# Delegate $ESP Tokens
If you don’t run an Espresso validator, you can still put your $ESP tokens to work by **delegating** them. Delegation means you temporarily assign your tokens to an Espresso validator, who stakes them on your behalf. In return, you earn staking rewards, minus the validator’s commission.
**To delegate your tokens please visit:** [**https://claim.espresso.foundation/stake/**](https://claim.espresso.foundation/stake/)
## Connecting Your Wallet
* Click `Connect Your Wallet`.
* Once connected, you’ll see key account information, such as your available balance, your staked amount or your claimable rewards.
## Choosing a Validator
Each validator sets a commission rate, which is deducted from your rewards in exchange for running the infrastructure that stakes your tokens. When selecting a validator, you can consider helpful data including: total stake, commission rate or missed slots.
**NOTE:** Only top 100 validators are eligible to receive rewards. If you delegate to a validator outside the top 100, you will **not** receive rewards till they enter the top 100.
## Delegating Your Tokens
* Once you select a validator, click `Delegate`.
* Review key validator details (e.g., APY, commission), then choose the amount of $ESP you want to delegate.
* Approve the transaction.
* Confirm the delegation.
## Manage Your Stakes
After your delegation transaction has been confirmed, you will start getting rewards. You can check your current stakes in the `My Stakes` section.
* Click `Manage` next to the validator you want to adjust.
* From here, you can **delegate more** or **undelegate**.
* When undelegating, you may choose to **remove all your stake** or **only part of it**.
* Note that it takes around 7 days to complete your undelegation, and you can only have one pending undelegation per validator at any given time.
