No thanks, just show me the instructions.1. IMPORT YOUR STASH - If you have already imported your Edgeware stash to the Polkadot UI, skip to step 2.
The current version of the Polkadot.js extension requires you to first create an account before you can import your own stash account. You may delete this account after you have imported your stash.

2. IMPORT OR CREATE YOUR CONTROLLER*
* You can use your stash as your controller, however, for security reasons, the Edgeware team recommends you create a separate controller address. If you are importing an existing controller account, repeat step 1 with your controller mnemonic.

Edgeware’s native rate of participatory rewards is determined by the staking rate of the protocol, capping out at 20% when 80% of the protocol’s tokens are staked.
An inflation model calculator can be found here.
If a validator doesn't follow protocol rules, Edgeware slashes their bonded tokens as well as the EDG delegated to them.
Bison Trails takes these risks extremely seriously and have built our infrastructure to protect our customers and minimize slashing risk.
Read more about how we minimize risk, or read our guide about the Cosmos proportional slashing proposal.
In Edgeware, only the 64 largest delegators to a validator will receive rewards. You can see the list of all delegators on Bison Trails’ validators in the Polkadot UI when searching for “Bison Trails.”
Bison Trails charges a percentage service fee on all rewards earned by tokens delegated to our validator. The service fee is paid to Bison Trails automatically by the protocol. You can then withdraw your rewards from the protocol directly.
