1/ Introducing the new Polkadot staking dashboard 💻

This new, user-friendly staking app for the Polkadot community was unveiled last week at @PolkadotDecoded by @ParityTech engineer @rossbulat.

Let's have a look at how it changes the game... 🧵

2/ The dashboard allows you to access all major staking functions on Polkadot through an easy-to-navigate interface.

Research, favorite, and nominate validators, see your payout history, adjust your bond amount and more, all in just a few clicks 🙌

3/ Connect your existing @PolkadotJS extension or @wearetalisman wallet (@subwalletapp & more coming soon), or add any address on a read-only basis to track your payouts & monitor your account.

It currently supports Polkadot, @kusamanetwork, & Westend networks — more on the way.

4/ The app brings a much-needed boost to Polkadot's user experience (especially for less-technical users) & also encourages more participation with native staking, removing the need to use third-party apps & custodial services & thus promoting network security & decentralization.

5/ The dashboard also supports nomination pools on @kusamanetwork (nomination pools haven’t launched on Polkadot yet but will be supported when they do), so even those with less stake can participate and stake natively, further improving security and scalability.

6/ The dashboard is now available for the community to try out in beta, with several improvements planned for future updates.

Shortly after the new tool was demoed at Polkadot Decoded, Polkadot surpassed 30k nominators 🚀

Try out the beta now: staking.polkadot.network/dashboard#/ove…
