Open ixo on ping.pub and connect Keplr with the wallet button at the top right; your address and balances appear. Press Delegate.
Check that the address bar reads ping.pub. A lookalike site can show the same page.
The Delegate window opens with your address as the sender. Open the Validator list and pick Encapsulate (10%).
Anyone can name a validator Encapsulate. Ours is ixovaloper1p8uxq4ska2psv2k8wknljh568k5qfnwtlmt2an, at 10% commission.
With Encapsulate (10%) chosen, type how much to stake and press Send. Simulate only estimates the fee.
Leave a little IXO unstaked to pay the fees for claiming rewards and, later, for unstaking.
The Keplr extension opens. Type your password and press Unlock.
Keplr unlocks with your password only. Anything that asks for your recovery phrase here is not Keplr.
Keplr shows one message, the amount of IXO to stake to Encapsulate, with ping.pub in the memo and a fee of a fraction of a cent. Press Approve.
The message must read Stake … IXO to Encapsulate, with the amount you meant. This is the last screen before it is sent.
ping.pub shows that the delegation completed; View Transaction opens it. Close the window.
Back on the dashboard, Staking shows your stake and the table lists Encapsulate with your delegation. Rewards are paid once a day, when the chain mints, and do not compound: Withdraw Rewards sends them to your wallet, and Delegate adds more.
Unstaking takes 21 days, during which the IXO earns nothing and cannot be moved.
