Stake FIO Tokens

post

https://test.fio.eosusa.io/v1/chain/stake_fio_tokens

This action stakes FIO Tokens. User can stake any available FIO Token amount in their account at any point in time. To stake, the account has to be voting for at least 1 BP or proxying/auto-proxying. The auto-proxy can be acomplished in this action by passing a TPID which is also a proxy.

The FIO Tokens do not actually leave the user's account, but are instead "locked" and cannot be spent until unstaked.

When tokens are staked, they cannot be transferred, used to pay a FIO Chain fee, or locked. Tokens that are Staked do count towards voting power of account.

When user stakes FIO Tokens they "exchange" FIO Tokens for Staking Reward Points (SRPs) at then current Rate of Exchange (ROE). SRP is not an actual token and cannot be transferred. It simply acts as a representation of future staking rewards and is attached to the account which is staking.

See Staking FIO Tokens Guide for more information.

SDK Sandbox Example

Body Params

amount

integer

required

Amount of FIO Tokens to stake in SUFs.

fio_address

string

required

length between 3 and 64

FIO Handle is required if using bundled transactions to pay. May be left empty if paying a fee instead. It used to be called FIO Address, so you will still see it referred to as such.

max_fee

integer

required

Defaults to 10000000000000

Maximum amount of SUFs the user is willing to pay for on-chain fee. Should be preceded by /get_fee for correct value.

Alternatively, you can set this number to a very high value, e.g. 10000000000000, since the user will only be charged the actual amount of the fee.

See

tpid

string

Defaults to vitalik@safu

See Transaction Provider ID (TPID) Guide for more information.
