#Voting setup for non-smartnode users

Some users (eg, Allnodes users) don't use the smartnode and may need to set up voting using direct contract interaction. This guide contains both a minimal and a complete setup guide for such users.

#Minimal setup guide

This allows your delegate to vote for you on-chain and offchain. You'll be able to override your delegate on-chain, but not off-chain.

• Use etherscan to initialize vote power ("Connect to Web3" with node address) with a delegate https://etherscan.io/address/0xA9d27E1952f742d659143a544d3e535fFf3Eebe1#writeContract#F2
• You can find delegates at https://delegates.rocketpool.net/

#Full setup guide

Use etherscan to initialize vote power ("Connect to Web3" with node address)

• [recommended for most] Initialize voting with a different node as the delegate https://etherscan.io/address/0xA9d27E1952f742d659143a544d3e535fFf3Eebe1#writeContract#F2
  • You can find delegates at https://delegates.rocketpool.net/
  • Remember you will always be able to override your delegates
• Initialize voting with your own node as the delegate https://etherscan.io/address/0xA9d27E1952f742d659143a544d3e535fFf3Eebe1#writeContract#F1
  • Here you'll be responsible for voting every time
  • I would mostly suggest this option for folks that wish to be delegates since they do need to vote every time.
• If your node was registered after Houston:
  • You will already have your vote power initialized with your own node as the delegate
  • You can set a new delegate with https://etherscan.io/address/0xA9d27E1952f742d659143a544d3e535fFf3Eebe1#writeContract#F3

Set snapshot signalling address:

• Go to https://node.rocketpool.net/signalling-address and connect your node address
  • Put in your desired snapshot signalling address and sign the message to get the r, s, and v arguments you'll need
  • Note: your snapshot signalling address MUST NOT be your node address
• In a new tab, go to https://etherscan.io/address/0xc1062617d10Ae99E09D941b60746182A87eAB38F#writeContract#F2
  • "Connect to Web3" with node address
  • Fill in the arguments with your signalling address and the r, s, v parameters given in the previous step
