Collators on the v1 (collator-staking.darwinia.network) will not automatically transition to v2 (collator-staking.ringdao.com). To continue participating as a collator in v2, you must complete the migration manually.

Navigate to collator-staking.ringdao.com and ensure your wallet is connected.
Once connected, click the Join Collator button at the bottom right corner of the page.
If you've already set a collator session key in v1 and are actively running a collator node, the session key will be automatically detected in v2. The only step left is to set your commission rate on the v2 interface.
Set your commission rate, and click Create Nomination Pool & Collate. You will be prompted to sign a transaction. Once the transaction is confirmed, you will receive a notification, and you can view your collator details on your dashboard.
That’s it! To confirm your account's inclusion in the active or waiting collator pool, click on the New Stake > Select a collator.
Also, you can manage your collator settings and view additional details on your collator dashboard.
