2. 2. Select a Stella Wallet for Your Needs

   Once you have ALPHA, you'll need to select a Stella wallet to securely store your tokens. Here are some excellent options to consider.

3. 3. Delegate Your ALPHA for Enhanced Returns

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

4. 4. Begin Verification

   You will need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once it is confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the Stella network. For these validations, you will be rewarded with ALPHA.

What to Consider in the Chinese Market

When engaging in transactions and participating in staking pools, it's important to factor in the associated fees. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin to receive rewards. The staking pool must successfully generate blocks, which can require some time to accomplish.
