# Registering as a delegate
Congratulations! Now that you have:
- a cryptoaccount with some UNS
- a @unikname linked to your cryptoaccount
Now, you can register as a delegate!
Registering as a delegate
⚠️ You are about registering yourself as a uns.network delegate. ⚠️
Don't execute the following command if you are trying to create your @unikname id to integrate your application with Unikname Connect. Go to the Unikname Help Center instead.
Here is the complete process:
$ uns unik:disclose "@hello-world" -e "hello-world"
$ uns delegate:register "@hello-world"
$ uns delegate:vote "@hello-world"
Replace hello-world by your own @unikname id.
