# 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 (opens new window) 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.
# Checking your delegate status in the Explorer
You can check on explorer (opens new window) that your @unikname is in the delegate list. To start forging blocks, you'll need to set up a node.
Let's now configure your UNS node.
