Solana: How to Create a Staking Account Using Solana Web3.js v2 and sola-program/stake

How ​​to Create a Stake Account with Web3.js v2

Solana is a fast, secure, and decentralized blockchain network that enables the creation of token-based applications. One of its key features is stake management, which allows users to participate in the network validation process by locking their tokens into a “stake.” In this article, we will walk you through the process of creating a stake account on the Solana platform using Web3.js v2 and the staking.sol contract.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have:

• Solana node installed (e.g. Solana CLI)

• Solana wallet installed (e.g. Solana Explorer or Solana CLI)

• @solana/web3.js package installed in your project (version 2.12.0 or later)

Install dependencies

To create a stake account, you need to install the following dependencies:

npm install @solana/web3.js staking.sol

Create a Stake Account

The staking.sol contract is responsible for managing stake accounts. Here is an example of how to create a new stake account:

const { Web3 } = require('@solana/web3.js');
const { Staking } = require(' staking .sol ' );
const web3 = new Web3();
// Create a new Solana node and set the cluster URL (e.g. "
const clusterUrl = '
// Create a new stake account
asynchronous function createStakeAccount() { .
const stakingProgramId = 'your-staking-program-id'; // Replace with your staking program ID
const keyPair = await web3.getKeypair();
const accounts = [ web3 . keypair ] ;
try {
const { lamports } = await stakingProgram. createStakeAccount ( { .
accounts,
lamportLimit : 1000000 , 1000000 .
stakeAmount : 10000 , // Sample stake amount in LAM
});
console.log('Stake account successfully created!');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
} }
} }
createStakeAccount();

In this example, we create a new stake account by calling the createStakeAccount function. We pass an options object with the following properties:

• lamportLimit: sets the maximum amount of lamoports that can be spent on token deposits or withdrawals

• stakeAmount: sets the initial amount of LAM to lock into the staking account

Staking.sol configuration

The staking.sol contract is responsible for managing the staking account. To configure staking, you need to create a new Staking instance and set its options:

const { Staking } = require(' staking .sol ' );
// Create a new stake account configuration object
asynchronous function createStakeConfig() {
const stakingProgramId = 'your-staking-program-id'; // Replace with your staking program ID
const keyPair = wait for web3.getKeypair();
const accounts = [ web3 . keypair ] ;
try {
const { lamports , stakeAmount } = wait for stakingProgram . createStakeConfig ( {
stakingProgramId,
accounts,
});
console.log('Stake configuration successfully created!');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
} }
} }
createStakeConfig();

In this example, we create a new Staking instance and call the createStakeConfig function to set its options. We pass an object with the following properties:

• stakingProgramId: sets the staking program ID

• accounts: sets the accounts that will be used to manage stakes

Test Stake Account

To test your staking account, you can use the Solana CLI:

solana stake < your - program - ID - stakes > --port < port - stakes >

Replace with your actual staking program ID and with your Solana node port number.

Conclusion

In this article, we have covered the process of creating a staking account in Solana using Web3.js v2 and the staking.sol contract.
