3. 3. Delegate Your usde

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking usde. It's simpler and faster to get up-and-running. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their usde, which gives them a higher chance of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.
