Adjust Your Own Stake

A collator can increase or decrease their stake, always within the limits of the minimum and maximum allowed stake amounts. The corresponding extrinsics for these operations are parachainStaking -> candidateStakeMore(more) and parachainStaking -> candidateStakeLess(less).

You can either execute this transaction in Polkadot JS Apps or the KILT Stakeboard, which serves as an in-house developed Frontend for all KILT staking activity. Below, we outline the steps for Polkadot JS Apps.

In the Polkadot JS Apps (wss://spiritnet.kilt.io, or wss://peregrine.kilt.io) go to Developer -> Extrinsics -> Submission.
