This entails adding your prefix to a database known as _EntityDB_ which holds all such entries. This is done in order to ensure there are no clashes with addresses and also doubles as a source of truth in terms of what networks _should_ be available on CRXN along with some information about available services. + +To register your prefix on EntityDB please visit the repository [here](https://codeberg.org/CRXN/entitydb), fork the repository, then follow the [`README.md`](https://codeberg.org/CRXN/entitydb/src/branch/master/README.md) on how to format your entry, create a pull request and wait for approval from a network administrator. Only then will you be allowed to continue with this tutorial. \ No newline at end of file
