Getting Started

Staking in the Solana network using the Staking API consists of several main steps:

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

Get an authentication token to start using Staking API.

A request example is provided using cURL.

1. Create Stake Transaction

Send a POST request to /api/v1/solana/{network}/staking/stake.

Example request (for testnet network):

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/solana/testnet/staking/stake \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
     {
       "feePayer": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
       "fromPublicKey": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
       "amount": "1002282880",
       "stakeAuthority": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
       "withdrawAuthority": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC"
     }'

feePayer — account address that will pay the fee for the transaction.
fromPublicKey — account address from which the staking account will be created.
amount — amount of tokens to stake in lamports (1 SOl = 10^9 lamports). Min amount is 1002282880.
stakeAuthority — account address that can perform staking operations with the staking account. If not specified, rights will be taken from the fromPublicKey parameter.
withdrawAuthority — account address that can perform withdrawal operations with the staking account. If not specified, rights will be taken from the fromPublicKey parameter.

Example response:

{
  "result": {
    "feePayer": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
    "fromPublicKey": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
    "stakeAccount": "6ZuLUCwVTvuQJrN1HrpoHJheQUw9Zk8CtiD3CEpHiA9E",
    "stakeAuthority": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
    "withdrawAuthority": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
    "amount": "1002282880",
    "unsignedTransaction": "0xac0406000b00487835a302032c6eca5cdaa3e87d7f8e06d10015bf0508b52d301c8991af113d5cf49a53553f",
    "createdAt": "2023-08-15T15:07:54.795Z"
  }
}

feePayer — account address that will pay the fee for the transaction.
fromPublicKey — account address from which the staking account will be created.
stakeAccount — account address that stores tokens for staking.
stakeAuthority — account address that can perform staking operations with the staking account.
withdrawAuthority — account address that can perform withdrawal operations with the staking account.
amount — amount of tokens to stake in lamports (1 SOL = 10^9 lamports). Min amount is 1002282880.
unsignedTransaction — unsigned transaction in Base64 encrypted format. Sign the transaction and submit it to the blockchain to perform the called action.
createdAt — timestamp of the transaction in the ISO 8601 format.

The transaction exists for one minute.

2. Sign and Send Transaction

Use unsignedTransaction to sign and send the signed transaction to the Solana network.

To check the transaction status, send a GET request to /api/v1/solana/{network}/account/staking.

Example request (for testnet network):

curl --request GET \
     --url https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/solana/testnet/account/staking?stakeAuthorities=C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC&withdrawAuthorities=C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json'

stakeAuthorities — list of account addresses that can perform staking operations with staking accounts.
stakeAccounts — list of staking account addresses.
withdrawAuthorities — list of account addresses that can perform withdrawal operations with the staking accounts.
status — staking account status: active, inactive, activating, deactivating.

Example response:

{
  "result": {
    "accounts": [
      "amount": 2282881,
      "stakeAccount": "1298uXQBW2azVA33UonLu2RoouDWkNqsV1rMUrQAy1SN",
      "withdrawAuthority": "C83GxcNFTC2tK22rLCCrLKYRkckbNVGsjethN5iswgfC",
      "stakeAuthority": "AaMC5y1RofbY3unyrahRzyCzsesp7rfGuaGegbAg1Hxb",
      "voteAccount": "FKsC411dik9ktS6xPADxs4Fk2SCENvAiuccQHLAPndvk",
      "status": "active"
    ]
  }
}
