Stake DOT in three clear steps
Polkadot Staking is built around real network mechanics: wallet approval, staking selection, and on-chain confirmation. You see the live details first, then decide whether to sign.
Connect your wallet
Open the app and connect your own wallet or the browser extension. Your keys stay with you, and every transaction is approved from your wallet.
Choose the staking path
Select DOT, then review whether direct nomination or a nomination pool fits your account. The app surfaces validator, pool, and bonding context before you commit.
Review and sign
Check the reward estimate, transaction cost, and unstaking timing in the app. Confirm only when the staking position matches your plan.
Put DOT to work while supporting the network
Earn from network staking
DOT staking rewards come from Polkadot's nominated proof-of-stake design. The app focuses on current terms instead of stale rate claims.
Know the timing before you act
Staking and unstaking are on-chain actions, and exit timing is not instant. The dashboard shows the current status and timing before you confirm.
Keep custody of your DOT
You sign staking instructions from your wallet. The app helps you review the transaction, while custody and authorization remain under your control.
Polkadot Staking focuses on DOT on the relay chain, with network activity visible through a public explorer.
Polkadot Staking questions
What is Polkadot Staking?
Polkadot Staking is the process of locking DOT into an on-chain staking position so it can help secure the network and participate in reward distribution.
What asset do I stake?
You stake DOT. The app is framed around DOT staking on Polkadot, and it shows supported assets and networks before you connect or sign.
How long does staking or unstaking take?
Staking actions and unstaking exits follow Polkadot network timing, so they are not instant. Current timing is shown in the app before you confirm.
What does it cost?
You pay the network transaction cost required by Polkadot. The app previews the current cost before your wallet asks you to approve the action.
Is Polkadot Staking non-custodial?
Yes. You connect a wallet and sign transactions yourself. The app does not need your private keys and does not take custody of your DOT.
Which chains are supported?
Polkadot Staking is centered on DOT and the Polkadot network. Check the supported chains page for the current route and asset scope.
