Once you have OP, you'll need to choose a Optimism wallet to store your tokens. Here are some great options.
We recommend using a staking pool when staking OP. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their OP, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.
You'll need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once it's confirmed, you'll automatically validate transactions on the Optimism network. You'll be rewarded with OP for these validations.
There are transaction and staking pool fees to consider. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you start earning rewards. The staking pool needs to generate blocks, which can take some time.
