You can decode transactions using the Transaction Decoder

Create Stake Account

This creates a new stake account and returns a delegating transaction for you to sign.

[API Ref] POST /solana/stake

Sign & Broadcast the Transaction

Sign the transaction with the signing methods of your custody solutions. Examples:

Once signed, broadcast the signed transaction and check transaction status via Figment API.

Track Stake Accounts Activation

This returns a list of all your stake accounts, with on-chain status and balances.

Track Rewards

Returns rewards (protocol and MEV) and balances for all stake accounts, broken down by epoch and staking account.

[API Ref] POST /solana/rewards

Claim MEV Rewards

Withdraw JITO MEV rewards (shown as inactive balance on-chain) from an active stake account. The endpoint returns a withdraw transaction for you to sign and broadcast.

[API Ref] POST /solana/withdraw

To auto-compound the MEV rewards you withdrawn, create a new stake account to stake it. The endpoint returns a delegating transaction for you to sign and broadcast.

[API Ref] POST /solana/stake

Manage Stake Accounts

Merge two active stake accounts. This step is optional. The endpoint returns a merge transaction for you to sign and broadcast.

[API Ref] POST /solana/merge

Split a stake account. This endpoint is useful if you want to undelegate a specific amount, while keeping the rest delegated. After splitting, undelegate the new child account. The endpoint returns a split transaction for you to sign and broadcast.

[API Ref] POST /solana/split

Undelegate

This returns an unsigned transaction to undelegate SOL from an active stake account. Sign and broadcast the undelegation transaction.

[API Ref] POST /solana/undelegate

This returns an unsigned transaction to withdraw the SOL from your deactivated stake account. Sign and broadcast the withdraw transaction.
