<p>Staking is always comes with some degree of risk. The delegation process in most cases is not a simple one and a possible danger lies in the need to store your tokens with a third party provider in order to improve your staking experience. The fundamental rule is: your keys - your crypto. When you hold your keys you control the risk, when you use third parties in order to simplify the delegation process you transfer the risk to them.</p><p>One of the most secure ways to become a delegator is to use cold staking from your hardware wallet even if sometimes it is less convenient. Now you can simply hold your Tezos in your Ledger and safely delegate to P2P Validator using a simple staking tool on our website.</p><p>To get started go to <a href="https://p2p.org/tezos/?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org/tezos</a> and click on “Delegate with Ledger” button.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-4.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="741" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/04/image-4.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/04/image-4.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2021/04/image-4.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2021/04/image-4.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="step-1-choose-tezos-from-the-list-of-available-networks"><strong><strong><strong>Step 1. </strong></strong>Choose Tezos from the list of available networks</strong></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-5.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1368" height="1040" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/04/image-5.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/04/image-5.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/04/image-5.png 1368w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="step-2-connect-your-ledger-device-and-navigate-to-tezos-app"><strong><strong><strong>Step 2.

They get on very well and talk about a lot of things about themselves. They discover they both have the same opinion about banks - they are crypto-enthusiasts.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1280" height="900" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/1.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/1.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Arthur and Kate share their experiences with PoS tokens.

My delegator is terrible at keeping me in the loop. I discovered they didn’t pay my rewards on time or in full. It’s a real headache.</p><p>A: Be carefull, maybe in future they may not pay at all. Why not change? It's really simple.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/3-1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1280" height="900" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/3-1.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/3-1.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/3-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>K: Won't I lose my rewards while I’m redelegating?</p><p>A: No, your rewards from your old baker must be paid to you in full even when you stop baking completely.
