Request Body

In the request body you need to specify the following:

• amount: The amount of SOL you want to stake
• validator_address: The public address of the validator node that you intend to delegate your tokens to
• delegator_address: The address sending the funds to be staked
• staking_authority(optional): The stake authority can be considered the manager of the stake account. It is used to sign transactions for the following operations but doesn’t have control over the funds:
  • Delegating stake
  • Deactivating the stake delegation
  • Splitting the stake account (creating a new stake account with a portion of the funds)
  • Merging two stake accounts into one
  • Setting a new stake authority
  • Note:  When not specified, this will default to the delegator_address
• withdrawal_authority (optional): The withdraw authority is used to sign transactions for the following operations:
  • Withdrawing an un-delegated stake into a wallet address
  • Setting a new withdrawal authority
  • Setting a new stake authority (thus, the withdrawal authority is the ultimate owner of the account)
  • Note: When not specified, this will default to the delegator_address

Authentication Using API Key as an X-API-Key

When signing up for a staking account, you are provided with an API key.

To authenticate a Staking API request, pass your API key in the X-API-Key header:

curl -X POST \
'https://svc.blockdaemon.com/boss/v1/solana/mainnet/stake-intents' \
-H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"amount": "100", "validator_address": "5xot9PVkphiX2adznghwrAuxGs2zeWisNSxMW6hU6Hkj", "delegator_address": "5xot9PVkphiX2adznghwrAuxGs2zeWisNSxMW6hU6Hkj", "staking_authority": "5xot9PVkphiX2adznghwrAuxGs2zeWisNSxMW6hU6Hkj", "withdrawal_authority": "5xot9PVkphiX2adznghwrAuxGs2zeWisNSxMW6hU6Hkj"}'
