3. 3. Delegate Your DESO

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking DESO. It's more straightforward and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who pool their DESO, enhancing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage this through your wallet's interface.

4. 4. Begin the Validation Process

   You'll need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once it's confirmed, you'll automatically validate transactions on the Decentralized Social network. For these validations, you'll receive rewards in DESO.

What to Consider in Italy

When engaging in staking, it's important to factor in the transaction and staking pool fees. Additionally, you may encounter a waiting period before you begin to earn rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take a bit of time.
