3. 3. Delegate Your FIL in the UAE

   We recommend utilizing a staking pool when staking FIL. It’s more straightforward and quicker to get started. A staking pool consists of a group of validators who pool their FIL, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage this through your wallet's interface.

4. 4. Begin Verification

   You will need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your digital wallet. Once it's confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the Filecoin network. For these validations, you will be rewarded with FIL.

What to Consider in the UAE Market

In the UAE, it's important to factor in transaction and staking pool fees when engaging in cryptocurrency activities. Additionally, you may experience a waiting period before you begin to earn rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take some time to accomplish.
