3. 3. Delegate Your CELO in Canada

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking CELO. It's simpler and faster to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their CELO, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.

4. 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 Celo network. You'll be rewarded with CELO 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.
