Polkadot Summit and Litentry price action
Polkadot price has consolidated recently after the developers launched a new way to stake DOT coins in its ecosystem. The network introduced nomination pools that make it possible for people to stake as little as 1 DOT.
According to Polkadot, there are now 50 nomination pools a day after it was launched. Before the launch of these pools, the only way to participate in the nomination process was to directly nominate validators, using their stake of DOT tokens to select up to 16 trustworthy validators.
Therefore, with nomination pools, the creator of a nomination pool manages nominations on behalf of pool members. It is now reducing the time and overhead necessary to participate in the nomination process. According to StakingRewards, Polkadot yields about 14%.
