# Delegated Staking Mechanism
# Solo Staking

Zilliqa 2.0 validators can operate staking pools, allowing users to delegate
stake to them. They can use the reference implementation of the staking
variants mentioned below or create their own smart contracts.
If node operators want to become a validator on Zilliqa 2.0, they can deposit the
minimum stake required on their own. They can increase their deposit or decrease
it by unstaking and withdrawing part of their deposit. Note that the remaining
deposit must be at least the required minimum. If a validator does not want to
participate in the consensus anymore, they must unstake their entire deposit.

Operators of validator nodes on the proto-mainnet can set up and join a staking pool
with their validator by following the instructions [here](../staking/delegatedstaking.md).

## Setup by Funding a Validator through Delegations

Node operators who do not have the minimum stake required to run a validator node can
launch a staking pool, collect delegated stake and deposit it to turn their node into
a validator once the total delegated stake reaches the minimum required of validators.
Detailed setup instructions for this scenario will be published soon.
