3. Delegate Your APT
We recommend using a staking pool when staking APT. It’s simpler and faster to get up-and-running. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their APT, which gives them a higher chance of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet’s interface.
4. Start Validating
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 Aptos network. You’ll be rewarded with APT for these validations.
