3. 3. Delegate Your FIL

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

4. 4. Start Validating

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

What to Consider

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to consider. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, and this process can take some time.
