Installing the ICON app on Ledger (for Ledger users)

Download and install Ledger live: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/

Connect your Ledger device and open Ledger Live. Select “Manage” and allow it on your device.

Make sure the Ledger firmware is the latest one. Search for ICON and install it.

Install ICONex

Install the ICONex Chrome extension

Make sure the ICONEX version is 1.0.4.7 or higher by checking the lower right of the screen. Typically, you should have the correct version but if the extension hasn’t been updated yet follow these steps:

First, right-click on the ICON wallet app in the top right corner of your screen and select Manage Extensions.

Then, enable the “Developer mode” on the top right of your page.

Finally, click Update on the left side of your screen.

When this is done, the ICONEX should update, and you will be able to start staking and voting for the Icon P-Rep that you would like to see elected!

Staking

If you use a Ledger hardware wallet, click here.

If you want to use a hot wallet, proceed to the steps below.

If you already have a Keystore file or private key, click the “Load wallet” button and skip the creation process (click here).

Select “Create a Wallet”

Select “ICON (ICX)” and proceed.

Input your desired wallet name and wallet password. Make sure you create a back-up of your Keystore file, password, and private key.

Once done, select the voting tab.

Select “My Status”

Click the drop-down menu and select your wallet. Enter your password afterward.

Click the “Adjust” button.

Adjust the slider to your desired amount. If you want to stake “all” of your ICX, you need to leave at least 1 ICX for transaction purposes such as unstaking the locked tokens, claiming i-scores, and voting.

Click the “complete” button and proceed.

Congrats! You have now staked your ICX. Click here to view the steps in voting.

For Ledger users

You can connect your Ledger wallet by clicking “Connect to ledger” in the first page or by selecting “Connect to Ledger” in the voting tab.

Congrats! You have now staked your ICX. Read the steps below to be able to know how to vote.

Voting

Now that you successfully allowed staking, you can start to vote for the ICON (ICX) P-Rep you would like to see elected. Don’t forget to vote for several P-reps; it’s essential for the network decentralization!

If you would like to know what criteria you should consider before selecting an Icon P-Rep, check this article.

First, you need to select the P-Rep you would like to vote for. In this example, we will choose Stakin.

Once added, scroll to the top and click Stakin again. A slider will appear, and you will be able to adjust the percentage.

Once done, simply click on “vote”, and it should be done. If you linked your account with Ledger, you would also need to confirm your vote on your Ledger.

That is it, you have now voted for one or multiple ICON (ICX) P-Reps.🎉

Stakin is one of the P-reps! Please support us. 🙌
