#### Step 4: Register Your Agent

* Choose to register your agent on-chain via the Sahara Blockchain.
* Registration mints an OwnershipNFT, establishing on-chain provenance.

When registering your agent, select a license that defines usage rights:

| License Type         | Description                                                            |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Open Use             | Free, unrestricted reuse with no royalties                             |
| Non-Commercial Remix | Free remixing allowed for non-commercial use                           |
| Commercial Use       | Commercial use allowed, remixing prohibited                            |
| Commercial Remix     | Full commercial use & remixing allowed, with automated royalty routing |

⚠️ Licensing is required to list your agents for monetization when the Marketplace opens for commercial use.

#### Step 7: Complete the Registration of your Agent

⚠️If you require additional $SAHARA to complete the transaction click "**Top Up"** to access the testnet faucet.
