Once you have backed up your mnemonics, enter the name of the wallet and confirm it by selecting “Next”. You will be asked to confirm your seed phrase that you have just backed up. After that select “Register” and your Keplr wallet will be successfully created.
Stake your tokens
Open your Keplr wallet extension and select “Stake”
A new window will open up taking you to Keplr staking dashboard where you can see all of the available validators. If you liked this guide and would like to support our efforts, then you can delegate to “Qubelabs” validator.
In order to stake your tokens, select “Manage” and new pop-up will appear where you can delegate, undelegate or redelegate Umee tokens. Select “Delegate” and enter the amount of UMEE you would like to delegate to the selected validator. After that another pop-up will show where you need to confirm the staking transaction by selecting “Approve”.
That’s it, congratulations! You have now successfully staked your UMEE tokens.
