Abstecken des Polkadots auf dem Hauptbuch

I just put my DOT in a pool forget about it and then compound rewards back into it at the end of every month. The DOT nomination process to stake with individual validators is a nightmare and a hindrance IMO

I’m afraid I can’t help you, but am curious about the minimum amount of DOT required to stake nowadays. I always get conflicting information when I check the web regarding this matter. Some sources claim 80 DOT, others say 120, and some report a single digit number.

DOT staking is crazy stupid…enough that I sold my bag since the inflation was eating me alive.

I have the same problem. I am above minimum threshold, but no active nominations. Sometimes it works for a week or two, then it just stops.

Hey – sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with staking your DOT. Firstly, staking DOT is an active process that requires periodic attention. It’s important to note that even if you’ve bonded your DOT, there’s no guarantee of rewards.
Not all nominations will be consistently elected to receive rewards.

Secondly, have you waited for three eras from your initial nomination? When users nominate, the bond will not be assigned to a validator during the current era.

As of 7/11/2023, the minimum thresholds for bonding, nominating and earning rewards are specified below. In order to ensure consistent eligibility, it’s best to bond more than the minimum. Typically, 10 DOT above the minimum is enough to ensure consistent eligibility for rewards:

Bonding: check it here
Nominating: 100 DOT
Rewards: 405.093 DOT

If you are below the minimum to earn rewards staking from your account, consider joining a Polkadot Nomination Pool and earn rewards on as little as one DOT.

Let us know if you’ve any other questions.

Connect your ledger to Talisman wallet and stake your DOT. The wallet chooses the validator automatically and there is no minimum for staking.

Just looked on ledger live cause I was seeing the similar thing and it states that you must bond at least 250 dot or your dot won’t be nominated. According to polkadot.is you can do it for less but haven’t tried that yet. I don’t know why they can’t just make it like cardano or solana and make a wallet with easy staking steps. It pushes people away when there are a lot of confusing check points.
