The Avalanche Staking API automates generating stake transactions and finding the optimal staking period for validators. It eliminates the need to set up Avalanche nodes. You simply need to sign the transactions, adding minimal dependencies to your technology stack.

Choose your stake period (minimum 2 weeks). When the period ends, your funds are automatically returned.

Supported Networks

The Staking API supports the following Avalanche networks:

Mainnet

How to Use the Avalanche Staking API

To stake your funds with the Blockdaemon staking pool, you can use the Post Stake Intent endpoint.

This endpoint returns an unsigned transaction that needs to be signed and broadcast to the network. The signing should be done with the private key corresponding to the public key in the Stake Intent, which holds enough UTXOs for the stake amount.

If the staking period is not specified, the staking period will start now +5 minutes, and the end time will be the validator expiration time.
