You should now be in the configurator and at the section where you're prompted to enter the necessary parameters to enable delegation.

These parameters will define how your node appears to other delegated staking participants, allowing them to discover and delegate to your node based on the options you set.

Enter Delegation Parameters

1

Short name

You will need to choose a short name for your node.

  • Must be no larger than 140 characters

  • Must be no smaller than 5 characters

This name will be publicly displayed on the DAG Explorer within the Delegated Staking section and should be:

  • Concise – keep it short and simple

  • Descriptive – reflect your identity or purpose

  • Unique – avoid names that could be confused with other nodes

A clear and recognizable name will help users quickly identify and delegate to your node within the Constellation Network ecosystem.

2

Description

  • Must be no larger than 140 characters

  • Must be no smaller than 5 characters

You’ll need to provide a brief description of your node that will be publicly displayed on the DAG Explorer within the Delegated Staking section.

Keep it short and clear, highlighting your node’s strengths, unique features, or anything that sets it apart. This description is your opportunity to attract community members interested in delegated staking to delegate their $DAG to your node.

3

Commission

Decide on the commission percentage you would like to charge for allowing others to delegate to your node.

You must select a number (integer/float) value between 5 and 10. This percentage represents the portion of staking rewards your node will collect as a fee in exchange for providing delegation services. Do not include % sign.

You may use floating point values. 5, 5.1,5.2 ... 9.9, 10.

Choose a rate that aligns with your operational strategy, encourages community participation, and reflects the value your node offers.

4

Confirm Your Entered Parameters

You will be offered a chance to review your new input or changes before they are committed to the configuration file.

Enter y to confirm

Final Instructions

Your configuration will be created or updated to match your requested parameters and final instructions will appear.

Press any key and you will be returned the main menu of the configurator.

Quit Configurator

Your configuration is complete, you may issue a q to exit the configurator and return to your node's command line interface.
