Overview

Fireblocks allows you to add and use external validators when staking via the Fireblocks Console or the Fireblocks API. This feature does not apply when staking via Raw Signing or Web3 connections.

You can use validators from other staking partners or validators you’ve created. Using external validators provides you with greater flexibility when choosing who oversees your staking positions on-chain. If you want to use your own validator, you are responsible for setting up and maintaining it.

You can use the validators you’ve added to stake the following assets:

• MATIC
• SOL

Adding your validators

Contact your Customer Success Manager or Sales representative to purchase the feature and add your validators. You can add up to five validators for your workspace.

Make sure to provide the following information in your request:

• Tenant id and name of workspace where you want to use your own validator
• Staking provider name
• Blockchain where your validator operates
• Validator address
• Validator logo (optional)
• Validator on-chain commission (optional)

Updating your TAP

You must create new staking rules in your Transaction Authorization Policy (TAP) that allow you to stake with your validators. When creating a TAP rule with the Stake operation type, go to Destination > Staking destinations and select your validator(s) from the list.

Staking with your validators

After the feature is purchased and enabled for your workspace, Fireblocks will add your validators to the list of staking providers in the Fireblocks Console. Simply select the newly added validator when initiating a staking position on the Staking page.

If you’re staking via the Fireblocks API, enter your validator’s providerId when using our staking endpoints.
