# Delegation
## How to delegate
In order to stake with a collator, you must first find a collator.
To look up a list of available collators:
1. Navigate to the tab `Developer` > `Chainstate`
2. Query for: `parachainStaking` and select the `topCandidates()` function
1. You can see all collators by selecting the `candidatePool()` option and toggling options **off**
3. You can now select an ID to delegate to
Select an owner-id as a collator to delegate to
```bash
Do note that due to the current UI implementation on Polkadot.js staking X
amount requires the addition of 12 0s
Staking 10 → 10 000 000 000 000
```
You can correctly delegate by filling the previous form with one or more of these `ids`
The transaction can now be submitted to perform the join delegators action
## Delegating - Join delegators action
In order to join a delegator a user has to:
1. select the `parachainStaking` extrinsic
2. select the `joinDelegators` action
3. Lookup a collator address in order to find them
{% hint style="info" %}
You can verify the amount you have staked on your accounts tab
{% endhint %}
