To join a staking pool, first select the account you want to use. Then, go to its details page, choose the chain and asset you want to stake, and click the ‘Stake’ button at the bottom of the page to view staking options, as shown in the pictures below.
After clicking on the stake button, you’ll see two options: Solo and Pool Staking. Choose Pool Staking to continue.
After selecting pool staking, you’ll see the pool staking home. By clicking the + button, you can start staking, where you’ll be taken to a page that lets you choose between joining an existing pool or creating a new one, based on your preference and the minimum staking amount required.
By choosing to join a pool, you’ll see a page where you can set the amount you want to stake and view a list of available pools on that chain. You can then select a pool based on factors like the staked amount, commission rate, and whether the pool owner’s identity is verified.
After selecting your preferred pool and the amount you wish to stake, you’ll be taken to a review page. Here, you can check the details, and if everything looks good, enter your password and click the confirm button.
After a short wait, you’ll see the confirmation page indicating your transaction was successful. Congratulations! You’ve joined a staking pool and will begin receiving rewards in approximately two days🚀.
❓Is there a shortcut to the staking home page from the PolkaGate home page?
