# Proxies

This section goes over different types of Proxy accounts available in the Polkadot Ecosystem

## Proxied Accounts (Delegated Authorities)

Proxies are useful because they allow you to delegate another account to carry out specific actions on behalf of your primary account. 

The most common use case for proxy accounts is assigning a hot wallet as the staking proxy for your cold storage wallet. This allows you to utilize the hot wallet to carry out staking operations on behalf of your cold storage wallet such as changing your nominated validators.

## Pure Proxies

Pure Proxies are different from regular proxy accounts. With a regular proxy account, you are delegating authority for some types of transactions from your primary account to a secondary (proxy) account. Pure Proxies on the other hand are accounts that are created (not assigned) by the primary account. That primary account then acts as an Any Proxy on behalf of the Pure Proxy.

Pure Proxies are keyless non-deterministic accounts as they do not have a private key but they have an address that is randomly generated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novaspektr.io/wallet-management/proxies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
