We suggest using a staking pool for staking DOT. It's easier and quicker to start. A staking pool consists of validators who pool their DOT, increasing their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can access this via your wallet's interface.
4. Begin Validation
You will need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once confirmed, you will automatically validate transactions on the Polkadot network. You will be rewarded with DOT for these validations.
Key Considerations
Consider the transaction and staking pool fees. Additionally, there may be a waiting period before you begin earning rewards. The staking pool must generate blocks, which can take some time.
