2. Enter the amount of SOL you would like to delegate. Please leave at least 1 SOL in your account to pay for future transaction fees. Click Next. If you receive an error message, ensure your Ledger is unlocked and has the Solana app open.

3. Confirm the creation of a new stake account for the correct amount of SOL.
