177+### Escaping A Sponsor
178+
179+To use the network as a planet or star, you must be sponsored by an active star or galaxy, respectively. If your sponsor isn't suiting your needs, you can escape to a different one. The [Bridge](https://bridge.urbit.org/) software doesn't yet support escaping. For the time being, however, you can follow this guide.
180+
181+#### Prerequisites
182+
183+- A little bit of ETH in your management proxy address to pay for the transaction.
184+- The identity number of the sponsor you want to escape from.
185+- The identity number of the sponsor you want to escape to.
186+
187+You can find an identity's number by running ``` `@`~marzod ``` in any Dojo, where `~marzod` is the name of the relevant identity.
188+
189+#### Instructions
190+
191+0. If you have your management proxy in Metamask, you can use Etherscan [here](https://etherscan.io/address/ecliptic.eth#writeContract). Skip steps 1-4.
192+1. Go to either myetherwallet.com or mycrypto.com. Since this is a low-risk operation, and you're signing with a low-value key, it's fine to use their online versions. Sign in with your management mnemonic. (They may still force you to download their tool to log in like this.)
193+2. Navigate to the "interact with contract" page of the tool you're using.
194+3. Specify a contract address of `0x6ac07B7C4601B5CE11de8Dfe6335B871C7C4dd4d`.
195+4. Copy the "contract ABI" from [here](https://etherscan.io/address/ecliptic.eth#code) and paste it into the "ABI/JSON interface" field.
196+5. Select the `escape()` function, passing in two arguments: your identity number, and the number of your desired sponsor.
197+6. Sign and submit the transaction.
198+7. Get in touch with your prospective sponsor, since they won't be notified otherwise. You can do this by contacting them on the network via chat, or joining `~dopzod/urbit-help` and asking around.
199+8. Wait for your request to be accepted by the prospective sponsor.
200+9. If your request is not accepted by your prospective sponsor, a last resort, you can make a request to escape to `~marzod`, which is operated by Tlon, the company leading the development of Urbit.

179204While the Urbit network is in this alpha state, we sometimes have to reboot the whole network. This happens either when major changes need to be shipped or we hit a bug that can't be fixed over the air.
