Power Polkadot's future
with your vote
Polkadot utilizes a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, which enables token holders (nominators) to support trustworthy validators with their stake. This system enhances network security and decentralization by encouraging a diverse set of participants to validate blocks and maintain the blockchain. By nominating, users help determine which validators are active and responsible for producing new blocks, while also sharing in the staking rewards. Support decentralization and earn staking rewards by nominating your DOT to Cointelegraph’s validator. By choosing our validator, you’re not just securing the network — you’re contributing to a more open and resilient blockchain ecosystem.
