Delegate​

⚠️ Set it accordingly if your ACCOUNT_INDEX differs from the default one. The default is 0

Step 1 - Approve the stake table contract to spend your ESP:​

docker run --rm \
  -e MNEMONIC="<YOUR_12_WORD_MNEMONIC>" \
  -e ACCOUNT_INDEX=0 \
  -e L1_PROVIDER="<YOUR_ETHEREUM_MAINNET_RPC>" \
  -e ESP_TOKEN_ADDRESS=0x031De51F3E8016514Bd0963d0B2AB825A591Db9A \
  -e STAKE_TABLE_ADDRESS=0xCeF474D372B5b09dEfe2aF187bf17338Dc704451 \
  ghcr.io/espressosystems/espresso-sequencer/staking-cli:main \
  staking-cli approve \
  --amount <AMOUNT>

Step 2 - Delegate to your validator:​

docker run --rm \
  -e MNEMONIC="<YOUR_12_WORD_MNEMONIC>" \
  -e ACCOUNT_INDEX=0 \
  -e L1_PROVIDER="<YOUR_ETHEREUM_MAINNET_RPC>" \
  -e ESP_TOKEN_ADDRESS=0x031De51F3E8016514Bd0963d0B2AB825A591Db9A \
  -e STAKE_TABLE_ADDRESS=0xCeF474D372B5b09dEfe2aF187bf17338Dc704451 \
  ghcr.io/espressosystems/espresso-sequencer/staking-cli:main \
  staking-cli delegate \
  --validator-address <YOUR_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS> \
  --amount <AMOUNT>

Update commission rate:​

docker run --rm \
  -e MNEMONIC="<YOUR_MNEMONIC>" \

  -e ACCOUNT_INDEX=0 \
  -e L1_PROVIDER="<YOUR_RPC>" \
  -e ESP_TOKEN_ADDRESS=0x031De51F3E8016514Bd0963d0B2AB825A591Db9A \
