Luganodes’ Hyperliquid Staking API

Introduction

Luganodes is proud to introduce the Hyperliquid Staking API, a streamlined, programmatic interface for staking HYPE directly with the Luganodes validator. Designed for developers and institutions, the API enables seamless staking, delegation, and reward accrual all while maintaining full client-side key custody.

With this API, users can move tokens from their spot balance to staking, delegate to the Luganodes validator, and begin earning rewards with a single, secure workflow. Every API call returns an unsigned transaction that must be signed on the client side, ensuring that sensitive keys remain fully under user control.

API Overview and Features

The Hyperliquid Staking API provides a complete lifecycle for HYPE staking: from delegation to unbonding and withdrawal. It’s optimized for institutional staking workflows, enabling high security, transparency, and automation.

Core Operations:

• Stake (Transfer + Delegate):
  Move HYPE from your spot balance into staking and delegate directly to the Luganodes validator. Delegations carry a 1-day lock period, after which rewards begin accruing.

• Unstake (Undelegate + Withdraw):
  After the lock period, undelegate your tokens to begin a 7-day unbonding process. Once completed, you can withdraw tokens back into your spot balance for full liquidity.

• Balance Tracking:
  Query balances and delegation status at any time — including spot, staking, delegated amounts, pending withdrawals, and delegation status (Active, Locked, or Undelegating).

• Broadcast:
  Securely sign transactions client-side and broadcast them to the Hyperliquid network. Keys are never shared with Luganodes or stored server-side.

Security by Design

The API is built with non-custodial principles:

• Unsigned Transactions: Every API call generates an unsigned transaction, requiring explicit client-side signing before broadcast.

• Full Key Control: Users retain private keys entirely within their environment.

• Institutional Safeguards: By abstracting validator delegation to the Luganodes validator, institutions can confidently automate staking without operational complexity.

Developer-Friendly Workflow

Integrating staking is as simple as sending an API request and signing the response. A typical workflow looks like this:

1. Transfer tokens into staking balance

2. Delegate to Luganodes validator

3. Sign the returned transaction with your wallet

4. Broadcast to the Hyperliquid network

5. Track balances and delegation status

With just a few lines of code, developers can enable full staking and unstaking flows inside wallets, exchanges, or institutional dashboards.
