Delegate Registry

You can add yourself, or an organization that you represent, as a delegate within the Nova Wallet interface. You can provide additional contextual information so that token holders can make an informed decision on whether or not they should delegate their votes to you.

    Navigate to the Nova Wallet OpenGov Delegate Registry repo.

    On the next page, Select "Create Fork".

    Now you need to issue an on-chain remark so that we can verify that the Github account issueing the PR also controls the on-chain account. To do this, you should issue an extrinsic from the on-chain account which you are adding the contextual information for.
Head to the Polkadot JS Apps site and ensure you have your desired chain selected in the top left of the page. Then navigate to Developer -> Extrinsics.
Now you need to craft a system (remark) extrinsic as shown in the below screenshot. The contents of the "code: Bytes" field should be in the following format: {Github_Username}:{Pull_Request_Number}. For example: Leemo94:420.
Once the transaction is submitted, navigate to your account on block explorer (such as Subscan) and find your system (remark) extrinsic, and click on the Extrinsic ID.
Now, you should copy the URL of that extrinsic ID and post it as a comment on your Pull Request, then the Nova team will review your Pull Request and either merge it, or comment on your post with any additional feedback.
