2. Select a THORChain Wallet
Once you have RUNE, you'll need to select a THORChain wallet to securely store your tokens. Here are some recommended options that are popular among Korean users.
3. Delegate Your RUNE in South Korea
We recommend using a staking pool when staking RUNE. It’s more convenient and quicker to get started. A staking pool consists of a group of validators who combine their RUNE, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can easily manage this through your wallet's interface.
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 THORChain network. For these validations, you will be rewarded with RUNE.

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.
