Staking workflow
What is the staking process?
The staking process depends on wether you join a nomination pool or if you nominate your validators directly. 
​
If you choose to join a nomination pool, you need to choose the amount to bond (ie stake) when joining the pool. Then the pool will nominate validators on your behalf and you will be able to claim available rewards or bond them every era.
​
If you choose to nominate your validators directly, you will need to bond your token and then nominate and monitor your validators
