KAPU uses DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus in order to produce / confirm blocks.
You can use your KAPU to vote or un-vote a delegate. In this short guide we’ll show you how you can vote (cast a vote towards the delegate you choose — whether it is yourself or another community member you wish to support, like projects, pools, or a friend, or to un-vote a delegate you are already voting for in case you decide you want to change the vote to someone else. Voting from your KAPU wallet can provide you with extra KAPU due to the forging rewards that are processed by delegates. Rewards are awarded to 101 top ranked active delegates.
First if you haven’t, you will need to download and install the KAPU Desktop Client from here KAPU Desktop Wallet and then import and access the wallet you want to vote from.
If you want to register a delegate yourself, you should follow this guide first: How To Register a KAPU V.2.0 Delegate
Some basic voting info :
· 1 KAPU ADDRESS CAN VOTE FOR ONLY 1 DELEGATE AT A TIME (if you wish to vote for more than 1 delegate, split you wallet in more KAPU addresses and repeat the vote process — for example, send the amount you wish to vote from the second wallet to the second wallet.
· 1 KAPU EQUALS A VOTING WEIGHT OF 1. The more ark you hold, the more weight you hold in your possession — but note that if you split the wallet your voting power splits with it. For example, if you have 1,000 KAPU your voting power is equal to 1,000 KAPU, if you split that in to 2 equal wallets each having 500 KAPU the voting power of the 1st wallet will be 500 KAPU and the 2nd one 500 KAPU.
· EACH VOTE OR UN-VOTE COSTS 1 KAPU. When you vote for a delegate it costs 1 KAPU. When you un-vote, the cost is the same 1 KAPU.
Don’t know who to vote for or support with your KAPU?
