Guide - delegating tokens to the ZetaChain validator (Mainnet)
Website - Discord - Twitter - Github - Zealy

There are two ways you can delegate your tokens to one of the network validators.
Let's go through it in order and everyone will choose an option that is convenient for him.
Option #1 - Delegation via ZetaHub using MetaMask EVM wallet
Go to the ZetaHub link and go to the Stake section.
Next we need to expand the full list of validators and select the one we want or type the name we want in the search, for this example I will delegate to the Slem validator.
We click on the validator we need and a window appears where we need to specify the amount of tokens we will delegate, agree to the terms and sign the transaction.
Please note that when we withdraw a token from the validator we need to wait 21 days for the tokens to be credited back to us.
Also while ZetaHub has issues with not seeing your token balance, the solution is to wait or try different VPNs.
If your balance is displayed correctly, enter the amount we need by hand and click delegate our tokens and sign the transaction in metamask.
We see that the transaction went through and on the right we see our total balance of delegated tokens.
Option #2 - delegate on the NodeStake website using Kepler wallet
Let's start by adding the Zetachain mainnet to Kepler.
Go to https://chains.keplr.app/ and search for our network.
And click on add the network we want.
Next, we need this network to be displayed in our wallet.
Go to settings and turn it on.
You can now go to the website at this link.
The link takes us straight to the Slem validator we need.
If you want to select a different validator, you need to go into Staking and select the one you want.
I will delegate using the Slem validator as an example.
Punch in the number of tokens and press the SEND button.
And confirm the transaction in the wallet.
Afterwards, we see a confirmation window.
This guide is being updated, soon I will add information on how to withdraw rewards and how to take tokens from the validator or how to redistribute tokens to another validator.
