Using Chorus Anthem and a Ledger hardware device…

Starting Conditions:

You must have the Celo app installed on your Ledger S or X, and be using Chrome or an equivalent browser. If you do not have any CELO stored on your Ledger device, start at Step 1. If you already have CELO stored in your Ledger wallet, proceed to Step 12.

1. Plug in your Ledger, unlock it, and navigate to the Celo App
2. Navigate to the Anthem dashboard and click Connect for Celo



3. Click Sign in to Celo Network



4. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet and approve the address
5. Copy your CELO address in the bottom left corner of the Anthem dashboard and send CELO to it using your Ledger hardware device.



6. Once there’s CELO in your anthem address, click Vote



7. Click Lock CELO



8. Click Create Account. Review the transaction details on your Ledger and approve the transaction.

12. Select Close



13. Select Vote



14. Select Bison Trails from the dropdown menu and input the amount of CELO you would like to delegate (called ‘voting’ on Celo). Click Generate My Transaction to proceed.

16. Close the pop-up window. You must wait until the next epoch to activate your votes.

    Note: if you do not activate your votes in the next epoch as outlined in the following steps, your CELO delegation will not be earning rewards. The UI will provide you with a timeline for when the next epoch will occur, so you may return to complete the next step any time after that.




17. 17. When you return in the following epoch, select Activate Votes within the Anthem Celo dashboard.



18. Select Activate Votes in the pop-up window
19. Select Sign Transaction and follow the on-screen prompts to review the transaction on your Ledger and approve the transaction.
20. Confirm that your votes are in the Active Votes state, not in the Pending Votes state, to verify this was successful.

Congratulations you’re now delegating to the Bison Trails validator!

Using the Celo CLI…

Starting Conditions:

You must have installed the Celo CLI to perform the tasks listed below. You may use a Ledger Nano or X for all transactions made using the Celo CLI. To do so, append --useLedger to the commands. You may target a specific address on the Ledger using --ledgerCustomAddresses “[n]”, where n is the index to the target address. Detailed instructions for using a Ledger are available here.

All CELO amounts should be expressed in wei (1 CELO = 1000000000000000000 wei)
