying for the transactions.
(Kindly keep at least 1 AZERO in the controller account for the transaction fee)
2. Once the setup of stash and controller accounts are done, go to Network > Staking.
3. You will see the submenu related to Network. Click on Accounts under the Staking submenu.
4. Now click on +Nominator.
5. A pop-up window named “setup nominator 1/2” appears, ensure your stash account and controller account is selected correctly. Enter the value to be bonded and click “next”.
6. In setup nominator 2/2, under candidate accounts, search for COLIBRI, once clicked, COLIBRI VALIDATOR should appear in nominated accounts. Then click on Bond & Nominate.
7. Enter your password and authorise the transaction. Click on Sign and Submit.
You have now bonded your $AZERO and have become a nominator for COLIBRI validator.
8. You can check the same under Network > Staking > Accounts menu.
Your bonded AZERO will get nominated in the next era (1 era = 24 hours). You can check the current era on the home page. Kindly have at least 1 $AZERO in the controller account for the transaction fee.
