Delegate

Staking ATOM is a simple process. We will collect:

The delegator_address from which ATOM is being delegated, which will sign the transaction.
The validator_address to which ATOM is delegated (Figment's is: cosmosvaloper1hjct6q7npsspsg3dgvzk3sdf89spmlpfdn6m9d)
The amount of ATOM to be delegated.
An optional memo to identify the transaction.
An optional gas_limit and gas_price in ATOM.

In the following guide we will illustrate how to stake ATOM.

Create New Staking Flow

To initiate the staking process, create a new flow with a POST request to /flows.

URL

https://api.figment.io/flows

Request

protocol* : string Protocol this flow operates on (ex. cosmos).
network* : string Network this flow operates on (ex. testnet).
operation* : string The operation to perform (ex. staking).

JSON

{
  "protocol": "cosmos",
  "network": "testnet",
  "operation": "staking"
}

Response

id : string ID of the flow.
operation : string The Staking API operation being performed by this flow.
state : string The current state of the flow.
actions : array It includes the name & inputs of all next possible actions.
create_delegate_tx: Use this action to generate a delegation transaction to stake your ATOM.
delegator_address : The address from which ATOM will be delegated.
- validator_address : The validator address to which ATOM will be delegated.
- amount : The amount of ATOM to be delegated.
- memo : an optional message to record on-chain with your transaction.
- gas_limit: the total amount of gas you're willing to let this transaction consume.
If you do not include this, we'll use a Cosmos library to select a good default for you.
- gas_price: how many ATOM you're willing to pay per unit of gas consumed by this transaction.
If you do not include this, we'll use a Cosmos library to select a good default for you.
- pubkey : Pubkey value will be retrieved from the chain but if you're using a fresh account (that does not have any outgoing activity) then this information is not available and it requires the user to pass it.
data : object Flow & transaction data.
