 Validator operators should follow these instructions to carry out delegation pool operations for [staking](../../../concepts/staking.md). You may delegate as little as 10 APT plus a small add stake fee that will be mostly refunded as rewards at the end of the current 2-hour epoch. You might notice that some UIs might use 11 APT as the minimum for a round number. Note that your validator will become part of the *Active Validator Set* only when the delegation pool satisfies the minimum cumulative [staking requirement of 1 million APT](./staking-pool-operations.md).
 
-Once the delegation pool attains 1 million APT, the pool's owner who initiates the delegation pool should set an operator for the pool via the `set_operator` function described in the [Perform pool owner operations](#perform-pool-owner-operations) section. The operator should then start their own Aptos node, as it is a best practice to have a different account for owner and operator. The operator should now [join in the active set of validators](./staking-pool-operations.md#joining-validator-set).

 The operator address will receive the pool commission that was set at the initialization of the delegation pool, which is automatically distributed as stake in the delegation pool at the end of each epoch. The operator will act as a normal Delegation Pool account that is able to do all of the operations described in [Perform delegation pool operations](#perform-delegation-pool-operations).
