3. Delegate Your USDC
We recommend using a staking pool when staking USDC. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their USDC, 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 USDC network. You'll be rewarded with USDC for these validations.
