Delegation is the process of authorizing Checker Node Client to earn rewards for your Checker Node License (NFT).

As an NFT owner, you can choose which Checker Node Client to delegate to via your Portal (coming soon!). If you are running the node yourself, you can find your [burner wallet address](/checker-nodes-explained/delegation/what-is-a-burner-wallet.md) inside the Checker Node Client. It is important to verify that you are delegating to the correct wallet address, so that you are not penalized for invalid calculations or downtime. You can choose to un-delegate or re-delegate anytime through your Portal.

As a node runner, you can choose to accept or reject a delegation request inside the Checker Client. You can also choose to end a delegation at any point of time. It is important to verify that you are accepting delegation from the correct owner wallet, else you’d be earning rewards for the wrong person.
