3. Delegate Your AVAX in Canada
We recommend using a staking pool when staking AVAX. It's simpler and faster to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their AVAX, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.
4. Start Validating
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 Avalanche network. You'll be rewarded with AVAX for these validations.

What Canadians Should Be Aware Of

In Canada, it's important to consider transaction and staking pool fees. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take some time.
