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 Kusama network. You will be rewarded with KSM 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.
