3. 3. Delegate Your GLMR

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking GLMR. It's simpler and faster to get up-and-running. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their GLMR, which gives them a higher chance of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.

4. 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 Moonbeam network. You'll be rewarded with GLMR for these validations.

What to be Aware of

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to consider. There can also be a waiting period before you start earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this can take some time.
