Create Delegated Staking Configuration

nodectl requires you to create a configuration file with the necessary parameters to properly enable delegated staking according to your preferences and requirements.

First time and future updates​

Regardless of whether this is your first time configuring your node for delegation, you must create or update the configuration file to define the specific parameters you want to use when offering your node for delegation.

If you wish to change any delegated staking parameters in the future, you must update the configuration file first before submitting a request to apply those changes to your node’s delegated staking settings.

Important

Configuring delegated staking does not automatically commit your node to accept delegations.

The process involves two steps:

1. Create or update the configuration with your desired delegation parameters.

2. Manually submit the configuration to the Metagraph to activate delegated staking.
