### 💲Staking <a href="#staking" id="staking"></a>

Delegate to yourself

```bash
story validator stake --validator-pubkey $(story validator export | grep "Compressed Public Key (base64)" | awk '{print $NF}') --stake 1000000000000000000 --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
```

Delegate

```bash
story validator stake --validator-pubkey <VALIDATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_BASE64> --stake 1000000000000000000 --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
```

Delegate on behalf of other delegator

```bash
story validator stake-on-behalf --validator-pubkey <VALIDATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_BASE64> --delegator-pubkey <DELEGATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_BASE64> --stake 1000000000000000000 --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
```

Add operator

```bash
story validator add-operator --operator <OPERATOR_EVM_ADDRESS> --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
```

Unstake from yourself

```bash
story validator unstake --validator-pubkey $(story validator export | grep "Compressed Public Key (base64)" | awk '{print $NF}') --unstake 1000000000000000000 --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
