3. Enter the amount of OSMO to delegate. By delegating a higher amount, you can get more reward.
   
   • You will have to select an amount to delegate and the validator you wish to delegate to.
   • Only the validators who are in the top 135 can distribute rewards. If a validator drops out of the top 135, they will no longer validate blocks, thus they no longer have rewards to distribute.
   • You may choose 1 validator per staking transaction.
   • You may choose an existing validator in your list to add more OSMO to the already existing delegation.
     
     
4. Click on Continue.

Claim your Rewards

1. When available, you will be able to claim your rewards through the Claim rewards button or through the Manage list of options.
