The single nominator pool is an alternative type of the TON smart contract designed for validators that have enough self stake to validate by themselves without relying on third-party nominators stakes.

To start using the Staking API and nominate individually with a validator on the TON network:

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

Get an authentication token to start using Staking API.

Request examples are provided using cURL.

To create a stake transaction:

1. Send a POST request to /api/v1/ton/{network}/staking/single-nominator/stake.

   Example request (for testnet network):

   cURL

   curl --request POST \
        --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/ton/testnet/staking/single-nominator/stake \
        --header 'accept: application/json' \\
    		 --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \\
    		 --header 'content-type: application/json' \\
    		 --data '
   {
     "walletAddress": "EQCJkysqW3iwTGXDsC7BaCMxsFN3cBt9S6X8TS3V6FB5l4nB",
     "amount": "1000000"
   }'
   

   • walletAddress — main account address of the bounceable type which keeps tokens.

   • amount — amount of tokens to stake in TON. Note that the minimum staking amount is not limited, but there is a maximum cap of 2 000 000 TON for each pool.
