Node Provisioning API

Dynamically provision nodes and receive staking transactions to sign.
What is the Node Provisioning API?
The Node Provisioning API allows partners to programmatically spin-up nodes for staking.  Partners specify the number of nodes needed and receive a transaction to sign that stakes with those node/s.

Provision multiple validators with a single API request and submit their deposits through an atomic transaction to our batching contract.
Getting Started
Before sending funds to the deposit contract, you MUST generate an ETH2 key pair to control your funds on the Ethereum 2.0 chain. This is required because Ethereum 2.0 uses BLS, a different form of cryptography than what is used on the current version of Ethereum.
You'll need to generate an ETH2 key pair before sending requests to our API. An ETH2 BLS key pair is the only way to claim ETH2 when transfers are enabled, and can be used for any number of validators.
For the purposes of this walkthrough, we'll use the prysmatic labs validator image to generate a withdrawal key pair. First, you'll need Docker installed, then head over to the command line. Navigate to a testing directory, create a subfolder named "data", and run the following command.
docker run -it -v "$PWD:/data" --network="host"   gcr.io/prysmaticlabs/prysm/validator:latest accounts create  --keystore-path=/data   --password=YourPassword
The above command will generate an ETH2 account and store it in your local filesystem. The command generates a validator address and deposit transaction as well, but all you need is the withdrawal key pair. A withdrawal key pair will be stored in your current working directory.

    ...
}
Now, you're ready to provision validators through our API!
The ETH2 API is in Alpha, meaning both endpoints and schema are subject to change. This document should be viewed as a general reference for integration flow in an upcoming stable release. For release notifications, click here.

Submit Transactions to the Batching Contract
The canonical ETH2 deposit contract, used to convert ETH1 to ETH2, only supports one deposit transaction at a time. Since 32 ETH is required for each validator, a depositor with 512 ETH would have to submit and broadcast 16 individual deposit transactions to the deposit contract. 
To simplify this process, we have created a batching contract which takes up to 20 deposit transactions at once and submits each to the deposit contract. Integrators can therefore stake up to 640 ETH in one Ethereum transaction, and leave behind the hassle of tracking many individually broadcasted transactions. If you want to stake more than 640 ETH in one transaction please contact us as we have tools to facilitate that as well.

Batching Contract ABI
BatchDeposit_Goerli.json - 274KB
The batching contract has an external payable function, batchDeposits, which is used for integrations. The function arguments are passed as an array where the data at [i] represents the arguments for deposit transaction i.
A list of provisioned validators with transaction data was returned in the previous API call. This data is now used to construct a transaction to the batching contract.

Dash
Automate provisioning of Dash masternodes.
Getting Started
Masternodes require exactly 1,000 DASH each. For testing purposes please email [email protected] for testnet Dash, or request it in the Dash Discord. Staked will support 2 masternodes per partner account in a testnet environment.
Each masternode requires an unspent transaction output (UTXO) of exactly 1,000 DASH. The address that owns this UTXO is the collateral address.
Instructions below assume use of the dash command line tool or debug console in the GUI wallet. If using the debug console, please remove dash-cli from the beginning of each command.
Create a new address to hold your masternode collateral.
dash-cli getnewaddress <address-alias>
Example
dash-cli getnewaddress masternode_collateral_1
Next, send exactly 1,000 Dash to your collateral address.
dash-cli sendtoaddress <address> <amount>
Example
dash-cli sendtoaddress yTrtvsNuVgezcGmcVyv2n8D2dFeJEHCYhg 1000
Get the transaction id and output index of the transaction you just created (you may need to wait up to 2 minutes until your transaction is added to a block).

  ...
}
​
A payout address is also needed and can be generated using the getnewaddress command. A single payout address can be shared across masternodes.
