How do I edit a validator's description?

Setting detailed descriptions for a validator is a very good idea. It helps delegators get to know who you are and why they should delegate to your validator - particularly if you include your web site details.
Make sure to provide input for every flag below. If a flag is not included in the command the field will default to empty (--moniker
defaults to the machine name) if the field has never been set or remain the same if it has been set in the past.
The <key_name> specifies which validator you are editing. If you choose to not include some of the flags below, remember that the --from flag must be included to identify the validator to update.
The --identity
can be used as to verify identity with systems like Keybase or UPort. When using Keybase, --identity
should be populated with a 16-digit string that is generated with a account. It's a cryptographically secure method of verifying your identity across multiple online networks. Alternatively, you can checkout .
Warning: Please note that some parameters such as commission-max-rate
and commission-max-change-rate
cannot be changed once your validator is up and running.
