Overview
Staking on the Polkadot 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:
-
Create a bonding request: submit a bond to the Polkadot network.
-
Create a nomination request: select validators within the Polkadot network.
-
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.
We provide two distinct endpoints for testing and production environments.
- PRODUCTION: https://api.p2p.org
- TESTING: https://api-test.p2p.org
For Polkadot, there are several networks available:
mainnet— Polkadot mainnetkusama— Kusama mainnetwestend— testnet environment
