2. 2. Select a Shadow Token Wallet

   Once you have SHDW, you'll need to choose a Shadow Token wallet to store your tokens securely. Here are some solid options to consider.

3. 3. Delegate Your SHDW

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking SHDW. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their SHDW, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage 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 Shadow Token network. You'll be rewarded with SHDW for these validations.

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.
