{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

#### &#xD;**MY ROLES**

This panel shows the roles you currently have added to your Keychain. To add a new role, click the Add Role button. This will launch a flow similar to the one you completed during your account setup.

{% hint style="info" %}

* You’ll need to connect your wallet and pay a small transaction fee each time you update your roles. Be sure to enable any browser extensions and top-up your ADA before you start this step.
* If you only have the Contributor Role, you can use the ‘Add role’ functionality to add the Proposer role, do note that this involves a small transaction fee.
* If you already have contributor and proposer registrations, the Add Role feature won’t be available.\\

{% endhint %}

#### **CATALYST KEYCHAIN**

This section shows important information related to your Keychain. Here, you will see the stake address of the wallet that you’ve linked to your Keychain.&#x20;

#### REMOVE CATALYST KEYCHAIN

If you’d like to remove your Keychain from the current device, click Remove Keychain. To complete the action, follow the steps on screen. This action will permanently remove your Keychain from this device. If you’re using a personal device and plan to return later, you should Lock the [application](https://app.projectcatalyst.io/), instead of removing your keychain.&#x20;

### &#xD;&#xD;Settings

You can access the account menu by clicking on the Avatar icon in the upper right corner of your screen to adjust the timezone and theme of the [application ](https://app.projectcatalyst.io/)on your device.

#### **TIMEZONE**

This setting determines how times are displayed in the [application](https://app.projectcatalyst.io/discovery).

When UTC is selected, all times will be presented in Coordinated Universal Time. This is the format that all dates are communicated in by default, given the global nature of the Catalyst community. By anchoring on a single standard time, it helps keep everyone on the same page.&#x20;

When “Local” is selected, all times will be converted from UTC to the local time used on your device’s operating system. You may prefer this option if you are unfamiliar with UTC, and some users may find it easier to keep track of deadlines. <br>

**THEME**

This setting determines how colors are displayed in the [application](https://app.projectcatalyst.io/).

“Light” mode is applied by default, although some users may prefer using “Dark” mode for reduced eye strain in low-light conditions or to preserve battery.<br>
