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.

Stakers will then earn a share of the validators’ earned rewards.

What is the best wallet to stake Polkadot (DOT)
