Keplr Validator Dashboard Overview
Keplr Validator Dashboard (KVD) makes it easy for multichain validators to manage tasks beyond the CLI. With Cosmos SDK Authz, validators can grant rights like voting and claiming commissions to their Keplr Extension accounts and handle everything seamlessly in KVD.
Key Features
- Governance participation: Vote on proposals and share validator reviews or opinions with delegators.
- Claim commissions: Collect validator commission rewards directly through the dashboard.
- Send announcements: Post important messages to your delegators through Keplr Inbox.
Grant Voting Rights to Your Keplr Extension Account
Tip: Assign rights to your governance lead or use a shared team account.
Search your validator’s name, then pick the chain whose validator you want to link to your Keplr account.
In the Manage Permissions window, you can see which rights your account has for the selected chain and validator. Currently, both Vote and Claim permissions are not granted, so they are shown in red. Let’s click on Vote.
On the next screen, you will see a CLI command block for granting your Keplr Extension account the validator’s permissions.
Click the copy icon to copy the command, then run it from your validator’s CLI. If you are using a Ledger account, make sure to toggle on Ledger Command to update the code before running it.
Click on [Check] to see if your authz grant is successfully processed. Please allow some time for block synchronization.
After a successful Authz grant, permissions will show in green.
Note that the Authz permission expires after 1 year. You’ll need to reconnect your validator account when the permission is expired.
