3. 3. Delegate Your stacks

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking stacks. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their stacks, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do 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 is confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the STACKS network. You will be rewarded with stacks for these validations.

What to Be Aware Of

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to consider. There may also be a waiting period before you start earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this can take some time.
