Solana RPC MethodsRemoved Methods

getStakeActivation (removed)

getStakeActivation calculated the active, inactive, and activating or deactivating stake for one stake account. Its final implementation accepted an optional epoch field but supported only the current epoch.

Removed RPC method

This method was removed in Agave v2.0 and has no single-method replacement.

Migration

Fetch and decode both the stake account and the StakeHistory sysvar account at SysvarStakeHistory1111111111111111111111111 with getAccountInfo. Obtain the current epoch with getEpochInfo, then derive activation from the stake delegation and decoded stake-history entries. The calculation must account for warmup and cooldown rather than comparing activation epochs alone.

To reproduce the legacy balances, keep the stake account's total lamports and the decoded Meta.rent_exempt_reserve in addition to the delegation. Set active to the effective stake returned by the activation calculation, then derive inactive with saturating subtraction:

inactive = account lamports - active - rent-exempt reserve

This includes undelegated lamports while excluding the reserve. For an initialized stake account with no delegation, set active to zero and use the same subtraction. Do not calculate inactive as only delegated stake minus effective stake.

If a legacy caller supplied epoch, require it to equal the current epoch; the final legacy RPC implementation rejected other values. Reconstructing activation at an older epoch requires archived stake-account and sysvar state from that epoch, which current getAccountInfo responses do not provide.

The stake activation reference implementation shows this multi-step replacement. If you expose the result through an API, cache epoch-level inputs rather than recomputing them for every account.
