You can access the form here: [Delegation Application Form](https://cardanofoundation.org/forms/delegation). We’ve simplified the form considerably, requesting only essential information such as your poolID in bech32 (_pool1…_) and your contributions to the Cardano ecosystem. The form will stay open until the first week of April 2023. For more details on the delegation strategy itself, check out [Cardano Foundation’s New Delegation Methodology: Supporting the Architects of the Future](https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-foundations-new-delegation-methodology-supporting-the-architects-of-the-future/79594). In other news, we’re excited to share that node version [1.35.6](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases/tag/1.35.6) has been released, introducing dynamic peer-to-peer (P2P) on Cardano. This update will improve the network’s performance, resilience, and decentralization, paving the way for further innovation on the Cardano blockchain. We also want to highlight the community effort to completely revamp the stake pool section on [https://developers.cardano.org](https://developers.cardano.org/). The working branch and discussion can be found here: [Revamp Stake Pool Section: new structure proposal · Issue #737 · cardano-foundation/developer-portal · GitHub](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/developer-portal/issues/737). This section offers valuable resources and information for stake pool operators, including best practices and technical guides. Check it out and contribute to the discussion! Visit the delegation application form now and apply before the deadline. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity. Thank you for being a part of the Cardano community! ---
