Delegating

On mainnet, you can delegate uscrt to a validator. These delegators can receive part of the validator's fee revenue. To learn more read about the Cosmos Token Model.
Query Validators
You can query the list of all validators of a specific chain:
secretcli q staking validators
If you want to get the information of a single validator you can check it with:
secretcli q staking validator <validator-address>
Note: _ A list of validators on the pulsar-3 Secret Network testnet can be found here._
Bond Tokensw
On the Secret Network mainnet, we delegate uscrt, where 1scrt = 1000000uscrt. Here's how you can bond tokens to a validator (i.e. delegate):
secretcli tx staking delegate \
	<validator-operator-address>
	<amount> \
	--from=<key-alias>
Example:
secretcli tx staking delegate \
	secretvaloper1l2rsakp388kuv9k8qzq6lrm9taddae7fpx59wm \
	1000uscrt \
	--from <key-alias>
<validator-operator-address> is the operator address of the validator to which you intend to delegate. If you are running a full node, you can find this with:
secretcli keys show <key-alias> --bech val
Where <key-alias> is the name of the key you specified when you initialized secretd.
While tokens are bonded, they are pooled with all the other bonded tokens in the network. Validators and delegators obtain a percentage of shares that equal their stake in this pool.
Withdraw Rewards
To withdraw the delegator rewards:
secretcli tx distribution withdraw-rewards <validator-operator-address> --from <key-alias>
Query Delegations
Once you've submitted a delegation to a validator, you can see it's information by using the following command:
secretcli q staking delegation <delegator-address> <validator-operator-address>
Example:
secretcli q staking delegation \
	secret1gghjut3ccd8ay0zduzj64hwre2fxs9ld75ru9p \
	secretvaloper1gghjut3ccd8ay0zduzj64hwre2fxs9ldmqhffj
Or if you want to check all your current delegations with distinct validators:
secretcli q staking delegations <delegator-address>
Unbond Tokens
There currently is in place a 21 days unbonding rule, during which no rewards are handed out.
If for any reason the validator misbehaves, or you just want to unbond a certain amount of tokens, use this following command:
secretcli tx staking unbond \
  <validator-address> \
  10uscrt \
  --from=<key-alias> \
  --chain-id=<chain-id>
The unbonding will be automatically completed when the unbonding period passes.
Query Unbonding-Delegations
Once you begin an unbonding-delegation, you can see it's information by using the following command:
secretcli q staking unbonding-delegation <delegator-address> <validator-operator-address>
Or if you want to check all your current unbonding-delegations with distinct validators:
secretcli q staking unbonding-delegations <delegator-address>
Additionally, you can get all the unbonding-delegations from a particular validator:
secretcli q staking unbonding-delegations-from <validator-operator-address>
Redelegate Tokens
A redelegation is a type delegation that allows you to bond illiquid tokens from one validator to another:
secretcli tx staking redelegate \
  <src-validator-operator-address> \
  <dst-validator-operator-address> \
  10uscrt \
  --from=<key-alias> \
  --chain-id=<chain-id>
Here you can also redelegate a specific shares-amount or a shares-fraction with the corresponding flags.
The redelegation will be automatically completed when the unbonding period has passed.
Query Redelegations
Once you begin an redelegation, you can see it's information by using the following command:
secretcli q staking redelegation <delegator-address> <src-valoper-address> <dst-valoper-address>
Or if you want to check all your current unbonding-delegations with distinct validators:
secretcli q staking redelegations <delegator-address>
Additionally, you can get all the outgoing redelegations from a particular validator:
  secretcli q staking redelegations-from <validator-operator-address>
Query Parameters
Parameters define high level settings for staking. You can get the current values by using:
secretcli q staking params
With the above command you will get the values for:
Unbonding time
Maximum numbers of validators
Coin denomination for staking
Example:
$ secretcli q staking params
​
{
​
"unbonding_time": "1814400000000000",
​
"max_validators": 50,
​
"max_entries": 7,
​
"historical_entries": 0,
​
"bond_denom": "uscrt"
​
}
All these values will be subject to updates though a governance process by ParameterChange proposals.
Query Pool
A staking Pool defines the dynamic parameters of the current state. You can query them with the following command:
secretcli q staking pool
With the pool command you will get the values for:
Not-bonded and bonded tokens
Token supply
Current annual inflation and the block in which the last inflation was processed
Last recorded bonded shares
Query Delegations To Validator
You can also query all of the delegations to a particular validator:
  secretcli q staking delegations-to <validator-operator-address>
Example:
$ secretcli q staking delegations-to secretvaloper1gghjut3ccd8ay0zduzj64hwre2fxs9ldmqhffj
