Delegate

PreviousPreparationsNextReclaim delegation

Last updated 4 months ago

In this guide, you will learn how to delegate tokens to a validator using the Kima explorer.

Connect your wallet

From the left sidebar, select Validators.

Connect your wallet by clicking the Connect Keplr button on the top right corner.

Keplr will now prompt you to add the Kima network (mainnet or testnet) to your wallet's chain registry. To complete the operation, click the Approve button.

You should now see your Kima address instead of Connect Keplr in the top right corner.

View your KIMA tokens in Keplr

Keplr requires an extra step to display the KIMA network so you can view your tokens. From the extensions panel in Chrome, click on the Keplr extension and select the hamburger icon in the top left corner.

In the menu, select Settings.

On the next screen, select General.

Next, scroll down until you reach the Manage Chain Visibility button and click it.

This will open a new tab. In the search box, type kima for mainnet or kima-testnet for the testnet. and it should show the relevant network, along with your $KIMA tokens. Select it by clicking the checkbox and click Save.

You should now be able to see your $KIMA balance in your wallet.

Delegate your $KIMA

Select one of the available validators in the Kima explorer and click on the Delegate button.

Enter the amount of $KIMA that you want to delegate. Ensure that you have sufficient balance for both the delegation amount and the fees for sending the transaction to the network. To confirm the delegation, click Submit.

You will now be prompted to approve the transaction. You will see the following information (numbers are examples):

  • Method to execute: Stake

  • Amount of tokens: 10 $KIMA

  • Transaction fees: 0.05 $KIMA

Check all details, then click Approve and wait for the transaction to complete.

You should now see a success message, along with the transaction hash of the delegation.

To see further transaction details, you can click on the transaction hash, which will take you to the transaction details within the explorer.

There you can view details such as:

  • Minimum period 30 days

  • Minimum delegation >0

  • Unbonding lockup period 7 days

  • Commission fee X%

  • Estimated APY minimum guarantee + rewards

  • Exit before period ends - no commission paid

  • Add KIMA to delegation will reset the period timer

Finally you can see your delegated stake in the overview page of the explorer.

Troubleshooting and tips

Check network atatus

Ensure that the Kima network is operational and that there are no ongoing issues or outages.

Verify validator information

Double-check the validator’s details before delegating to avoid any mistakes.

Ensure sufficient funds

Make sure you have enough tokens to cover both the delegation amount and any associated network fees.
