# Update Reward Address

Node Operators can update their Reward Address by initiating the change with their Existing Reward Address and confirming it with their New Reward Address for enhanced security.

* Propose Reward Address change with the Existing Reward Address through CLI or Smart Contract
* Confirm Reward Address change using the New Reward Address through Smart Contract
