| # Proxy Accounts | ||
|
|
||
| Blockchain networks often require users to maintain a delicate balance between security and participation. [Proxy accounts](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-proxies){target=\_blank} offer a practical solution to this challenge. |

[Vale.Terms] Use 'blockchain' instead of 'Blockchain'.
| With proxies, users can delegate their account's participation to a separate, "proxy" account. This proxy account can then perform a limited set of actions related to specific substrate pallets on behalf of the user's main account. The key benefit is that the user's primary account can be kept in a more secure state, while the proxy account acts as an interface with the network. | ||
| The weight and influence of the tokens held in the user's cold storage account are still leveraged through the proxy, allowing for efficient delegation without exposing the sensitive primary account. This approach helps minimize the number of transactions made by the main account further enhancing its protection. | ||
|
|
||
| While the relationship between a proxy and its proxied account may be discoverable, proxies still provide an effective way to drive attention away from the user's main account. |

[Vale.Spelling] Did you really mean 'proxied'?

| If Charly wants to leave, a new account can take their place as the any proxy of P-C, without the need to change the staking proxy account P-C. Alice is the only one who can remove P-C as the staking proxy, and P-C can only perform staking-related tasks, not send funds out of Alice's account. | ||
|
|
||
| In the example diagram, submitting the proxy call from P-C to Alice will automatically request Charly's signature, as Charly is the only any proxy of P-C, and P-C cannot sign anything on its own. |

| However, if you want to use Bob's account instead of Charly's, you would need to submit all three proxy calls individually. |
