# Add/Update Delegating Staking Parameters

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.

## :white\_check\_mark:  Enter Delegation Parameters[​](http://localhost:3000/validate/quick-start/delegated-staking#-enter-delegation-parameters) <a href="#enter-delegation-parameters" id="enter-delegation-parameters"></a>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **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.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **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.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **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.  <mark style="color:purple;">`5`</mark><mark style="color:purple;">,</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">`5.1`</mark><mark style="color:purple;">,</mark><mark style="color:purple;">`5.2`</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">...</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">`9.9`</mark><mark style="color:purple;">,</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">`10`</mark>.

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

{% step %}

### **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 <kbd>y</kbd> to confirm

## :checkered\_flag: **Final Instructions**[**​**](http://localhost:3000/validate/quick-start/delegated-staking#-final-instructions)

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

<kbd>Press any key</kbd> and you will be returned the main menu of the configurator.

## :x: **Quit Configurator**[**​**](http://localhost:3000/validate/quick-start/delegated-staking#-quit-configurator)

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

```
Q) Quit
```
