  3. 3. Delegate Your ATOM

    We recommend using a staking pool when staking ATOM. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their ATOM, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage this through your wallet's interface.

What to Keep in Mind

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to take into account. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this process can take some time.
