3. 3. Delegate Your ETH in South Korea

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking ETH. It’s more convenient and quicker to get started. A staking pool consists of a group of validators who combine their ETH, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can easily manage 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 Ethereum network. For these validations, you will be rewarded with ETH.

What to Keep in Mind

You should be aware of the transaction and staking pool fees that apply. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin to earn rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take a bit of time in the process.
