6. If you are using a hardware wallet, you will be prompted to confirm the delegation transaction on your hardware wallet.

Tips

* When choosing a validator, it is important to do your research and select a validator that you trust. You can read reviews of validators on the Cosmos Hub website.
* You can delegate your tokens to multiple validators. This can help to spread your risk if a validator misbehaves.
* You can delegate your tokens at any time.
