New Calidus Pool-Key for SPOs and Services interacting with Pools

How can i participate already?

Mod-Edit: for CLI examples please look at the updated post below

The tooling is already there, you can use cardano-signer to generate the needed registration-metadata.json file.

The registration on MainNet is live, but please if you wanna do some testing, help us by registering your Calidus Pool-Key on Preview-Testnet for your Preview-Stakepool too!

SPOs on the Preview-Testnet, please help us to test out this new key and submit your registration metadata for your PreView pool on the tesnet. :folded_hands:

You only need two commands to generate the registration metadata json file:

Generate your new Calidus Key-Pair

cardano-signer keygen --path calidus \
  --out-skey my.calidus.skey \
  --out-vkey my.calidus.vkey \
  --json-extended

Remember the given Mnemonics in the JSON for later import in a LightWallet of your choice.

Generate the registration metadata signed by your pool key

cardano-signer sign --cip88 \
  --calidus-public-key my.calidus.vkey \
  --secret-key my.pool.skey \
  --json \
  --out-file calidus-registration-metadata.json

You can than use this metadata.json file in a transaction on the cli or simply copy it into eternl-wallet as a custom metadata and submit it in a transaction on the preview testnet.

More details on the generation can be found here.

Registration on the Preview-Testnet can already be checked via the koios api:

curl -s "https://preview.koios.rest/api/v1/pool_calidus_keys"

you can use filtering like

curl -s "https://preview.koios.rest/api/v1/pool_calidus_keys?pool_status=eq.registered"

or

curl -s "https://preview.koios.rest/api/v1/pool_calidus_keys?pool_id_bech32=eq.pool1w83ux7vrwafrsuz044knxl9xxtr38q5jj2l3p28fl3g26faqqwg"

Feel free to ask questions in this thread.

Thank you very much!
