Staking

Staking on Hyperliquid involves moving HYPE from your spot balance to staking, delegating it to the Luganodes validator, and signing the unsigned transaction returned by the API. Once broadcast and confirmed, your HYPE is staked and begins earning rewards

Hyperliquid Staking Guide

Staking (Transfer + Delegate)

1. Call Transfer API with { amount, delegatorAddress } to move HYPE from your Spot balance into your Staking balance.

2. Call Delegate API with { amount, delegatorAddress } to delegate the staking balance to the Luganodes validator (a 1-day lock applies).

---

Unstaking (Undelegate + Withdraw)

1. Call Undelegate API with { amount, delegatorAddress } to undelegate tokens after the lock period has passed. This starts the 7-day unbonding period.

2. After 7 days, call Withdraw API with { amount, delegatorAddress } to move your tokens back from Staking balance into Spot balance.

Checking Balances

• Call Balance API with delegatorAddress to view your Spot balance, Staking balance, Delegated balance, Pending withdrawals, and delegation status (Active, Locked, Undelegating).

💡 Note: Each call returns an unsigned transaction. You must sign it client-side with the user’s wallet and broadcast it using the Broadcast API.
