Hey all,
I recently discovered a new feature in my app that allows me to stake my DOT tokens at an APY of up to 7.95%. I’m questioning whether this staking option is truly advantageous for earning passive income and what potential risks might come with it.
I’ve held DOT for a while now and was planning to simply hold them, but the idea of earning returns through staking has piqued my interest. I’m seeking advice or insights on how staking operates and if it’s a safe approach. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
hey zoe, from my side staking is neat tbh - i had added it to my strategy. just stay alert cause market mood swings can hit fast. overall, it adds a cool passive edge if you keep an eye on it.
hey zoe, this is a really cool thread! i been playing around with staking a bit myself and found that while the returns (i mean 7.95% is not too shabby) sound great, there are certain things to keep in mind. one thing im curious about is what your long term strategy with DOT is—like are you planning to hold them anyway or really reinvesting those yields? also, i’ve read that network certanity risks and some issues with liquidity might come into play if something unexpected happens. anyone else seen funny surprises in their staking journey? would love to hear more on others experiences or unexpected outcomes. lets dig deeper
