In case you have staked before, even not through SubWallet, the staking tab would still display information about your stakings, as the following image:

**Step 4**: Select a collator. \
The wallet displays the number of people participating in staking for a particular validator/collator/dApp, and the **annualized** percentage yield (APY) on staking for such validator/collator/dApp. We suggest you choose validators/collators/dApps that are (i) not "overcrowded" and (ii) report a significantly high annual return.

Depends on your network connection or blockchain processing time, it might take a while to finalize your transaction. Please be patient!
