Staking via browser is done via Staking Dashboard. There you will be able to delegate, undelegate tokens, claim rewards and manage your delegations. Currently, staking transaction are supported on Ledger Nano S/X, Metamask and Math Wallet.

In order to choose their validators and manage their delegation, delegators have access to a range of information on the Staking Dashboard.

Delegating to A Validador

Check the validators page to see list of validators. Click on desired validator logo to direct to the Validator profile for more details.

Click on the "Delegate" button to delegate to this validator.

Enter the desired delegation amount or scroll the percentage slider in the pop-up Delegate window. Delegation must be at least 1000 ONE. Click on "Next" and confirm the signature request.

Different wallets use different ways to confirm signature request. Please check the Wallet section for details.

Once transaction is signed, Delegate window will pop-up on the staking dashboard and display the transaction status.

Delegating to Multiple Validators

Check the validators page to see list of validators. Selected the validators you want to delegate to using the checkbox as shown by the image below, then click on "Delegate":

Now, on the new window, input the total amount you want to split between the validators you selected previously. On this example, we are delegating a total amount of 4000 ONE's which will be split equality between all the validators we selected. Each one of them will receive 1000 ONE's. You can split any amount you want, as long as the minimum amount per validator is 1000 ONE's.

Click on "Next" to confirm the delegations.

Undelegating

If a delegator decides to stop delegating to a validator, he or she can choose to undelegate their tokens from the validator. After undelegation transaction is submitted, the undelegated tokens will be locked until the end of the current epoch. Note that the unlocked tokens can be used for a new delegation transaction only starting from next epoch. This means the same token can only possibly generate rewards for you starting from the epoch after next epoch.

Click the "Undelegate" button on validator profile.

Signing process same as Delegate transactions.

This transaction will display on the Pending Undelegations section on the Portfolio page.

Claiming Rewards

The earned block rewards are stored in a separate reward balance of the delegator, which can be immediately withdrawn to the delegator’s account balance. The block rewards can also be staked again to achieve the compounding effect of staking. You can only claim full rewards, not partially.

Click on Claim Rewards button.

Click on "Next" to sign the transaction.

Staking via Mobile can be done via:

1. How to Stake Harmony ($ONE)?

You can participate in Harmony’s Staking either as a delegator or a validator.

For Delegators: For those wishing to participate in staking without running a validator, delegation is the best approach to still get involved and earn block rewards. Harmony ONE holders can delegate their tokens to existing validators using our staking explorer: https://staking.harmony.one/. If the tokens are delegated to an elected validator, a portion of the block reward earned by the validator will be credited to the delegator (according to section Block Reward).The earned block rewards are stored in a separate reward balance of the delegator, which can be immediately withdrawn to the delegator’s account balance. The block rewards can also be staked again to achieve the compounding effect of staking. Your delegated tokens are also associated with slashing risks of the validator. As a delegator, you should carefully choose validators based on their historical performance metrics such as APR, uptime and commission. In case of indifference or indecisiveness, you should distribute your delegations among multiple validators in order to minimize risk.

For Validators: Validators are invited to follow this Step by Step guide, to start earning staking rewards!

2. How to Stake Harmony ($ONE)? How much can I expect to earn?

While rewards are not fixed, and depend on the performance of a validator, the total staked tokens on the network, and the efficiency of the validator to follow Harmony’s Effective Proof of Stake.

You can check the median Expected Return (from the last 30 epochs) on Harmony’s Staking dashboard. When you click on a validator on the staking dashboard you can also see the latest Expected return (from the last epoch). The percentage shown is the APY (annual percentage yield).

3. What do the Total Stake values on the Staking Dashboard mean?

When you land on Harmony’s Staking dashboard, you see the list of Validators. There is a ‘Total Stake’ value on the top center. This value represents the total stake contributed to the network by ALL the validators, irrespective of whether they are currently elected in the top 900 available slots and signing blocks. This value includes stake from ALL validators created on the network.

In the Analytics section (staking.harmony.one/analytics), you see two tabs. The tab for ‘Last Epoch’ shows the results of the last election for the top 900 slots in the network. The total stake and effective median value in this section determine the validator list and block rewards for the current epoch. The tab for ‘Next Epoch’ shows the real-time snapshot values of total stake and effective median, which means that these values will be used for election right before the next epoch starts. You may notice that the total stake value in the ‘Last Election’ and ‘Next election’ may be different. This is because if a validator who got elected in the last election is not signing enough blocks, then they may not qualify for the upcoming election before the next epoch. As a result, their stake gets discounted in the ‘Next Election’ stake calculation.

4. Why is the ‘Expected Return’ value 0 for validators?

The Expected return value will start to show real non-zero values after a validator completes one full epoch after getting elected. This is because when a validator gets elected for the first time, there is no historical data to estimate expected returns.

5. What does Lifetime reward mean?

Lifetime reward means the total cumulative ONE earned by that validator.

6. I delegated and my validator is earning, but I can’t see my reward. Why?

Check for your rewards earned in the Portfolio page of the staking dashboard.

7. I sent 1 ONE to the dashboard but it’s not showing

When you send 1 ONE, what you will get is 0.99 ONE due to transaction fee. However, the staking dashboard doesn’t support decimal places currently.

8. Is reward per validator/delegator fixed?

No, it consists of the validator’s effective stake, uptime and total stake within a shard.

9. I want to undelegate my token, how long do I have to wait?

Tokens take 1 epoch to be undelegated (so you can redelegate them to another validator). You need to wait though 7 epochs if you want the tokens back to your wallet.

10. My validator wasn’t elected, can I undelegate and stake to another validator?

Yes, you can.

11. How can I change my wallet password?

Ensure you have access to your seed phrase or private key first. For One Wallet, uninstall the extension and install it again. Launch the extension and choose the option to recover your account. Enter your seed or private key and input your new password.

12. Is there a window between epochs to delegate tokens?

There is no window between epochs, however, you can collect rewards close to the end of the current epoch, and immediately delegate, to be active and earning rewards in the next epoch.

13. What does Fee mean?

It is the amount that the validator will charge from the generated rewards for services rendered (running servers, maintenance, maintaining high uptime).

14. Unable to claim rewards, what can I do?

Please ensure you have enough to cover gas fee. Gas fee is deducted from your Available balance and not from the reward you’ve earned.

15. What’s the minimum claim amount for delegators?

1 ONE

16. What is the minimum stake amount for delegators?

100 ONEs.

17. How long does an epoch last?

It depends on the blocktime. Currently 1 epoch has 32768 blocks and with a 2s blocktime this is around 18.2 hours.

18. Are there any risks involved with Harmony Staking?

There are risks associated with Staking on Harmony.

Among those could be the following:

• Account lost: Mnemonic/Private key backup

• Firmware Problems

• Network Centralization

• Price Volatility of $ONE Coins

• Technical Debt
