Ensure you have at least 20,000 NULS in a single address in your wallet and that your wallet is fully synced to the blockchain If your coins are located in an exchange, you're going to need a little bit (to pay for the network transaction fee) of NULS to send at least 20,000 coins to your wallet.

- Click the "Wallet" tab at the top

- Click the icon to copy the account string that contains your collateral, and save it on your notepad for later. This will be your "AGENT_ADDRESS".
