Once you have ALPHA, you'll need to choose a Stella wallet to store your tokens. Here are some suitable options.
We recommend using a staking pool when staking ALPHA. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their ALPHA, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.
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. You will be rewarded with ALPHA for these validations.
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.
