# If you have SAME Operator and Reward Address

### Propose Reward Address change with the Existing Reward Address[​](https://www.staderlabs.com/docs-v1/Ethereum/Node-operator/permissioned-node-operator/Update-reward-address/SAME-Operator-and-Reward-Address#propose-reward-address-change-with-the-existing-reward-address) <a href="#propose-reward-address-change-with-the-existing-reward-address" id="propose-reward-address-change-with-the-existing-reward-address"></a>

If your Operator and Reward addresses are the **SAME**, you can propose a Reward Address change in two simple ways: through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or by using a Smart Contract with your **Existing Reward Address.**

**Propose reward address change through CLI:**&#x20;

* Node operators can execute this command: **`~/bin/stader-permissioned-cli node set-reward-address --operator-reward-address <new reward address>`**
* Make sure to replace **`<new reward address>`** with the New Reward Address you want to use.



**Propose reward address change through Smart Contract**

1. Visit the PermissionedNodeRegistry Smart Contract at this address:
   * **Mainnet:** [https://etherscan.io/address/0xaf42d795A6D279e9DCc19DC0eE1cE3ecd4ecf5dD#writeProxyContract](https://etherscan.io/address/0xaf42d795A6D279e9DCc19DC0eE1cE3ecd4ecf5dD#writeProxyContract)
   * **Testnet:** [https://holesky.etherscan.io/address/0x146B82b471dA1fC7f8E04DD33a6aD063f212F24B#writeProxyContract](https://holesky.etherscan.io/address/0x146B82b471dA1fC7f8E04DD33a6aD063f212F24B#writeProxyContract)
2.  Connect your wallet with the Smart Contract, using your **Existing Reward Address.**

4. Enter your **Operator Address** (for node identification) and the **New Reward Address**, then click the "Write" button.



### Confirm Reward Address change using the New Reward Address[​](https://www.staderlabs.com/docs-v1/Ethereum/Node-operator/permissioned-node-operator/Update-reward-address/SAME-Operator-and-Reward-Address#confirm-reward-address-change-using-the-new-reward-address) <a href="#confirm-reward-address-change-using-the-new-reward-address" id="confirm-reward-address-change-using-the-new-reward-address"></a>

You can confirm a Reward Address change only through the Smart Contract using your **New Reward Address**

1. Visit the PermissionedNodeRegistry Smart Contract at this address:
