How to Delegate XPRT in Persistence Wallet

Persistence is a promising and rapidly developing crypto project, the goal of which is to become the liquid staking hub within the PoS space, unlocking the liquidity of staked assets via the pSTAKE application and allowing users to simultaneously earn staking and DeFi rewards, and create an ecosystem of decentralized applications that will accrue value to XPRT. 

XPRT holders can use their tokens to participate in governance, to stake them, becoming validators of the network, or delegate XPRT to other validators, receiving about 35% per annum. The staking mechanism is based on the Tendermint PBFT consensus algorithm.

This guide will show you how to delegate XPRT coins in Persistence Wallet.
