14+
15+### Types of proxies
16+
17+There are four types of proxy: management, spawn, transfer, and voting. Their
18+capabilities are detailed in the following. In addition, each proxy is able to
19+transfer itself to another address - e.g. the management proxy can set a new
20+address to be the management proxy.
21+
22+- **Management proxy**
23+
24+ Can configure or set Arvo networking keys,
25+ [breach](/docs/using/id/guide-to-breaches), and conduct sponsorship related
26+ operations. Planets, stars, and galaxies may all set a management proxy.
27+
28+- **Spawn proxy**
29+
30+ For stars and galaxies only. Can create new child identities.
31+
32+- **Transfer proxy**
33+
34+ The address holding the transfer proxy may transfer ownership of the ID to the
35+ address of the transfer proxy. This is used to make transferring a two-step
36+ process: using the ownership address to set the transfer proxy, and then using
37+ the transfer proxy to complete the transaction. It is possible to transfer
38+ ownership as a one-step process, but this is risky and not recommended. Bridge
39+ does not natively support one-step transfers, you must use an advanced tool
40+ like [`%claz`](/docs/azimuth/advanced-azimuth-tools) to manually generate such
41+ a transaction.
42+
43+- **Voting proxy**
44+
45+ Galaxies only. Galaxies are the part of the [Galactic
46+ Senate](/docs/glossary/senate), and this means they can cast votes on new
47+ proposals including changes to Ecliptic.
