4. 4. Start Validating

   You'll have to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once it's confirmed, you'll automatically validate transactions on the Aleph Zero network. You'll be rewarded with AZERO for these validations.

What to Keep in Mind

You need to keep in mind the transaction and staking pool fees. Additionally, there might be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this can take a while.
