Voting & Delegates
How Can I Vote for a Delegate?
How Can I Find and Choose a Delegate?
The best places to find delegate information are:
Is Voting a Risk for My Wallet?
No. All you can “lose” is the 1 Swipechain voting fee. All other Swipechain tokens will stay in your wallet and you have full control over them. Please do not send tokens to any of the delegates! That will not count as a vote and you might lose your tokens.
How Can I Change My Vote?
You can remove the vote registration from a delegate (unvote). Then it's best to restart the desktop client and vote for the new delegate of your choice.
Follow our unvoting guide.
Can I Vote for Multiple Delegates?
You can only vote for one delegate from one address. If you want to support multiple delegates you will have to create additional addresses and split up your Swipechain into multiple addresses.
Do I Have to Re-Vote When I Receive Additional Swipechain Tokens in My Wallet?
No. The vote weight will automatically adapt to your wallet balance for every deposit and withdrawal you make from that address.
Can I Vote from an Exchange?
No. You need to send the Swipechain to your personal Swipechain address and vote via the official Swipechain Desktop Wallet.
I just put all my Swipechain on a Ledger Nano S, do I need to re-vote?
Yes. New address means new vote.
Do I Need to Keep My Wallet Open After I Vote?
No. Once you vote it is registered on the blockchain and tied to your specific address. You can open and close the wallet as you please.
