Polkadot liquid staking from Ankr provides additional benefits in the form of the aDOTb token. The token gives you extra flexibility to transfer to other wallets, trade on supported DEXs, or earn additional rewards with any supported DeFi strategies.

What are the risks of staking Polkadot (DOT)

The only risk for stakers is the chance they will miss out on rewards during any time a validator they staked with is slashed. Slashing is a protocol-level penalty associated with a validator failure if it validates an invalid transaction, attacks the network, or goes offline. The delegated staked DOT will not be slashed — slashing impacts only the self-stake of the validator. Ankr only delegates to trusted and reputable validator nodes to avoid any validator that would act maliciously.

What is Polkadot (DOT) staking?

Staking is an important mechanism in Polkadot’s Nominated Proof-of-Stake blockchain. Contributing DOT to validators is important as they need it in order to meet requirements for processing transactions and creating new blocks on the blockchain. Stakers will then earn a share of the validators’ earned rewards.

What is the best wallet to stake Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot staking has a unique requirement that you will need to connect a Polkadot.js wallet holding your DOT and a MetaMask wallet that will be used to collect aDOTb. You should have both of these wallets ready before staking DOT. Learn more.

What is the minimum and maximum amount of DOT required to start staking?

You will need at least 1 DOT to start staking, but there is no maximum.

What is the minimum staking period for Polkadot (DOT)?

There is no minimum staking period, and you can unstake at any time, but the unbonding period to unstake your DOT will be up to 28 days before you receive them to your wallet.

Where Can I Stake my Polkadot (DOT)?

You can stake your Polkadot (DOT) with Ankr Staking using Polkadot Liquid Staking to receive rewards daily.
