# Identity

Graffiti ID, also known as ID, is mandatory for a validator. Without it, your graffiti won't ever be executed.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Identities are soulbound to the Validator Index that you inputted when creating your ID. This is immutable, and the ERC721 token **cannot** be transferred.
{% endhint %}

## Creating an ID

1. Visit our website, then go to "Identities" and select "Create Heroglyph ID."
2. Choose a unique name for your ID.
3. (Optional) Set the wallet that will receive rewards. Leaving it empty will default to your current wallet.

### Find your Validator Index

Go on your validator page on [beaconcha.in](https://beaconcha.in/). Your validator Index is by default next to "Validator".

If you renamed your validator, you can still find the index number in the url
