3. Delegate Your ADA
We recommend using a staking pool when staking ADA. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their ADA, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage 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 Cardano network. You'll be rewarded with ADA for these validations.

What to Keep in Mind

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to keep in mind. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, which can take a bit of time.
