When there is income, click “Payout all” (it will become clickable if there is income).

Note: The income of each verification node only needs to be collected once. When anyone receives it, the income of other nominees on that node will also be automatically collected.

Nomination Rules

1. The nominator only needs to choose a reliable verification node, without considering the distribution of votes;

2. The system will automatically and optimally allocate your pledge to your nominated and selected nodes to ensure that your income is maximized;

3. If all the nodes you nominate are not selected, you will have no income. So you can select as many nodes as possible;

4. If your nominated node does evil such as unstable service, which seriously affects block production and incorrect block packaging occurs, your pledged tokens may be slashed and cause losses;
