# Directive of delegator To protect its rights and avoid slashed KAI, a delegator needs to: * Perform careful due diligence on validator before delegating: because if a validator misbehaves, the delegated stake of delegators can be slashed. So, delegators should carefully select validators they think will trust. * Actively monitor their validator after having delegated: delegators should ensure that the validator they delegate has good uptime, do not double sign or get compromised and participate in the consensus process. They also monitor the commission rate that they applied. If a delegator is not satisfied with its validator, they can undelegate and delegate to another validator. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
