+# Babylon Staking API Service
+
+The Babylon Staking API Service provides a performant interface between Babylon
+Phase-2 and application layers. It transforms blockchain data for efficient
+access by dApps, serves network state information, and processes unbonding
+requests for Phase-1 delegations.
+
+> **Note:** Phase-1 delegations are now in maintenance mode.
+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+- **CPU:** Multicore processor (4 cores minimum)
+- **Memory:** Minimum 1GB RAM
+
+## Configuration
+
+### 1. Create Home Directory
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.staking-api-service/
+```
+
+### 2. Copy the Default Configuration
+```bash
+cp ~/staking-api-service/config/config-local.yml ~/.staking-api-service/config.yml
+```
+
+### 3. Update Default Configurations
+
+Edit the `config.yml` file to match your environment:
+
+#### MongoDB Cluster Connection
+Set the MongoDB connection address (`address`) and credentials (`username`,
+`password`, and `db-name`) to match the information from your installed MongoDB
+cluster.
+
+```yaml
+db:
+  address: "mongodb://localhost:27017/?directConnection=true"
+  username: "<username>"
+  password: "<password>"
+  db-name: "<db-name>"
+```
+
+#### RabbitMQ Cluster Connection
+Set the RabbitMQ connection address (`url`) and credentials (`queue_user` and
+`queue_password`) to match the information from your installed RabbitMQ cluster.
+
+```yaml
+queue:
+  queue_user: admin
+  queue_password: password
+  url: "localhost:5672"
+```
+
+#### Prometheus Metrics Configuration
+Set the host and port to customize how the metrics are exposed.
+
+```yaml
+metrics:
+  host: 0.0.0.0
+  port: 2112
+```
+
+### 4. Download Global Parameters
+
+To run the Staking API, a `global-params.json` file that defines all the
+staking parameters is needed.
+
+To download the global parameters, follow the instructions at:
+[Staking Parameters Documentation](https://docs.babylonlabs.io/docs/user-guides/bitcoin-staking-phase1/backend-deployment/global-params#staking-parameters)
+
+### 5. Download Finality Providers
+
+To run the Staking API, a `finality-provider.json` file that associates finality
+provider BTC public keys with additional information about them such as their
+moniker and commission is needed.
+
+To generate the concatenated finality providers information from Babylon
+registry, follow the instructions at:
+[Finality Providers Documentation](https://docs.babylonlabs.io/docs/user-guides/bitcoin-staking-phase1/backend-deployment/global-params#22-generating-concatenated-finality-provider-information)
+
+## Start the Service
+
+### Method A: Docker Deployment (Recommended)
+
+Runs the Staking API Service image from the official Babylon Docker Hub repository:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name staking-api-service \
+  -v ~/.staking-api-service/config.yml:/app/config.yml \
+  -v ~/.staking-api-service/global-params.json:/app/global-params.json \
+  -v ~/.staking-api-service/finality-providers.json:/app/finality-providers.json \
+  babylonlabs/staking-api-service:v1.0.0 \
+  --config /app/config.yml \
+  --params /app/global-params.json \
+  --finality-providers /app/finality-providers.json
+```
+
+This approach is recommended for production environments as it provides better
+isolation and simplified deployment.
+
+### Method B: Local Binary Execution
+
+#### 1. Clone the Repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/babylonlabs-io/staking-api-service.git
+```
+
+#### 2. Check Out the Desired Version
+You can find the latest release
+[here](https://github.com/babylonlabs-io/staking-api-service/releases).
+
+```bash
+cd staking-api-service
+git checkout tags/{VERSION}
+```
+
+#### 3. Install the Binary
+```bash
+make install
+```
+This command will build and install the binary to your GOPATH.
+
+#### 4. Start the Staking API Service
+You can start the Staking API Service by running:
+
+```bash
+staking-api-service --config ~/.staking-api-service/config.yml \
+--params ~/.staking-api-service/global-params.json \
+--finality-providers ~/.staking-api-service/finality-providers.json
+```
+
+## Create Systemd Service (Linux Only)
+
+#### 1. Create Systemd Service Definition
+Run the following command, replacing `system_username` with the appropriate
+system user or service account name:
+
+```bash
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/staking-api-service.service
+[Unit]
+Description=Staking API Service
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+ExecStart=$(which staking-api-service) \
+          --config /home/system_username/.staking-api-service/config.yml \
+          --params /home/system_username/.staking-api-service/global-params.json \
+          --finality-providers /home/system_username/.staking-api-service/finality-providers.json
+Restart=on-failure
+User=system_username
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+```
+
+#### 2. Reload Systemd Configuration
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+#### 3. Enable the Service at Boot
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable staking-api-service.service
+```
+
+#### 4. Start the Service
+```bash
+sudo systemctl start staking-api-service.service
+```
+
+#### 5. Verify the Service
+Check service status:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status staking-api-service.service
+```
+
+Expected log output:
+```

+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+The service exposes Prometheus metrics through a Prometheus server. By default,
+it is available at the address configured in the metrics configuration section
+(0.0.0.0:2112). Configure the metrics endpoint in your configuration file as
+needed.
+
+## Backup  
+
+The Staking API Service is stateless, so no backups are needed.
