3. 3. Delegate Your INJ

   We suggest using a staking pool for staking INJ. It's easier and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collection of validators who combine their INJ, which increases their odds of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet’s interface.

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 Injective network. You'll be rewarded with INJ 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.
