   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 WAX network. You'll be rewarded with WAXP for these validations.

What to Be Aware Of

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.
