Sign and Broadcast Transaction

To complete any bonding or withdrawal operation on Aptos, sign the unsigned transaction provided by the Staking API and broadcast it to the network.

1. Prepare the transaction

Retrieve an unsigned serialized transaction from the relevant API endpoint, e.g., /staking/delegated/add,/staking/delegated/reactivate, /staking/delegated/withdraw.

2. Sign the transaction

Use the P2P Signer SDK to sign the unsigned data following protocol specific configuration.

3. Send the transaction

Send the signed transaction to the Aptos network by making a POST request to /api/v1/aptos/{network}/transaction/send.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/aptos/mainnet/transaction/send \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --head 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
