Unable to Revoke Validator Tokens

Help Needed

I am currently unable to revoke my CELO votes and begin the unstaking process.

Here are the details of the issue:

  • My CELO is currently staked in a validator group via Celo Wallet (now Othello).
  • Othello redirects me to mondo.celo.org for validator actions.
  • However, there is no option to revoke votes available on mondo.celo.org.
  • I also imported my wallet into Valora, but it does not provide an option to revoke votes either.
  • I attempted to use the Celo CLI (celocli), but encountered RPC and whitelisting issues when connecting through Forno.

I would appreciate your direct guidance or intervention to help me revoke my votes and proceed with unlocking my CELO.

on mondo you can revoke votes (also called unstaking). my favorite way is to go your account page / dashboard

and then there are 3 steps

  1. unstake – no longer voting/ staking for a particular validator but celo is still locked
  2. unlock – when unlocking celo becomes pending.
  3. withdraw – 3 days after unlocking celo can be withdrawn and used as you like

I attempted to use the Celo CLI (celocli), but encountered RPC and whitelisting issues when connecting through Forno.

rpc method is not whitelisted error is often because you didnt specify a privateKey or the --useLedger flag.
