Polkadex has been using the Blockchain for a week, and there are already 60 Validator nodes around the globe confirming transactions and creating blocks. In the next stage, around 25 additional nodes await to start validating. There are more than 400 nominators along with 90 Validators. There are presently 440,000 PDEX staked on this Polkadex Blockchain between Validator and nominators. Two critical components for the Polkadex network’s long-term prosperity are a dynamic community of Validators and a significant quantity of PDEX staked at one time.
What are Validators?
Validators can confirm transactions when broadcast to the network in the selected Proof of Stake (nPOS) blockchains, including Polkadex. They keep the system running smoothly, vote, and add new blocks to the Blockchain.
Validators manage expensive processes, assure rapid communication, and establish a long-term reputation for dependability. They put their PDEX on the line as a sign of good behavior. The validators’ staked PDEX is cut if they stray from their procedure. If they follow the regulations, however, they will be rewarded in PDEX.
Status of Staking

The nPOS consensus from Polkadex lets everyone inside the network stake PDEX and assist in securing the network, not only validators. Anyone has the right to ‘nominate’ validators in this instance by including their own PDEX to the total stake of the validators. You may become a nominator and start earning rewards on staked PDEX by betting with a validator. The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) from all validators is over 112 percent at the current time. However, it is projected to decline to about 10 to15 percent APY.
Which Validator must you nominate?
While staking, it’s critical to have faith in the validators you’ve chosen. While you can designate over 16 validators at a time, you should think about a few things before doing so. Validators, for example, can choose a commission for their service that is deducted from their nominators’ compensation. The Validators’ “skin in the game” can also be judged by nominators, who can see how much of their PDEX is on the line.
Who are the Validators?
Being a decentralized public chain, Polkadex allows anybody to join the chain as a validator. Operating a validator node, on the other hand, may need more sophisticated technical expertise and hardware.
Network Growth

Since the validator set is now limited to 50 validators, it will progressively grow to 100 validators by year-end. As the number of validator slots grows, more individuals will contribute to the Polkadex mainnet, gaining valuable experience and earning PDEX in the process.
