Begin by navigating to the on the BENQI Liquid Staking interface. Stake your QI tokens to start accumulating BENQI Miles, which are required for voting.
Accumulated Miles will reflect your influence in the Node Voting process, allowing you to vote for validators who will in turn receive a greater share of delegations from the BENQI Miles Pool (35% of delegations).
Once you have Miles, switch to the to participate in Node Voting. Here, you’ll see your total Miles balance and your voting power.
Choose an Avalanche validator from the available list or enter the NodeID of a specific validator you want to support. You can direct all your voting power to a single validator or split it among multiple validators based on your preference.
Allocate your Miles to the chosen validator(s).
The amount of AVAX delegated to a validator is determined by their total Miles votes from the community. Validators with more votes are more likely to receive AVAX delegations from the BENQI Liquid Staking Pool.
