Create a stake pool

Register stake pool

Cold key and vrf key were imported from the cardano-cli. The cold key is necessary to add a required witness to the transaction and the vrf key needs to be added to the pool parameters.

/** StakePoolSigningKey_ed25519 cborHex from the cardano-cli */
const coldKey = C.PrivateKey.from_bytes(
  fromHex(
    "58204de30f983ed860524d00059c7f2b1d63240fba805bee043604aa7ccb13d387e9",
  ),
);

/** VrfVerificationKey_PraosVRF cborHex from the cardano-cli */
const vrfKeyHash = C.VRFVKey.from_bytes(
  fromHex(
    "5820c9cf07d863c8a2351662c9759ca1d9858b536bab50ad575b5de161e1af18f887",
  ),
).hash().to_hex();

const poolId = coldKey.to_public().hash().to_bech32("pool");

const rewardOwnerAddress = await lucid.wallet.rewardAddress();

  relays: [{ type: "SingleHostIp", ipV4: "123.456.789.0", port: 3000 }],
  metadataUrl: "https://...", // metadata needs to be hosted already before registering the pool
};

const tx = await lucid.newTx()
  .registerPool(poolParams).complete();

const signedTx = await tx.sign()
  .signWithPrivateKey(coldKey.to_bech32())
  .complete();

const txHash = await signedTx.submit();

Retire stake pool

const retirementEpoch = 100;

const tx = await lucid.newTx()
  .retirePool(poolId, retirementEpoch)
  .complete();

const signedTx = await tx.sign()
  .signWithPrivateKey(coldKey.to_bech32())
  .complete();

const txHash = await signedTx.submit();
