What is Polkadot? 

Polkadot is a decentralized interoperability protocol designed to facilitate secure communication between blockchains that share security. The protocol’s architecture aims to make it fast and scalable. Polkadot achieves this via parallel blockchains, known as ‘parachains’, reducing the load on the main Polkadot chain, also known as the Relay Chain. Polkadot is considered a Layer-0 protocol allowing entire blockchains to be built on top of it, unlike Layer-1 blockchains built for protocol deployment on connected layers.

What is Protocol Staking?

On a Proof of Stake blockchain, Protocol Staking is the act of locking tokens into a protocol in exchange for the right to produce a block, which in turn generates a reward. Locking your tokens is essential for the operation, security, scalability, and decentralization of the protocol. 

Protocol staking through Ledger Enterprise’s platform provides the highest level of security for your assets. By staking, you will contribute to securing the network while also keeping your tokens and any associated rewards safe using Ledger's technology.
