Staking API: frictionless staking integration for your product
Staking has become a key feature for many companies offering digital assets. However, its implementation often involves technical and operational complexity that falls outside the core focus of most organizations.
At Stakely, we solve this complexity with our Staking API, allowing businesses to integrate staking across multiple networks without custodianship, infrastructure management, and with a production-ready integration.
How the Staking API works (technical overview)
The staking API is integrated through a single implementation and provides a multichain abstraction designed to deliver a stable and consistent service.
Integration can be done via direct HTTP calls or by using our SDKs in JavaScript and TypeScript. In both cases, the API is responsible for crafting the transaction payloads required for staking operations such as:
- Delegate (stake)
- Withdraw a delegation (unstake)
- Claim rewards
Staking API Technical Flow
The Staking API follows a self-serve model and is integrated through a single implementation. After reviewing the documentation and generating an API key, integration starts on testnet, using the API to build the necessary transaction payloads for staking, unstaking, and reward claiming operations.
These payloads are always signed outside of Stakely, either directly by the end user or by the client's chosen signing or custody system. Once signed, transactions are sent to the corresponding network and executed directly on-chain.
Once the flow is validated on testnet, the same implementation can be used in mainnet with no structural changes. Rewards are generated on-chain and deposited directly into the user’s wallet, with the revenue-share model applied as agreed.
Remember: Stakely never holds funds, private keys, or rewards at any point.
Which blockchains are supported?
The Staking API enables multichain staking. Some of the currently supported networks include Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Celestia, and Monad, with new networks being added progressively.
We also evaluate new integrations on demand, adapting to the technical needs of each project.
Why use Stakely’s Staking API
1. More than just an API: The Staking API is backed by our validator infrastructure, actively operating in production, providing real operational expertise behind the integration.
- High-availability infrastructure with SLA above 99.9%.
- 24/7 active validator monitoring and operation.
- Slashing protection and critical network event handling.
- Proven production-grade infrastructure offering real stability and responsiveness.
2. Multichain abstraction with clear endpoints: The API exposes consistent REST endpoints to integrate staking into existing products, reducing network-specific complexity. The documentation is tailored to technical teams and designed to minimize integration time.
3. Barrier-free economic model: There are no fixed monthly fees or integration charges. The model is purely based on revenue share from generated staking rewards. Tiered volume options and use-case-specific adjustments are also available.
4. Institutional-grade security: The architecture is built for regulated environments and meets high security standards: ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
5. Real technical support, 24/7: Access to 24/7 technical support from engineers actively operating integrated networks, along with clear and up-to-date documentation.
Who is the Staking API for?

Frequently Asked Questions about the Staking API
What operations will my users be able to perform?
Delegating tokens, claiming rewards, withdrawing delegations, and checking balances.
Do you custody the funds?
No. This is a completely non-custodial solution. Transactions are signed outside of Stakely.
How do I start integrating the Staking API?
By reviewing the documentation, signing up to get an API key, and first developing the flow on testnet, then on mainnet.
Is it safe to integrate the Staking API into my project?
Yes. It complies with institutional security standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
