Delegator Handbook

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Blockmaze Delegator Application. This application allows users to participate securely in the Blockmaze blockchain network by delegating BMZ tokens and supporting validator selection.
The application provides a clear and easy-to-use interface for onboarding as a delegator, delegating BMZ tokens and managing stakes across selected validators. This guide is designed to help both new and experienced users understand the delegation Validator and use the application with confidence.

Who Are Delegators?

In the Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) system used by the Blockmaze blockchain, delegators play a key role in maintaining decentralization, security and network stability.

As a delegator, you:

  • Delegate your BMZ tokens to trusted validators
  • Help select validators who secure and operate the network
  • Earn staking rewards, which are a share of validator earnings
  • Contribute to the long-term security and stability of the network

Why Use the Delegator Application?

The Blockmaze Delegator Application is designed to simplify staking while giving users full control over their delegation activity. Using the application, you can:

  • Stake BMZ tokens with preferred validators
  • View validator profiles, rankings, performance metrics and reward rates
  • Delegate, redelegate, or unbond stakes as needed
  • Monitor rewards and track staking activity in real time

Whether you are staking for the first time or managing multiple delegations, the application provides all the required tools without technical complexity.

Important: If your wallet does not have enough BMZ to cover both the stake amount and gas fees, the transaction will not be processed.

2. Log in to the Blockmaze Delegator Application

To access staking features:

  • Visit the Blockmaze Delegator Application link
  • You will be redirected to the login page
  • Select the mnemonic login option
  • Enter your mnemonic phrase to securely connect your wallet

Your mnemonic phrase must be kept private and secure at all times. It provides full access to your wallet and funds.

3. Dashboard Overview

After logging in, you are taken to the Dashboard. This is the main control center for all delegation-related activities. From the dashboard, you can:

  • View your BMZ token balance and account status
  • Track staking rewards in real time
  • Delegate BMZ to validators
  • Redelegate or unbond existing stakes
  • Review validator rankings and performance

All information is organized clearly to help you manage your stake and stay informed about validator performance and rewards.

What You Will See on the Dashboard

The dashboard displays key information related to your account and staking activity, including:

  • BMZ token balance
  • Staking summary, including delegated amount, earned rewards and validator relationships

If you are a first-time user and have not staked yet, the dashboard will not show any active delegations.

To begin staking:

  • Click the ˝Become a Delegator˛ button
  • View the list of active validators on the Blockmaze network
  • Select a validator and stake a minimum of 50 BMZ tokens

Once your first delegation is confirmed, your staking data will appear on the dashboard.

Header Overview

At the top of the dashboard, you can see network-level metrics that provide context for your staking performance and rewards. Displayed metrics include:

  • Market Cap: Total value of all BMZ tokens in circulation
  • Blockmaze Price: Real-time price of one BMZ token
  • Inflation Rate: Annual rate at which new BMZ tokens are issued
  • APR (Annual Percentage Rate): Estimated annual staking return
  • Total Supply: Total number of BMZ tokens minted, including staked and circulating tokens

Minimum Requirements to Become a Delegator

Before delegating, ensure the following requirements are met:

Wallet Connection:

  • A supported Blockmaze-compatible wallet must be connected

Minimum BMZ Balance:

  • At least 50 BMZ tokens for delegation
  • Additional BMZ to cover transaction (gas) fees

Your Staking Statistics

Below the network metrics, you will see a personalized summary of your staking activity:

Total Rewards:

Total Stake Amount:

  • Total BMZ, currently delegated across a

These values update in real time based on rewards earned and staking changes.

  • Click the ˝Become a Delegator˛ button
  • View the list of active validators on the Blockmaze network
  • Select a validator and stake a minimum of 50 BMZ tokens

Once your first delegation is confirmed, your staking data will appear on the dashboard.

Validator Table

The Validator Table shows all validators you have interacted with and allows you to manage your staking relationships. Each validator entry displays:

  • Validator Name
  • Validator Address
  • Bond Amount: BMZ delegated to the validator
  • Rewards Earned: BMZ earned from that validator

Available Actions

From the table, you can:

  • Bond More: Increase your stake with a validator

5. Adjusting Your Stakes

As validator performance changes or your personal staking goals evolve, the Blockmaze Delegator Application allows you to manage and modify your delegations easily.

What You Can Do with the ˝Delegate More" Button

  • Increase Your Stake: You can add more BMZ tokens to your existing delegation at any time.

8. Validator Details Page

The Validator Details page provides detailed information about a selected validator. This section helps delegators evaluate validator performance, economics and participation history before staking BMZ tokens.

Validator Information

Then a validator is selected, the platform displays a detailed profile that includes the following information:

Name: The validatorˇs display name, such as Sherlock Nodes

Status:

Shows whether the validator is:

  • Active, currently participating and earning rewards
  • Inactive, temporarily offline
  • Deactivated, no longer part of the network

Commission Rate: The current percentage fee charged by the validator on staking rewards.

Commission Max Rate: The maximum commission percentage the validator is allowed to charge.

Commission Change Rate: The rate at which the validator can change its commission over time.

Total Stake: The total amount of BMZ tokens staked with the validator, including both self-stake and delegator stake.

Self Stake: The amount of BMZ tokens staked by the validator themselves indicates their commitment to network security and performance.

Validator Since: The date on which the validator registered on the Blockmaze blockchain.

Delegators: The total number of delegators currently staking with the validator.

This information allows delegators to assess validator reliability, commitment and reward structure.

Action Button

The Validator Details page includes a Delegate button.

Delegate Button: This button allows you to stake BMZ tokens with the selected validator directly from the Validator Details page.

Using this action, delegators can proceed with staking immediately after reviewing validator information, without navigating to another screen.
