How To Delegate Resources

Goal

Delegate resource for an account.

Before you begin

• Install the currently supported version of cleos.
• Ensure the reference system contracts from cyberway.contracts repository is deployed and used to manage system resources.
• Understand the following:
  • What is an account;
  • What is a stake;
  • What is a bandwidth in CyberWay;
  • What are CPU, NET, RAM and Storage resources.

Steps

alice delegates 100 tokens to bob. This operation is signed by the alice's active key:

$ cleos push action cyber.stake delegateuse '[alice, bob, "10.0000 CYBER"]' -p alice@active

or using specialized cleos system command delegatebw:

$ cleos system delegatebw alice bob "100.0000 CYBER"

Note
The (RAM, NET, CPU, Storage) resources are not directly delegated. Instead of resources, their total cost is delegated — number of staked tokens.
