Run Your Own DOT Validator
Polkadot uses a dynamic interest rate model, where the rate is based on the total percentage of tokens staked. It adjusts the staking rewards accordingly to incentivize or discourage staking depending on whether the total staked percentage is above or below the targeted level. This allows Polkadot to maintain an optimal staking rate that aligns with its tokenomic model.
To become a validator on Polkadot, there is no minimum self-bond required. However, to be elected into the active set, a minimum stake of 1283981.235390 DOT is needed. The minimum stake changes over time and is dependent on the amount of stake behind each validator, the size of the active set, and the number of validators that are waiting in the pool. You must have a stake as much or higher than the lowest ranked validator in the active set +1 to enter the active set. Thus, it's possible to meet the minimum stake requirement to be elected to the active set by using almost 100% nominated DOTs.
To withdraw your staked tokens, you need to start the 28 day unbonding period. During this time, your staked DOT will not accrue any new rewards, and you will be unable to withdraw them until the completion of the period.
