Delegated staking is a great way to earn passive income while supporting the Bittensor network. By delegating your TAO tokens to a validator, you can help secure the network and earn rewards in the process. But with so many validators to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together this overview of where you can delegate your TAO tokens, making it easy for you to choose a validator that aligns with your goals and values. Read on to discover the benefits of delegated staking and find the perfect validator to delegate your TAO tokens to.
If you don’t know how to delegate via the Polkadot Wallet, here is a step-by-step guide.
