The basic requirement to become a Bitica chain validator is to have a stake amount of at least 100,000 Bitica tokens. The stake amount is the sum of staked and delegated Bitica tokens of the address. This guide walks trough the process of using MEW (MyEtherWallet.com) in the process of using Bitica network.Roadmap - Those functionalities will be built into our Studio and will not require any technical knowledge in the future.
There are two options to stake (both should be called from the address which would be the validator)
1.Send Bitica tokens to the - 0xDF35349c9208eC877C4DD098C8127123a6A81A0E on the fuse network.
2.Call the `stake` function on the - 0xDF35349c9208eC877C4DD098C8127123a6A81A0E on the fuse network.
Bitica token holders who don't want to run a node by themselves but still wish to participate in governing the network can delegate any amount to one of the validators.Delegating is done by calling the `delegate` function on the with the validator address as data (see screenshot from MEW).
Both stakers and validators can withdraw their Bitica tokens, up to the staked/delegated amount, at any time. The withdrawn amount will be deducted from the validator stake amount, and if the stake amount becomes below the minimum stake amount - the validator will be removed from the Bitica chain validators list.There are two options to withdraw:
1.Call the `withdraw` function on the with one parameter - the amount to withdraw. This call is for stakers, and will reduce the stake amount of the sender address.
2.Call the `withdraw` function on the with two parameters - validator address and amount to withdraw. This call is for both stakers (who can use their own address as the parameter) and for delegators to withdraw their delegated stake on a specific validator.
