On-Chain [DRep](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/Intersect-knowledge-base/blob/main/archive/cardano-governance-archive/governance-process/broken-reference/README.md) registration is the process that allows ADA holders to register themselves as Delegated Representatives, giving them the ability to represent themselves or others when voting on active On-Chain Governance Actions.

This step also allows ADA Holders that register as DReps to add optional [Metadata](/intersect-knowledge-base/archive/cardano-governance-archive/key-terms/metadata.md) to the registration. The suggested use for this is to add extra context useful for other ADA holders to make a decision about delegation.

{% hint style="info" %}
On-Chain DRep registration can be performed through the Cardano CLI and through the Voltaire GovTool.
