# Biflow's MATIC Staking

**Biflow** participates as a delegator to earn rewards and contribute to network security. We delegate staking tokens to a validator of our choice. 

**What are the benefits of such a such an approach?**

* Biflow shares earned rewards with you
* Biflow takes all risks 

When choosing a validator to delegate Biflow’s and our users’ stake to,  we consider a variety of metrics in order to make an informed decision.

**Biflow team chooses validators based on the:**

* Validator's Self-Staked balance (the more the validator has staked his own funds - the more confident we are in his actions)
* Validator's commission (on average we choose 3-4%. Lower fees are leading to higher-risk, as we all know that the operational costs currently are quite expensive)
* Checkpoints signed: we always choose 96%+, and no less
* Network Share (Stake): when selecting a validator, we avoid both those with the highest and lowest network shares, and choose the optimal validator
* Value Add to the Ecosystem: When choosing a validator, we are looking for providers that offer additional services to their delegators, such as tax reporting tools and explorers. These value-added services can be an indicator of a validator's long-term commitment and dedication to the network
