<p>Avalabs has just launched its main network so AVAX holders can now participate in staking and earn rewards.</p><blockquote><em><em>Please keep in mind that the data in the screenshots are taken from the test network.</em></em></blockquote><h2 id="what-do-i-need-to-do-to-start-delegating-my-avax"><strong>What do I need to do to start delegating my AVAX?</strong></h2><p>At the time of writing the only known wallet that will support AVAX delegation immediately after Everest starts is the official Avalanche wallet. If you participated in the public sale of Avalanche tokens, you might already have a wallet and certain amount of AVAX (that also could be delegated despite it's locked up) if not, you need to create the wallet first.</p><h2 id="create-your-avalanche-wallet"><strong>Create your Avalanche wallet</strong></h2><ol><li>Go to the <a href="https://wallet.avax.network/?ref=p2p.org">https://wallet.avax.network/</a></li><li>Choose the <code>Create new wallet</code> option.</li><li>Generate a 24 word key phrase for your wallet. Please be very careful since this phrase is the only way to keep control of your AVAX.</li><li>Once the wallet is ready you can deposit AVAX to start delegation.</li></ol><p><em>We recommend using the keystore file which is an encrypted version of a private key protected by your password, since it’s secure and convenient to use.</em></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-17.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="833" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/1-17.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/1-17.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/1-17.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2020/09/1-17.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="delegate-your-avax-to-a-validator"><strong>Delegate your AVAX to a validator</strong></h2><p>1.

Go to the <code>Earn</code> tab and use <code>Cross Chain Transfer</code> to send the necessary amount of AVAX to the Platform chain (P-Chain) to make the delegation possible. Please keep in mind that the minimum amount for delegation is 25 AVAX.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/5-7.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="846" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/5-7.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/5-7.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/5-7.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2020/09/5-7.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>5.
