3. Delegate Your VET
We recommend using a staking pool when staking VET. It's simpler and quicker to get started. A staking pool is a collective of validators who combine their VET, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can manage this through your wallet's interface.
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 VeChain network. You'll be rewarded with VET for these validations.
