Overview

Staking on the Avail network, also referred to bonding, using the Staking API is possible in two ways:

  • By staking directly
  • By staking via a nomination pool

The direct staking process consists of several steps:

  1. Create a bonding request: submit a bond to the Avail network.

  2. Create a nomination request: select validators within the Avail network.

  3. Add a staking proxy: delegate your staking rights to another account, which can then sign transactions on your behalf (optional).

Get an authentication token to start using Staking API in any of the flows.

We provide two distinct endpoints for testing and production environments.

For Avail, there are several networks available:

  • mainnet — Avail mainnet
  • testnet — Turing environment
