2. 2. Choose a IQ Wallet in India

   Once you have IQ, you'll need to choose a IQ wallet to securely store your tokens. Here are some reliable options available in India.

3. 3. Delegate Your IQ in India

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking IQ. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their IQ, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can easily 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's confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the IQ network. For these validations, you will be rewarded with IQ.

What to Keep in Mind

When engaging in staking, it's important to factor in transaction fees and staking pool charges. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin to earn rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take some time to accomplish.
