# Staking of Node
**Steps to Stake a Validator Node:**
**Step 1: Install Wallet**\
Install the **Keplr Wallet**, **Leap Wallet**, or **Cosmostation Wallet** from the Chrome extension store.
**Step 2: Import Mnemonics**\
Import the mnemonics (seed phrase) used to create the validator into your Keplr, Leap, or Cosmostation wallet. For the **Keplr Wallet**, add the Tx testnet and mainnet by visiting **chains.keplr.app**.
**Step 3: Navigate to the Validator Nodes Page**\
From the left navigation panel, navigate to the **Validator Nodes** Link on the platform .You'll see a list of your deployed validator nodes under **Validator Nodes (x)**. Find your Tx node and click the **Manage** button in the **Actions** column.
**Step 4: Navigate to validator dashboard**\
Once the node is created and its status is marked as *Ready*, the user is redirected to the **Node Details** page.
**Step 5: Navigate to Staking**
Click the **Stake** button located in the top-right corner of the screen.
**Step 6 :Stake Validator** – Enter the basic node details (e.g., validator name, commission rate, etc.). Click the **Stake** button to complete the configuration. A transaction request will be triggered to the installed wallet (Leap, Keplr, or Cosmostation). After the transaction is approved in the selected wallet, it will be submitted to the blockchain for confirmation. Once approved, the node becomes a validator node on Tx blockchain.
**Note**: Users can edit or update the validator node only after the staking is completed.
