Symbol Delegated Harvesting with Desktop Wallet

Step-by-step instructions for activating delegated harvesting in Symbol Desktop Wallet with the harvest-xym node.

Updated Oct 7, 2026

This guide explains how to activate delegated harvesting from Symbol Desktop Wallet using the harvest-xym node.

Before you begin

Check that:

As of October 5, 2026, the latest Desktop Wallet release reviewed for this site is v1.2.0.

Use:

symbol-node.harvest-xym.com

Public node monitoring reviewed on October 5, 2026 showed the node online as Peer / API, with Age priority and a maximum delegation capacity of 200.

If harvesting has not been configured, the status is typically INACTIVE.

Choose the node from the list or enter:

symbol-node.harvest-xym.com

Select Link all keys.

Desktop Wallet creates the aggregate transaction that registers the keys required for harvesting. Review the transaction and sign it.

After confirmation, Harvesting Status should become KEYS LINKED.

After the keys are linked, select Activate.

The wallet sends a Persistent Delegation Request to the node. A transaction fee is required.

Immediately after activation, the status can show IN PROGRESS.

When the node accepts the delegation, it becomes ACTIVE.

Check:

If the status stays IN PROGRESS or FAILED for a long time, trying another node can help isolate whether the issue is account-side or node-side.

Sending a delegation request does not guarantee that a node will accept it. Also, ACTIVE does not guarantee a reward within a specific period.

Harvesting probability depends on account importance.
