- Start by heading to mondo.celo.org/delegate. This site provides an overview of the current delegates and allows you to click the “Register as a delegate” button.
- This button will take you to the Celo Mondo Github. First, create a new account or log in to your existing GitHub account.
- Once logged in, click the pencil icon to fork this repository and edit the file. On the next screen, Click the Green Fork this repository button. You've now created a copy of this repository in your personal GitHub account.
- Now that we have a fork of the repository, we'll have to edit the Delegates.json file. Before doing this, we must upload our Delegate Image to the Delegatees Logos folder. Best image format: A square image in JPG/JPEG format with a simple name that does not include a space, e.g., headshot.jpg Once your image is ready, click the Add file button to the Delegatees Logos folder (public/logos/delegatees) in your forked repository and select Upload files.
- With our image submitted, we are ready to update the Delegates.json file. Head back to the Delegates.json page in your forked repository (src/config/delegates.json) and click the Pencil on the right side to edit the Delegates.json file.
- To start the review of your Submission, create a Tweet confirming that you're interested in becoming a Celo Delegate (example) and add the link to this tweet as a Comment to the Pull request you just created. This ensures no impersonators can create delegate profiles.
- That's it! Now, you must wait for the Mondo team to review your Pull request. If they have any questions or suggestions, they will comment on your Pull request. Once accepted, your Delegate account will be visible in Mondo, and anyone can start Delegating their Celo votes to your account.
You can now upload your image from your device. Once you've selected the file and it's visible on the screen, you can confirm by clicking the green Commit changes button at the bottom.
