Overview

Staking API now supports seamless integration with the Babylon suite of protocols, enabling the following key benefits:

• Ability to lock Bitcoin in a self-custodian vault to initiate the staking process via our API.
• Ability to stake Bitcoin on Babylon and more PoS blockchains in the future.

The staking process using the Staking API consists of the following steps:

1. Create a stake transaction.
2. Sign and send the transaction to the network.

Please note

The Babylon mainnet is currently under release and will be launched in three phases:

1. Bitcoin Locking: stakers can deposit and lock Bitcoins, but will not receive a reward directly.
2. Bitcoin Staking Activation: the PoS network is going to be launched.
3. Bitcoin Multi-Staking Activation: stakers will be able to natively stake the same bitcoins across multiple PoS systems simultaneously and earn multiple staking rewards.

Only phase 1 is currently active.

We provide two distinct endpoints for testing and production environments.

• PRODUCTION: https://api.p2p.org
• TESTING: https://api-test.p2p.org

For Babylon, there are several networks available:

• mainnet — Babylon main production environment and Bitcoin mainnet (only locking BTC is currently available).
• testnet — Babylon testing environment and Bitcoin testnet called sigNet.
