{% hint style="info" %}
If you wish to change the Collator which you are staking with, you first need to unstake from your existing Collator.

{% hint style="info" %}
Collators can often vary in their performance. This ultimately can affect the amount of staking rewards that you earn from delegating to them. As such, Nova Wallet recommends that you monitor your Collator's performance on a semi-frequent basis.
