Once you have BTG, you’ll need to choose a Bitcoin Gold wallet to store your tokens. Here are some good options.
3. Delegate your BTG
We recommend using a staking pool when staking BTG. It’s simpler and faster to get up-and-running. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their BTG, which gives them a higher chance of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do 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 Bitcoin Gold network. You’ll be rewarded with BTG for these validations.
What to be aware of
There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to consider. There can also be a waiting period before you start earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this can take some time.
