Alternative steps, delegation cheat sheet using Metamask

If your tokens are not detected by metamask, you can add the contract address to metamask by using the above contract address.

Using Ledger

If you have your tokens on a Ledger, you can use it with Metamask! You just need to have the ETH app open on your Ledger and “Contract Data” enabled in the app.

Using Mycrypto

Also, if you only have a seed phrase for your account you can use mycrypto application to get a private key, that can be imported in metamask! Head to https://download.mycrypto.com/ and download the application and use it to export a private key, you can then import that private key into metamask and you will be able to delegate your tokens.

Using your phone

Did you know that metamask has a build-in web 3 browser? Now you know!

Head to the app store of your OS [app store] and download metamask, you can sync it with your browser metamask, so you should be up an running in a couple of minutes.

The steps you need to take are similar to the ones already presented, but we’ve made some screenshots to make it as simple as possible.

Now that you’re all set up, enjoy your delegations!
