# Delegate Account

The delegate account of a subnet node is an account where a portion of the rewards can be allocated.

The delegate account can be [updated by the subnet node](/network/subnet-node/updating-node.md#delegate-account) or by the delegate account itself.

When the delegate account is updating, it can only update the `account_id` and not the rate by transferring the `account_id` to another `account_id`. This can be accomplished by calling the following extrinsic:

```rust
pub fn transfer_delegate_account(
    origin: OriginFor<T>,
    subnet_id: u32,
    subnet_node_id: u32,
    delegate_account_id: T::AccountId,
)
```
