tip

Every endpoint on this page can be executed from the interactive Swagger console, using your own X-API-KEY.

The machine-readable OpenAPI schema is available at:

Staking OpenAPI schema

Authentication

In order to use the Staking API endpoints you need to include your API KEY.

tip

Heads up! To obtain a valid API key required for authentication, please refer to the Authentication > Create API keys section of the documentation.

Header:

Name	Description	Example value	Required
`X-API-KEY`	Your api key value	`<API_KEY_VALUE>`	✅
`X-NETWORK`	Blockchain network/chain identifier	`celestia`	⚪
`X-IDENTITY`	Caller-defined identity stored in the audit log	`user-1234`	⚪

X-NETWORK header

Use the X-NETWORK header to tell the API which Celestia network should process the request (e.g., celestia for mainnet, mocha-4 for the Mocha testnet).

info

X-NETWORK accepts the same identifier exposed as chain_id in the Cosmos Chain Registry. When the header is omitted the default Celestia network configured for your account will be used.

tip

Need support for another network? Reach out at [email protected].

X-IDENTITY header

Use the X-IDENTITY header to attribute a request to the end user or account acting through your integration. The value is caller-defined and is stored with the request in the audit log, so activity can be traced back to it later.

info

The header is optional and does not change the response. Prefer an opaque internal identifier such as a user ID or account reference over personal data like emails or names. If you omit it, the request is attributed only to your API key.

List available networks

If you are unsure which Celestia networks are enabled for your account you can ask the API directly.

Endpoint: /api/v1/celestia/native/networks

Each object in the response includes:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	✅	Internal name of the blockchain entry
`type`	string	✅	Blockchain type string (always `COSMOS`)
`chain_id`	string	✅	Chain identifier, same as the Cosmos Chain Registry `chain_id`
`is_default`	boolean	✅	`true` when this network is used as fallback

Example

curl "https://staking-api.stakely.io/api/v1/celestia/native/networks" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $STAKELY_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-NETWORK: celestia"

Response:

Staking information

Get the staking parameters of this protocol:

Endpoint: /api/v1/celestia/native/staking-info

Description

Staking parameters for Celestia mainnet: activation, deactivation and withdrawal times in minutes, fees, current APR/APY, slashing risk and stake limits. Served from an in-memory snapshot refreshed hourly.

Returned

Field	Type	Required	Description
`stake_activation_max_time`	number	✅	Maximum time, in minutes, for a new stake to become active and start accruing rewards. `0` means it is effective immediately.
`stake_deactivation_max_time`	number	✅	Maximum time, in minutes, for an unstake request to complete the unbonding/exit period. `0` means the stake is released immediately.
`withdrawal_max_time`	number	✅	Maximum time, in minutes, between a completed deactivation and the funds being spendable again. `0` means the funds are available as soon as the deactivation completes.
`staking_reward_fee`	number	✅	Aggregate fee charged on staking rewards, as a percentage of the rewards generated (validator commission plus any protocol fee).
`withdrawal_fee`	number	✅	Fee charged when withdrawing the stake, as a percentage of the withdrawn amount. Network transaction (gas) costs are not included.
`staking_apr`	number	✅	Current annual percentage rate (rewards without compounding), as a percentage.
`staking_apy`	number	✅	Current annual percentage yield (rewards with compounding), as a percentage.
`max_slashing_percentage`	number	✅	Maximum percentage of the staked amount that the protocol can slash. `0` means the protocol implements no slashing.
`min_stake_amount`	string	✅	Minimum amount that can be staked, as a decimal string in the native token of the chain.
`max_stake_amount`	string	✅	Maximum amount that can be staked, as a decimal string in the native token of the chain. `null` means the protocol enforces no upper limit.
`users`	number	✅	Number of addresses currently staking with Stakely on this chain. Live figure, refreshed hourly. `null` on protocol-scoped endpoints (liquid staking, vaults), because the feed only publishes this per chain and the chain-wide figure is not that protocol's.
`tvl_usd`	number	✅	Total value staked with Stakely on this chain, in USD. Live figure, refreshed hourly. `null` on protocol-scoped endpoints, for the same reason as `users`.
`tvl_token`	number	✅	Total value staked with Stakely on this chain, in the native token of the chain. Live figure, refreshed hourly. `null` on protocol-scoped endpoints, for the same reason as `users`.

