2. 2. Choose a Tornado Cash Wallet

   Once you have TORN, you’ll need to choose a Tornado Cash wallet to store your tokens. Here are some good options.

3. 3. Delegate Your TORN

   We recommend using a staking pool when staking TORN. It’s simpler and faster to get up-and-running. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their TORN, which gives them a higher chance of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do 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 Tornado Cash network. You’ll be rewarded with TORN for these validations.

What to be Aware of

There are transaction and staking pool fees you need to consider. There might also be a waiting period before you start earning rewards. The staking pool will need to generate blocks, and this can take some time.
