# Change validators on a position

If you’re looking to switch to a different validator—whether for better performance, higher rewards, or to support a specific metagraph—you can do so instantly without having to unstake and wait 21 days. This feature lets you reallocate your stake in real time, ensuring your DAG remains active and continuously earning.

**1. Change validators instantly**

* Go to **"My delegations"** and find the validator you’re currently staking with.
* Click **"Change validator"** next to the active delegation under the actions column.

**3. Immediate reallocation**

* Your staked DAG is reallocated immediately, with no downtime or unbonding delay.
* Rewards continue to accumulate based on the new validator’s parameters.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.constellationnetwork.io/network-intro/dag-delegation/managing-delegated-positions/change-validators-on-a-position.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
