Delegate your Ethereum Address (Wallet)

In order to vote and receive payment for your votes with your Ethereum account, you must delegate the representation of your Ethereum account to a NEAR account. Here's how.

2. Have locked your mpDAOs to obtain Voting Power at https://www.metapool.app/vote/.

3. Have at least 1000 Voting Power.

4. Create a NEAR account or connect your NEAR account. (If you don't have one yet, don't worry, we will explain how to get one very easily below).
