# When the Round Opens: Registration Process

When a round enters the **OPEN** state:

1. Navigate to the AutoCap Dashboard
2. Select the active round from the round selector
3. In the Participants table, click **“Register Now”**
4. Connect your Filecoin wallet when prompted as Burn Address
5. In the registration modal:
   * Review the displayed registration fee
   * Enter your DataCap Recipient Address
   * Confirm the registration details
6. The system simulates the transaction to verify that it will succeed
7. Approve the transaction in your wallet
8. Wait for on-chain confirmation
9. Upon confirmation, registration is complete

After registration, the dashboard will begin tracking **eligible FIL burns** originating from your Participant Address for the duration of the round.

## 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://lucas-documentation.gitbook.io/docs/usage-in-practice/when-the-round-opens-registration-process.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.
