Reward for creating original and very complete content about Stake on the Kusama network. The article starts by explaining what Kusama is, what is stake and how stake works in the Kusama network.
It explains about the safety of staking, what validators are and what nominators are. Explains how the stake rewards and slash process works.
The second part of the article shows with a detailed tutorial how to bet on the kusama network using Polkadot Web Wallet.
