🌐 What Is a Delegator on the CNHO Stables Chain?

On the CNHO Stables Chain, a delegator is a participant who contributes to the security and decentralization of the network by delegating CNHO tokens to validators. Delegators are essential to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, helping maintain the integrity and reliability of the CNHO Stables Chain.

​
🆚 Delegator vs. Validator: What’s the Difference?

​
Key Differences:

  • Responsibility: Validators operate and maintain infrastructure; delegators do not.
  • Risk: Validators can be slashed for misbehavior; delegators share in that risk if delegated to them.
  • Rewards: Both earn staking rewards; validators take a commission from delegators’ rewards.
  • Participation: Delegators can redelegate or unbond anytime; validators must stay online and follow protocol rules.

​
🧠 Why Become a Delegator?

By delegating, you:
  • Earn staking rewards in CNHO tokens
  • Support network security without technical responsibilities
  • Retain ownership and control of your tokens (delegation ≠ transfer)
  • Help govern the CNHO ecosystem by backing trusted validators

​
🛠️ How to Become a Delegator

Becoming a delegator on CNHO Stables is simple and requires just a few steps.

​
🛠️ Step 1: Hold CNHO Tokens on CNHO Stables Chain

You must have CNHO tokens in a wallet that supports the CNHO Stables Chain, such as:
  • Keplr Wallet
  • Leap Wallet
  • Or any Cosmos-compatible wallet with CNHO Stables chain integration
If your CNHO is on another blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Solana), use the CNHO deposit function to bridge funds to the CNHO Stables Chain.

​
🔍 Step 2: Choose a Validator

Navigate to the CNHO Stables Chain explorer or staking dashboard (coming soon on cnho.io) and review available validators. Key validator metrics to consider:
  • Commission rate
  • Uptime and performance
  • Community reputation
  • Governance participation

​
🔐 Step 3: Delegate Your CNHO

Using your wallet:
  1. Open the Staking/Delegate section
  2. Select a validator
  3. Enter the amount of CNHO you want to delegate
  4. Confirm and sign the transaction
✅ Your CNHO stays in your wallet — it is only bonded, not moved.

​
⏱️ Step 4: Monitor and Manage

  • You will automatically earn staking rewards
  • You can redelegate to another validator at any time
  • To unstake, initiate unbonding (usually takes 21 days)

​
🧾 Notes

  • Minimum delegation amount: 1 CNHO
  • Staking rewards frequency: Every block (~6 seconds)
  • Delegators share both rewards and risks with the validator — if a validator is slashed (penalized), you may lose a portion of your stake
