Earning rewards by staking your ONE tokens is easy with the help of the Harmony dashboard and its Chrome extension. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What’s a Delegator?
Harmony is currently made up of 320 seats for validators. You can earn staking rewards by delegating your ONE tokens to any one of these validators.
Note: Delegating is completely safe and the validator does not have access to your funds. It is all done via a smart contract.
When you delegate to a validator, you will start earning rewards if that validator is elected for the next staking epoch. Each epoch lasts 1.5 days.
If you want to undelegate your ONE tokens, the unbonding time is 7 epochs (10.5 days) from the last epoch the validator was elected. If you want to undelegate from a validator that has never been elected, the unbonding time is only 1 epoch (1.5 days).
How to Delegate and Stake Your ONE: Step-By-Step Instructions
First, you are going to need your chrome extension.
Click on the Chrome extension and either (1) create your Harmony wallet and write down your seed phrase or (2) recover your already-existing wallet.
Fund your wallet with the amount you plan on staking. Then go to staking.harmony.one. You will see this dasboard.
Go to Portfolio and you will be prompted by your Chrome extension to select your account.
Now you can delegate to whichever validator you choose. Delegating to a validator to earn ONE rewards is easy.
