5. Fill in the Missing Words In the Seed Phrase Order To Verify Your New Wallet

Fill in the blank words that you wrote down in step 4.

6. Create an Account

Choose an account name for your wallet and password. The password will be used for signing in and as a “Spending Password,” so it’s important to remember it. Once you click submit, your new account will be registered, and you can send ADA to your wallet and start staking.

7. Send ADA to your wallet

Click on receive to get your wallet address or QR code and send ADA to your new Nami wallet.

10. Sign Your Wallet To Stake Your ADA

Sign with your spending password, and that’s it; your ADA from your Nami Wallet is now staked, and you can start earning passive ADA.

The delegate button integrated with the Nami wallet is for the Berry Stake Pool, and it does not take you to an option to search for the stake pool you’ve decided to stake with. To find the stake pool you want to delegate to and stake, you need to go to and search for your stake pool of choice:
