Title: Polkadot ecosystem and staking
Post by: zasad@ on January 01, 2021, 03:51:36 PM
I'll tell you a little about the polkadot ecosystem
https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/explorer

How to connect hardware wallet ledger

1.Go to settings and select the option "Attach Ledger via WebUSB"
https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/settings

2. Install the polcadot app on the ledger. Ledger Live doesn't work with polcadot yet, but that doesn't stop you from using other wallets.
In Ledger Live, you won't see your polcadot coin balance

3. Go to accounts and select the option "Add Ledger "
https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/accounts

then choose "save"

Result:
The wallet is connected. Now you can perform the available operations

4.If you don't have a ledger, choose the "add account" option
https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/accounts

Or use a wallet polkadot{.js} extension (analogous to metamask for ETH)

I recommend buying a hardware wallet, it is convenient, safe, and you do not need to save many seed phrases from different wallets.

If you are interested, then I will write how to start staking and tell you a few nuances.

The polcadot ecosystem is actively developing and by the end of the year, many projects will be launched that will copy the top projects in the Ethereum ecosystem.
While there is an opportunity, I advise you to start learning the main projects now.
Ethereum will not solve gas cost problems by the end of the year, and the polcadot ecosystem will be one of its major competitors
