# Changing Validator Information

You can edit your validator’s information using the CLI with the following command:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Mainnet" %}

```bash
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking edit-validator \
    --validator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] [FIELDS TO EDIT] --passphrase
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Testnet" %}

```bash
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.b.hmny.io" staking edit-validator \
    --validator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] [FIELDS TO EDIT] --passphrase
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The CLI will prompt you to enter your BLS key file password. Only the `--validator-addr` field is required; all other fields are optional.

* `--validator-addr` is the validator ONE address that you want to edit **(string)**
* `--active` to set validator as eligible or not to be elected **(bool)**
* `--name` to change the name displayed on the Staking Explorer **(string)**
* `--identity` to change the identity field **(string)**
* `--website` to change the website field **(string)**
* `--details` to change the details field **(string)**
* `--security-contact` to change the security contact field **(string)**
* `--rate` to change the current commission rate **(float)**
* `--min-self-delegation` to change the minimum stake by the validator **(float)**
* `--max-total-delegation` to change the maximum stake that the validator can take **(float)**
* `--remove-bls-key` to remove a BLS public key associated with your validator **(string)**
* `--add-bls-key` to add another BLS public key to your validator **(string)**

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you add or remove keys from your validator (using`--add-bls-key` or `--remove-bls-key`) make sure to restart the harmony service so it accounts for the BLS keys you are using.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
`--validator-addr`is the only field that is required.

Sending the command without the arguments will leave those fields of your validator as is.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
`--max-rate` and `--max-change-rate` cannot be changed after creation.

`--min-self-delegation` must be at least 10,000 ONE.
{% endhint %}
