Overview

Staking in the Polkadot network, also referred to bonding, using the Staking API consists of two main steps:

1. Create Bond Request: submit a bond to the Polkadot network in exchange for certain benefits.
2. Create Nomination Request: select validators within the Polkadot network.

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 — the main network.
• kusama — a canary network with a real economic value.
• westend — a testnet.
