If you participated in a Polkadot fundraiser and received your DOT indicator tokens you can claim KSM with your original Ethereum address.
This guide is out of date, for actual instruction use Polkadot nomination guide and repeat the same steps for Kusama. To get list of up-to-date addresses for nomination in Kusama visit p2p.org/kusama)
First, you need to create a Kusama account. Visit Polkadot UI, go to Settings tab and select address prefix.
In a dropdown menu select Kusama (canary) and click Save.
Go to Account tab and press Add account button
Complete all the required fields and save all information in a secure place. For future ease add in the name of the account “stash” to identify it easily in the future or add a tag after creation. You will be able to download and store your encrypted keystore locally.
Press Save and backup your account
For secure staking you will need to have at least two accounts:
Stash - the primary account that holds the funds. The funds can be kept in a cold wallet and all bonded KSM are locked. After unbonding, users must wait for a time before they can access the locked funds.
Controller - a separate account to control and perform commands for stash account, like changing nominations, starting or stopping nominating and so on. It needs to have sufficient funds in KSM to send transactions when actions are taken.
Now you have created one account that initially will perform both functions. It will appear in your Accounts tab. After enablement of transactions, it is recommended to create a separate account, send 1 KSM to it and use it as a controller.
Claim your KSM
After account registration you need to claim your KSM. Go to the claim app on Polkadot UI, select your account and press Continue.
To connect Kusama address with Ethereum fundraiser address you will need to sign the message with the ETH address that has DOT indicator tokens and paste the transaction signature in the empty box below.
To sign a transaction you can use MyCrypto (MC) or MyEtherWallet (MEW). For increased security, you can run one of the preferred applications on your local computer. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version for your operating system.
In MC go to Sign & Verify Message, in MEW go to Message tab. Copy text from the dotted box in the Polkadot claim app you used at the start and paste it into the empty message box in the MC or MEW and click Sign.
After that you will get an output. Copy and paste it into the empty box in the Polkadot claim app and press Confirm claim.
If you have a valid claim you will see a green box. This means that you are able to take part in staking and governance. Token transfers are prohibited at the moment.
Nominate validators
a) First you need to bond your KSM that are in the stash account.
Then choose Account actions tab at the top of the screen
Press New stake button
In the modal window choose your stash account and a controller account (in our case they are the same and their names and addresses will match). Put the number of KSM you are willing to bond.
This amount should be less than the total amount in your stash to pay fees or set a separate controller account for your stash account in future.
b) After your KSM are bonded you will be able to nominate up to 16 validators. Bonded tokens will be automatically delegated to chosen validators in a proportion that will be defined by the algorithm. If you want to delegate a specific number of tokens to a particular validator you have to select only one validator for your stash account. The number of tokens bonded in this stash account will be delegated to this validator.
Go to Staking overview tab. In the left-hand column are the initial Proof-of-Authority validators that do not accept nominations. To nominate P2P Validator find us in the right-hand column.
You can find an up-to-date list of recommended addresses on our website. Copy our addresses one by one:
After that scroll up to Account Actions tab that is above the Staking tab and you will see your bonded account.
Press the Nominate button and paste the copied address in the blank field.
Sign and submit the transaction.
Hooray, now you can officially call yourself a nominator and are fully prepared to earn rewards immediately after the launch of public network.

<p>At <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org</a> we want to build the most simple and secure staking service for our clients. Our delegators prefer to get their rewards faster and we have done it! We are improving the staking experience for all our delegators making P2P Validator a comfortable and robust partner to stake with.</p><h1 id="first-tezos-payout-40-faster"><strong>First Tezos payout 40% faster</strong></h1><p>When someone delegates XTZ to a baker, the staked amount begins to generate rewards 7 cycles (1 cycle ~ 3 days) after the cycle the delegation was made. At the end of this period stake earns a portion of the total rewards generated in each of the following cycles. These rewards get frozen for 5 cycles together with the security deposits. If a baker double-bakes or double-endorses these funds get seized from the baker as a punishment measure. In addition, the baker loses all the rewards and fees that were locked together with the security deposits.</p><p>Each baker decides their reward payout model. <strong><strong>To make the staking process easier we will pay rewards that are frozen from our own funds</strong></strong> since they are already earned. The first payout will follow after the 7th cycle. All delegators will get their rewards in advance even in cases of slashing.</p><h3 id="new-delegators"><strong>New delegators</strong></h3><p>Example - you started staking at <code>cycle 154</code>. The user will get their first reward after twelve cycles. Rewards begin accumulating after the 7th cycle. The first reward will follow at <code>cycle 166</code>. However, if you delegate to <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> you will get your first payout at <code>cycle 161</code>, which is 15 days earlier than originally expected. <strong><strong>This method decreases the wait period for the first payout by 40%.</strong></strong></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-10.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1743" height="361" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/1-10.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/1-10.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/1-10.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-10.png 1743w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="recent-delegators"><strong>Recent delegators</strong></h3><p>On October 1, 2019 our existing delegators will get their rewards that are currently frozen and will continue to receive payouts each following cycle. For example, if you delegated in <code>145 cycle</code>, you will get rewards for two cycles (<em><em>C152, C153</em></em>) with two transactions. Each payout will correspond with the reward of the cycle. After that you will get payouts each cycle, so the next reward will be distributed at <code>cycle 155</code>.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2-12.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1639" height="295" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/2-12.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/2-12.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/2-12.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2-12.png 1639w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="early-delegators"><strong>Early delegators</strong></h3><p>For our early clients who have been with us for more than twelve cycles, these changes will mean that you will receive your frozen rewards immediately. For example, if you delegated at <code>cycle 142</code> under the old payout model you would have received rewards for <code>cycle 149</code> at <code>cycle 154</code>. In our new model, at <code>cycle 154</code> you will receive five payouts for cycles <em><em>149, 150, 151, 152, 153</em></em> that correspond with the reward of the cycle. After that cycle you will continue to receive rewards each following cycle without further delays or shortfalls.

<p>Staking is always comes with some degree of risk. The delegation process in most cases is not a simple one and a possible danger lies in the need to store your tokens with a third party provider in order to improve your staking experience. The fundamental rule is: your keys - your crypto. When you hold your keys you control the risk, when you use third parties in order to simplify the delegation process you transfer the risk to them.</p><p>One of the most secure ways to become a delegator is to use cold staking from your hardware wallet even if sometimes it is less convenient. Now you can simply hold your Tezos in your Ledger and safely delegate to P2P Validator using a simple staking tool on our website.</p><p>To get started go to <a href="https://p2p.org/tezos/?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org/tezos</a> and click on “Delegate with Ledger” button.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-4.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="741" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/04/image-4.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/04/image-4.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2021/04/image-4.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2021/04/image-4.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="step-1-choose-tezos-from-the-list-of-available-networks"><strong><strong><strong>Step 1. </strong></strong>Choose Tezos from the list of available networks</strong></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-5.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1368" height="1040" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/04/image-5.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/04/image-5.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-5.png 1368w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="step-2-connect-your-ledger-device-and-navigate-to-tezos-app"><strong><strong><strong>Step 2.
