# How To Delegate Resources

## Goal

Delegate resource for an account.

## Before you begin

* Install the currently supported version of `cleos`.
* Ensure the reference system contracts from `cyberway.contracts` repository is deployed and used to manage system resources.
* Understand the following:
  * What is an [account](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#account);
  * What is a [stake](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#stake);
  * What is a [bandwidth](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#bandwidth) in CyberWay;
  * What are [CPU](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#cpu), [NET](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#net), [RAM](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#ram) and [Storage](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#storage) resources.

## Steps

`alice` delegates 100 tokens to `bob`. This operation is signed by the alice's active key:

```bash
$ cleos push action cyber.stake delegateuse '[alice, bob, "10.0000 CYBER"]' -p alice@active
```

or using specialized cleos system command `delegatebw`:

```bash
$ cleos system delegatebw alice bob "100.0000 CYBER"
```

> **Note**\
> The (RAM, NET, CPU, Storage) resources are not directly delegated. Instead of resources, their total cost is delegated — number of staked tokens.
