Self Delegation

Validators can self-delegate RISE to themselves to earn staking rewards.

Note: Unlike delegating vRISE, delegating RISE does not grant any governance voting power.

The method for delegating RISE differs depending on whether the tokens are in a regular wallet balance or a lockup account. The module and command used will be different for each case.

---

Delegating from a Regular Balance (x/shareclass)

To delegate RISE held directly in your wallet, use the non-voting-delegate command from the x/shareclass module.

How to Delegate

Usage:

sunrised tx shareclass non-voting-delegate [validator_address] [amount] [flags]

Example:

# Get validator address
VALIDATOR_ADDRESS=$(sunrised keys show <your_validator_key> --bech val -a)

# Execute delegation
sunrised tx shareclass non-voting-delegate $VALIDATOR_ADDRESS 10000000urise \
    --from <your_validator_key> \
    --chain-id <your_chain_id> \
    --gas-prices=0.025uusdrise --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
    --gas=auto \
    -y

How to Claim Rewards

Use the claim-rewards command from the x/shareclass module to claim your accumulated staking rewards. The rewards will be sent to your wallet.

Usage:

sunrised tx shareclass claim-rewards [validator_address] [flags]

Example:

VALIDATOR_ADDRESS=$(sunrised keys show <your_validator_key> --bech val -a)

sunrised tx shareclass claim-rewards $VALIDATOR_ADDRESS \
    --from <your_validator_key> \
    --chain-id <your_chain_id> \
    --gas-prices=0.025uusdrise --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
    --gas=auto \
    -y

Delegating from a Lockup Account (x/lockup)

To delegate RISE that is part of a lockup (e.g., from an airdrop), you must use the x/lockup module.

1. Find Your Lockup Account ID

First, you need to identify the ID of the lockup account you wish to delegate from. You can list all lockup accounts owned by your key using the lockup-accounts query.

Usage:

sunrised query lockup lockup-accounts [owner] [flags]

Example:

OWNER_ADDRESS=$(sunrised keys show <your_validator_key> -a)

sunrised query lockup lockup-accounts $OWNER_ADDRESS --output json

From the output of this command, find the correct account and note its id.

2. How to Delegate

Once you have the lockup account ID, use the non-voting-delegate command from the x/lockup module.

Usage:

sunrised tx lockup non-voting-delegate [lockup_account_id] [validator_address] [amount] [flags]

Example:

LOCKUP_ID="<your_lockup_account_id>"
VALIDATOR_ADDRESS=$(sunrised keys show <your_validator_key> --bech val -a)

sunrised tx lockup non-voting-delegate $LOCKUP_ID $VALIDATOR_ADDRESS 10000000urise \
    --from <your_validator_key> \
    --chain-id <your_chain_id> \
    --gas-prices=0.025uusdrise --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
    --gas=auto \
    -y

3. How to Claim Rewards

Use the claim-rewards command from the x/lockup module.

Important: Rewards claimed from a lockup delegation are sent back to the lockup account itself, not your main wallet. The RISE portion of the rewards will be subject to the original lockup schedule.

Usage:

sunrised tx lockup claim-rewards [lockup_account_id] [flags]

Example:

LOCKUP_ID="<your_lockup_account_id>"

sunrised tx lockup claim-rewards $LOCKUP_ID \
    --from <your_validator_key> \
    --chain-id <your_chain_id> \
    --gas-prices=0.025uusdrise --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
    --gas=auto \
    -y
