How to collect reward and add a validator logo

This tutorial covers how to collect rewards for your Harmony staking and how to add a validator logo to your staking dashboard profile.

To collect rewards, you can use the CLI command “./hmy staking collect-rewards” with the delegator address and passphrase. The rewards can only be collected all at once, not partially.

To add a validator logo to your staking dashboard profile, you can either use Keybase or Github (deprecated). To use Keybase, log in to your account, create a PGP key, and use the command “./hmy staking edit-validator” with the validator address, keybase fingerprint, and passphrase. For Github, fork the “validator-logos” repo, add your logo in the “validators” folder using your Harmony address as the file name, and create a pull request for review.

Collecting Rewards

How to collect your rewards

You can collect your rewards with the following command:

Mainnet

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking collect-rewards \
--delegator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] --passphrase

Testnet

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.b.hmny.io" staking collect-rewards \
--delegator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] --passphrase

Example:

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking collect-rewards \
--delegator-addr one1km7xg8e3xjys7azp9f4xp8hkw79vm2h3f2lade --passphrase

The CLI will prompt your for the passphrase of the delegation account.

--delegator-addr is the account to collect rewards for

You can only collect ALL of your block rewards at once, not partially.

Adding A Validator Logo

Upload a custom logo to be displayed on your Staking Dashboard profile

Option 1: Using Keybase (Recommended)

On your profile, if you don’t have a PGP key set yet, just click on “Add a PGP key” to create or import an existing one.

Once you have created it just click on it like it is shown on the example below:

Once you click on it, Keybase will open a new page. Click on the link “this key”:

This will open a new page with the PGP public key finger print:

Use the following command to update your validator identity with the keybase fingerprint.

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking edit-validator --validator-addr [YOUR VALIDATOR ONE ADDRESS] --identity [YOUR KEYBASE FINGERPRINT] --passphrase

Enter the passphrase when prompted. Just wait 10 min and your Keybase profile picture will automatically be used for your validator image on the Staking Dashboard!

Option 2: Using Github (Deprecated)

This option will be deprecated and is not recommended anymore. For now, we still maintain compatibility with it, but we urge users to migrate to Option 1: Using Keybase.

Fork this github repo:GitHub – harmony-one/validator-logos: Repository to store validator logos

Add your logo by creating the logo image name using your Harmony one address as the file name and placing it inside “validators” folder. The logo image needs to be a .jpg file with 256×256 pixels or 512×512 pixels. Example: validators/one1pdv9lrdwl0rg5vglh4xtyrv3wjk3wsqket7zxy.jpg

Do not upload the .jpg file in the main repository directory. It must be inside the “validators” directory.

Create a pull request for your changes. A Harmony team member will review the image & approve it.
