The Aggregated Unstaking flow allows you to unstake ETH from multiple validators at once. You can use this flow either to broadcast PSETs or request validators to be exited On Demand. Review the difference in the guide.

Initialize Unstaking Flow

To initiate the aggregated staking process, create a new flow with a POST request to /api/v1/flows.

URL

https://api.figment.io/flows

Request

protocol* : string Protocol this flow operates on (ethereum).
network* : string Network this flow operates on (mainnet, holesky or goerli).
operation* : string The operation to perform (aggregated_unstaking).

{
  "protocol": "ethereum",
  "network": "holesky",
  "operation": "aggregated_unstaking"
}

Response

id : string ID of the newly created flow.
operation : string The operation to perform (aggregated_unstaking).
state : string The state of the flow (initialized).
actions : array An array of action objects containing the name, inputs, and validations for advancing the flow with each action.
- perform_aggregated_unstake : Use this action to unstake your ETH from a maximum of 100 validators with a single request.
data: Data specific to this flow.
- exits: array An array of validator exit objects. Empty at this step since no validators have exited.
- estimated_principal_return_at: timestamp Estimate for when the validators' ETH will be returned to the withdrawal address. null at this step because no data has been submitted.
- withdrawal_address: string Withdrawal address pertaining to all validators being exited in this flow.
- amount: string Amount of ETH being unstaked. Divide by 32 to get number of validators being exited.
- transactions: array Empty for this flow since no user transactions are required.
protocol: string Protocol this flow operates on (ethereum).
network: string Network this flow operates on (mainnet, holesky or goerli).
created_at: timestamp When you created the flow.
updated_at: timestamp Last time the flow was updated by either your action or on-chain updates. Equal to created_at at this point.

Submit Unstaking Data (Option 1: On Demand Exit Transactions)

Use this section for submitted unstaking data if you wish to advance the flow with on demand demand exit transactions instead of broadcasting PSETs. PUT the URL to advance the flow and exit your validators.

URL

https://api.figment.io/flows/:id/next

Request

name* : string Name of the action to execute (perform_aggregated_unstake).
inputs* : object Data required to advance the flow.
- withdrawal_address* : string All validators being exited must have this withdrawal address.
- amount* : Amount of ETH to unstake. Must be a multiple of 32 less than or equal to 3200.

    "amount": 3200
  }
}

Response

The aggregated unstaking flow will exit enough validators to unstake your full amount, provided that they all belong to the supplied withdrawal address. The flow state will become broadcasting until Figment manually approves the validator exits (within 24-72 business hours) when the flow's state will change to broadcasted. Refer to the guide Ethereum Validator Lifecycle for details.

Get Unstaking Flow

To get the current state of the existing flow, send a GET request to /flows/[:flow_id] using the flow ID from the previous step.

Request

None

Response

id : string ID of the flow.
operation : string The Staking API operation being performed by this flow.
state : string The current state of the flow. The flow state will move to exiting when the validators have joined the exit queue, withdrawing when the validators have left the exit queue and unstaked when all validators have been withdrawn.
- Refer to the Ethereum Validator Lifecycle guide for more information.
actions : array It includes the name & inputs of all next possible actions.
data : object Flow & transaction data.
- exits : array One object per validator being exited.
  - validator_index : The validator index number.
  - validator_pubkey : The validator's public key.
  - epoch : The epoch in which the SignedVoluntaryExit was generated, whether in a PSET or On Demand.
  - status : One of (broadcast_scheduled, broadcasting, broadcasted, exited_queue, or withdrawal_done) depending on the current status of the SignedVoluntaryExit being broadcasted.
  - source : Describes where the SignedVoluntaryExit came from. internal if using Option 1, external if using Option 2.
- estimated_principal_return_at : Indicates the (estimated) latest time that all unstaked ETH will be swept to the withdrawal address. This is subject to change depending on the state of the cahin, and withdrawals can complete before or after this time.
- withdrawal_address : The withdrawal address for validators being unstaked.
- amount : A multiple of 32 ETH, maximum of 3200.
- transactions : Since there are no transactions signed in this flow, this array will always be empty.
