Actions & lifecycle

Enter

• Call /actions/enter with yield ID and required arguments
• ETH staking: single transaction (no approval needed for native ETH)
• ERC-20 staking: approval transaction + stake transaction
• Execute transactions in order returned by API
• Position becomes active after confirmation

Exit

• Call /actions/exit with amount to withdraw
• ETH staking: withdrawal queue timing varies by provider
• POL/MATIC staking: 2-day unbonding period
• GRT staking: 28-day thawing period
• Track unstaking balance type until claimable

Manage

• Claim rewards (where applicable)
• Redelegate to different validator (MATIC, GRT)
• Check pendingActions in balances response

Operational notes

ETH staking provider selection

Different providers have different terms, fee structures, and SLAs. Consult your account team for institutional provider recommendations.

Validator selection (MATIC, GRT)

Use the validators endpoint to fetch available validators with performance metrics before staking.

APE NFT staking

NFT-based staking requires ownership of the corresponding NFT. Token IDs must be provided in the action arguments.

Shield recommendation

For institutional flows, validate unsigned transactions with Shield before signing.
