Tezos staking

Delegate your entire XTZ balance to a baker with no unbonding period and auto-compounded rewards.

Delegate XTZ to a Tezos baker through the Yield API. Tezos staking delegates the account’s full available balance in one action; there is no unbonding period.

Yields

Yield ID	Staking type	Provider	Validator selection
tezos-xtz-native-staking	Native	Baker you choose	Required (validatorAddress)

Key facts

Network ID	tezos
Staked token	XTZ
Unbonding	None
Warmup	None
Minimum	Full-balance delegation only (amount uses the -1/-1 full-balance convention)
Rewards	Auto-compounded, updated every block

Enter and exit

Enter takes amount (fixed to the full-balance convention) and requires additionalAddresses.tezosPubKey; a reveal operation runs first if the address has not yet published its public key on chain, then the whole available balance delegates to the baker in validatorAddress. Exit removes the existing delegation and takes no arguments beyond the account address and tezosPubKey.

Enter also requires validatorAddress, the baker you delegate to. The enter argument schema returned by the API doesn’t currently list it, but the request fails without it.

Entering fails if the address is already delegated; exiting fails if it is not currently delegated.
