Pledge not meet on pool registration, how to pledge?

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

Hi, I register a new pool, and set the pledge amount to 200 ADA, on the payment address I only had the 500 ADA for registering the pool, the problem now is that I have the active pledge with 0 ADA .
I didn’t find any documentation on how to add ADA to the pledge, and only have a payment and a stake address, I put ADA on the payment address but I don’t see it as active pledge on cardanoscan.io (GCHO Gaucho Quest - Cardanoscan) .

The posts I find on the forum talk about a pledge address that doesn’t exist on the actual Cardano documentation, how can I add ADA to the pledge ?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help !!

Hi,

Send 200 ADA to the payment address and should be fine… or submit another certificate with another pledge amount

The pledge will become active after 2 snapshoots but u can check on pool.pm by ticker if ur pool met the pledge

Cheers,

For others suffering a similar problem, the problem I had was that I followed the tutorial on https://developers.cardano.org/docs/operate-a-stake-pool/generating-wallet-keys that says that the procedure to make the payment account is:

cardano-cli address build \   
   --payment-verification-key-file payment.vkey \    
   --out-file payment.addr \    
   --mainnet

But that makes an ordinary payment address, I deposit my pledge there but I wasn’t showing.

Then I follow the step on Setting Up Payment and Stake Keys - CoinCashew than says that the payment address is made with the following command:

cardano-cli address build \
    --payment-verification-key-file payment.vkey \
    --stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey \
    --out-file payment.addr \
    --mainnet

The first command doesn’t have –stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey

Since it uses the same stake.vkey and payment.vkey that I made when registered the pool, I looks like it worked, so I transferred my pledge from the first address to the new, and now I see the pledge reflected on cardanoscan

PD: The new address is longer than the old
