How to Use the ICON Validator Monitor
Monitor your ICX votes and receive alerts when you stop earning rewards
This tool is meant for individual ICX holders that stake and delegate their ICX tokens to network validators, to earn network rewards. Funded by ICON’s Contribution Proposal system, the ICON Validator Monitor is a tool that allows user to sign up to a Telegram Service and register wallet-addresses. For each of the registered wallet-addresses users will have the option to receive a weekly status overview of their votes.
How to use
First start a conversation with the ICON Validator Monitor — Telegrambot
Press the menu-icon left of the input bar to get an overview of all the options:
Add wallets you want to track by choosing /register from the option list and paste in the ICX wallet you want to register.
Choose /mywallets from the menu to get an overview of all you delegations of your registered wallets.
The estimated daily rewards are based on the numbers coming from the community tracker api.
Alerts
When you delegated ICX/votes to a validator, you will receive network rewards. But if the validator underperforms, it can be “jailed”. When a validator is jailed it won’t earn network rewards and neither will you, for the ICX that you delegated to it.
ICON Validator Monitor will send you an alert as soon as a validator you delegated (or bonded) ICX to, ends up in jail, so you can quickly take action.
Reports
Every saturday morning you will receive an overview of all your registered wallets and their delegations. Be sure to check any changes in the commission rates your validators use.
Both the alerts and the reports can be also received via email. To opt in for this you need to set an email address with the /setemail option from the menu.
