# EVM Staking

> Native staking on EVM-compatible networks with unified action flows

Native staking on EVM networks using standardized action flows. Approvals are handled automatically where required.

<Info>
  For current availability, use the [Providers catalog](/api-reference/ProvidersController_getProviders) and filter by network. The docs describe the integration model; the API reflects live availability.

## Integration pattern

All EVM staking follows the same flow:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fetch yield metadata">
    Get required arguments and mechanics from the yield endpoint.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request action">
    Call `enter`, `exit`, or `manage` with the required arguments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign & submit">
    Execute ordered transactions (approvals first if required).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track balances">
    Monitor lifecycle states and pending actions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common EVM patterns

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Approval transactions">
    ERC-20 staking typically requires an approval transaction before the stake transaction. The API returns these as ordered steps — execute them sequentially.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Validator selection">
    Where applicable, staking yields accept a `validatorAddress` argument. Fetch available validators from the yield metadata or validators endpoint.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Gas estimation">
    The API returns gas estimates in the transaction object. Use these as starting points; adjust based on network conditions.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
