🧾 What is a Delegator?

🙋‍♂️ What Is a Delegator?

A delegator is a QIE coin holder who chooses to stake their coins with a validator — instead of running a validator node themselves.

This allows regular users to actively participate in the network without needing to manage any server or infrastructure.

✅ What Happens When You Delegate?

By delegating your QIE coins to a validator, you:

  • 🛡️ Support network security and decentralization Your coins help strengthen and secure the QIE blockchain.

  • 💰 Earn daily staking rewards You receive a share of the validator’s rewards, based on your delegated amount (minus their commission).

  • 🗳️ Help determine validator rankings The more stake a validator has (including delegations), the more likely they are to stay active and participate in block production.

📢 Why Delegators Matter

Delegators play a critical role in the QIE ecosystem. While validators maintain the blockchain infrastructure, delegators:

  • Help secure the network

  • Influence which validators remain in the active set

  • Receive rewards for their participation

🧠 You Don’t Lose Control of Your Coins

When you delegate:

  • You still own your coins

  • You can unstake (undelegate) at any time (after a short unbonding period)

  • Your coins are never transferred to the validator — they are just locked temporarily for staking

🚀 Get Started as a Delegator

If you hold QIE and want to contribute to the network without running a node, delegating is the simplest and most effective way.
