cosmos validator operations

Snow-Fall can help validator teams coordinate staking operations from a multisig.

These operations are sensitive because they affect delegated funds, validator exposure, liquidity, and operational timing.

Supported operation types

### Delegate

Delegate adds stake to a validator.

Review:

  • delegator address;
  • validator address;
  • amount;
  • denom;
  • fee;
  • memo;
  • payload hash.
  • ### Undelegate

    Undelegate starts the unbonding process. Funds may be locked during the unbonding period depending on the chain.

    Review:

  • delegator address;
  • validator address;
  • amount;
  • denom;
  • unbonding implications;
  • payload hash.
  • ### Redelegate

    Redelegate moves stake from one validator to another.

    Review:

  • delegator address;
  • source validator;
  • destination validator;
  • amount;
  • denom;
  • redelegation limits or lockups;
  • payload hash.
  • ### Withdraw rewards

    Withdraw rewards claims staking rewards from a validator.

    Review:

  • delegator address;
  • validator address;
  • fee;
  • memo;
  • payload hash.
  • Operational checklist

    Before signing validator operations:

  • verify the chain;
  • verify validator addresses from a trusted source;
  • confirm the intended amount;
  • confirm whether the operation has timing or lockup consequences;
  • make sure enough signers are available;
  • keep audit logs for internal review.
  • Best practices

    Use clear transaction titles, such as:

  • Delegate 5,000 ATOM to Validator X;
  • Redelegate from Validator A to Validator B;
  • Withdraw rewards for Treasury multisig.
  • Clear titles make reviews and audit logs much easier to understand later.
