Getting Started
Process Overview
The Unified API is designed to simplify and standardize interactions across all supported networks. Whether you are staking or unstaking assets, the process follows a consistent and straightforward flow, ensuring seamless integration for all networks.
Each network integration follows 3 key operations:
stake
: Initiate a staking transaction to delegate your assets.unstake
: Initiate an unstaking transaction, beginning the process of withdrawing your assets.withdraw
: Complete the process by withdrawing the unstaked assets to your wallet.
How It Works
For each operation—staking, unstaking, and withdrawing—the Unified API returns an unsigned transaction. Here's how the flow works:
- Transaction Preparation: The API generates a raw unsigned transaction for your desired operation (
stake
,unstake
, orwithdraw
). - Transaction Signing: You sign the transaction using your preferred method. We provide separate, detailed instructions for transaction signing tailored to various networks.
- Transaction Broadcasting: Use the API’s dedicated
broadcast
method to submit the signed transaction to the network.
Network-Specific Details
While the process remains consistent, the distinction between networks lies in the specific POST
request parameters required.
In the following article, we’ll cover the integration process for the solana
chain and testnet
network.
For details on other networks, refer to the Networks .
Prerequisites
Chain and Network Mapping refers to the mapping table on the overview page for detailed information.

Staking Flow
Step 1. Create Staking Transaction
Send a POST request to https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/unified/staking/stake.
Example request:
curl --request POST \
--url https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/unified/staking/stake \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--data '{
"chain": "solana",
"network": "testnet",
"stakerAddress": "9i5cTqci1W6DHdYfT7WbiNhP5DXvnPNTXvS9fTBFfuSw",
"amount": "1002282880"
}'
chain
— defines the target blockchain network. In this case, solana specifies the Solana blockchain.network
— specifies the environment:mainnet
for production use.testnet
for development and testing purposes (as used here).
stakerAddress
— serves as a unified input for multiple Solana parameters:feePayer
— the account responsible for paying transaction fees.fromPublicKey
— the account used to create the staking account.stakeAuthority
— grants permissions for staking operations (defaults to fromPublicKey if not explicitly provided).withdrawAuthority
— grants permissions for withdrawal operations (defaults to fromPublicKey if not explicitly provided).
amount
— the stake amount in lamports (1 SOL = 10^9 lamports).- Example:
1002282880
lamports = 1.00228288 SOL. - Minimum allowed amount:
1002282880
lamports.
