2. 2. Select a Curve DAO Wallet

   Once you have CRV, you'll need to select a Curve DAO wallet to keep your tokens safe. Here are some great options.

3. 3. Delegate Your CRV

   We suggest using a staking pool for staking CRV. It's easier and quicker to start. A staking pool consists of validators who pool their CRV, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can access this via your wallet's interface.

4. 4. Begin Validation

   You will need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the Curve DAO network. You will be rewarded with CRV for these validations.

Key Considerations

Consider the transaction and staking pool fees. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take some time.
