### **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.

### **8. Do NOT click on Delegate. Go to Pool.pm to find the Stake Pool** **you Want to Stake With**

\
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 [**https://pool.pm/**](https://pool.pm/) and search for your stake pool of choice:

### **10. Sign Your Wallet To Stake Your ADA**
