# Guide to tie your verified Discord account to your human node

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to link your Discord account to your Humanode validator wallet address. Active participation in one person - one vote polls gets you up the validator leaderboard beyond completing all 84 epochs.

**Step 1.** First and foremost, you need to be an active validator and get bio-authenticated by getting a ‘Verified Human’ role on [Humanode Discord](https://link.humanode.io/chat). Here’s how to get the ‘Verified Human’ role: [Guide to get a Verified role](https://gitbook.humanode.io/guide-to-get-a-verified-role-for-individual-use)\
\
**Step 2.** Go to [Polkadot.js.org](https://polkadot.js.org/) explorer and sign a message to get a signature. Here’s how:

I. In [Polkadot.js.org](https://polkadot.js.org/) extension, under the Developer section.  Choose `Sign and verify`.

II. Choose your mainnet validator address, replace \[username] with your Discord username and and sign the message.\
\
Note: Use the address that you are using to run the node (Sample address: `hmrpkmW4k6ZfxZEHCFBUSnhXe4ZJV7FjkFDCJAqqJCqjUFf4N`)\
\
You can get the Discord username by clicking on your profile in the bottom left of your Discord. Sample Discord username: `ilikehumanode123`&#x20;

III. After successfully signing, you’ll get the signature of the supplied data. Copy this signature. Sample signature: `0x5406c81039881052df59b3e769143dccd5c6e72212805307161bb8c60ae6d21ac36afbe047f5c3d5c1d98c5584040056cd417895a0e6b02c5e6f7b74de8f5a8d`

IV. Now, in the [#validator-address-submissions](https://discord.gg/dErevQeY) Discord channel, fill in the form. You will need your validator address and the signature we got in the last step.
