<p>It’s been about a month since the Unified API went live. No big announcement. No loud campaign. Just a quiet rollout of something we knew would solve a painful, structural problem: fragmented staking infrastructure across chains.</p><p>The Unified API replaces the patchwork of chain-specific staking integrations with a single, standardized interface. That means one integration that unlocks the complete staking flow across Ethereum (SSV), Solana, TON, Babylon, Avail and many more chains (over 20 in fact).&nbsp;</p><p>And critically, it’s already working in production offering staking at scale, with cleaner codebases, fewer edge cases, and dramatically reduced time-to-market for new network support.</p><h2 id="one-format-to-stake-them-all"><strong>One Format to Stake Them All</strong></h2><p>Historically, staking integrations have been a pain to maintain.&nbsp;</p><p>Each new network brings its own logic, signing requirements, and monitoring quirks. The result? High integration costs, inconsistent user experiences, and ongoing maintenance that scales linearly with the number of supported chains.</p><p>The Unified API breaks that pattern.</p><p>All networks supported via the API share the same structural request and response format. Stake Solana or Babylon, or Ethereum via SSV; it doesn’t matter. The staking flow is the same. Your backend logic stays clean. Your frontend doesn’t need to be rebuilt. Adding a new chain no longer means writing new infrastructure.</p><p>And since we abstract away the underlying validator infrastructure, your team can stay focused on user experience, while P2P.org ensures network-level performance and uptime.</p><h2 id="already-live-already-delivering"><strong>Already Live, Already Delivering</strong></h2><p>The past month has been proof that the Unified API is a production-grade infrastructure. Teams already using it have reported dramatic reductions in dev effort per chain, and faster rollout cycles for new staking products.</p><p>With built-in support for key networks and more coming, including up to 30 by Q3 2025, the Unified API is designed to scale as your ambitions grow. Whether you’re launching a new staking product or expanding an existing one, the integration effort remains the same: connect once, access everything.</p><p>We’re also continuing to refine what the API can do. Features like tracking the status of the staking position and audit history are already in development.</p><p>For developers, we've already shipped a new <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@p2p-org/signer-sdk?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Signer SDK</a>, providing transaction signing logic for all supported networks.</p><h2 id="built-for-real-world-teams"><strong>Built for Real-World Teams</strong></h2><p>This wasn’t designed as a theoretical abstraction. It was built in response to the operational friction our partners experienced over the years of scaling staking infrastructure.</p><p>The Unified API offers:</p><ul><li>A faster way to support multiple networks</li><li>A consistent staking UX across protocols</li><li>Less complexity for dev teams</li><li>A direct path to revenue for platforms offering staking-as-a-service<br></li></ul><p>It’s infrastructure, but opinionated. Lightweight, but extensible. And more importantly, it’s here, it’s working, and it’s growing.</p><h2 id="explore-the-unified-api"><strong>Explore the Unified API</strong></h2><p>If your team is working on a staking dashboard, DeFi aggregator, or wallet app, and you’re tired of managing five different staking SDKs, it’s time to streamline.</p><p>The Unified API is ready now. The question is: how many networks do you want to support this quarter?</p><p>→ <a href="https://docs.p2p.org/docs/contacts?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=API+blog_10.07#/"><u>Request access or book a demo</u></a></p><p>→ <a href="https://docs.p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=API+blog_10.07#/"><u>See documentation</u></a></p>
