We recommend using a staking pool when staking XLM. It's more straightforward and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who pool their XLM, enhancing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage this through your wallet's interface.
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 Stellar network. For these validations, you'll receive rewards in XLM.
