Cosmos

Unified API + Cosmos Integration Workflow

In the following guide, the integration process for the cosmos chain is covered. The Cosmos integration aligns with the general Unified API process but with network-specific parameters.

Get an authentication token to start using the Unified API.

Request examples are provided using cURL.

To check the integration guides for other chains, refer to the Networks Supported section.

Key Cosmos-specific details

  • chain — always set to cosmos for Cosmos-related requests.
  • network — environment in which the transaction is processed: cosmoshub-4 only.
  • stakerAddress — account address initiating staking, unstaking or withdrawal transactions.
  • amount — amount of tokens in ATOM (in uATOM internally).

Staking Flow

1. Create Stake Request

Send a POST request to /api/v1/unified/staking/stake.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/unified/staking/stake \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --data '{
    "chain": "cosmos",
    "network": "cosmoshub-4",
    "stakerAddress": "cosmos1tmpp633vf37d67lqnyuxw5a8lvvdaqksa0x0aq",
    "amount": "0.0042"
}'
  • chain — blockchain network, always set to cosmos for Cosmos-related requests.
  • network — environment in which the transaction is processed: cosmoshub-4 only.
  • stakerAddress — account address initiating the staking transaction.