Unified staking balance

Get the staking balance for the given address in the unified cross-protocol shape:

Endpoint: /api/v1/celestia/native/staking-balance/{address}

Description

Staking balance for an address in the unified cross-protocol shape, in TIA. Delegations are effective in the next block and unbonded funds are credited automatically, so activation and withdrawing are null. Each unbonding entry is listed as a staking object with its completion time; delegations have no id of their own and unstaking is amount-based, so the active stake contributes no objects.

Amounts are in TIA. The field names are the same on every protocol Stakely supports, so a single integration can read a position on any of them; a bucket that does not apply here is null.

Request parameters

Parameter	In	Type	Required	Description
`address`	path	string	✅	Celestia wallet address

Returned

Field	Type	Required	Description
`staked_amount`	number	✅	Stake that is currently active and earning rewards, in native token units.
`stake_activation_amount`	number	✅	Stake that has been delegated but is still warming up, in native token units. `null` when the protocol activates stake immediately.
`stake_deactivation_amount`	number	✅	Stake that is unbonding and has not completed its deactivation period yet, in native token units. `null` when the protocol has no unbonding period.
`stake_withdrawing_amount`	number	✅	Stake that finished deactivating and is waiting for a withdrawal transaction, in native token units. `null` when the protocol releases the funds automatically.
`stake_rewards_amount`	number	✅	Rewards that can be claimed, in native token units. `null` when the protocol compounds rewards into `staked_amount` instead of accruing them separately.
`staking_objects`	StakingObjectDto[]	✅	Individually addressable units that make up the position, normalised across protocols. The amounts above are the aggregate; these are the handles needed to act on the position, because protocols such as Solana and Sui require an object id to craft an unstake or withdraw transaction. `null` means the protocol exposes no addressable objects at all and every action is amount-based; an empty array means it does expose them and the address currently holds none. An object is only listed when the protocol publishes a real identifier for it, so the listed objects do not necessarily add up to the totals above.

Each item in staking_objects is a StakingObjectDto:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	✅	Identifier of this object on its protocol, passed back to the action endpoints of that protocol (see below).
`type`	StakingObjectType	✅	Whether the object holds stake (`delegation`) or represents an exit already requested (`withdrawal_request`).
`status`	StakingObjectStatus	✅	Lifecycle phase of the object. Objects sharing a status add up to the matching amount bucket of the response.
`amount`	number	✅	Principal held by this object, in native token units. `null` when it could not be read.
`rewards_amount`	number	✅	Rewards accrued by this object on top of its principal, in native token units. `null` when the protocol reports rewards only at address level, compounds them into the principal, or when they could not be derived.
`validator_address`	string	✅	Validator this object is delegated to, in the protocol native format (a vote account on Solana, a validator address on Sui). `null` when the protocol does not attribute the object to a single validator.
`activation_epoch`	number	✅	Epoch at which this object starts earning rewards. `null` on protocols that do not track activation per object.
`withdrawable_epoch`	number	✅	Epoch from which this object can be withdrawn. `null` on protocols whose withdrawal is time-based or that release funds automatically.
`withdrawable_at`	string	✅	ISO-8601 instant from which this object can be withdrawn. `null` on protocols whose withdrawal is epoch-based or that release funds automatically.

On Celestia the id is the unbonding entry id. Delegations have no id of their own and unstaking is amount-based, so the active stake contributes no objects and the listed ids are informational.

type values:

Value	Description
`delegation`	The object holds stake.
`withdrawal_request`	The object represents an exit that has already been requested.

status values:

Value	Description
`activating`	Warming up, not earning rewards yet. Adds up to `stake_activation_amount`.
`active`	Live and earning rewards. Adds up to `staked_amount`.
`deactivating`	Unbonding, deactivation period not finished. Adds up to `stake_deactivation_amount`.
`withdrawable`	Deactivated and waiting for a withdrawal transaction. Adds up to `stake_withdrawing_amount`.
`unknown`	The lifecycle phase could not be derived from the protocol data.
