Register stake key

When registering a stake key with the Cardano network, a deposit of 2 ADA is required. This deposit acts as a pledge and is temporarily deducted from the wallet balance.

const tx = await lucid.newTx().registerStake(rewardAddress).complete();

For script stake credentials that require a certificate witness, attach the certificate validator and pass the registration redeemer:

const tx = await lucid
  .newTx()
  .attach.CertificateValidator(certificateValidator)
  .register.Stake(scriptRewardAddress, Data.void())
  .complete();

Omitting the redeemer uses the witnessless stake-registration certificate. Passing a redeemer uses the witnessed registration certificate and attaches the matching certificate validator.

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

Delegate to a stake pool

Delegating to a stake pool involves associating your stake key with a pool identified by its unique ID.

const tx = await lucid
  .newTx()
  .delegateTo(rewardAddress, "poolabc...")
  .complete();

const tx = await lucid
  .newTx()
  .registerAndDelegate.ToPool(rewardAddress, "poolabc...")
  .complete();

Withdraw rewards

Allows the wallet holder to claim any rewards accumulated through staking. The rewards are withdrawn to the wallets balance.

const delegation = await lucid.wallet().getDelegation();
 
const tx = await lucid
  .newTx()
  .withdraw(rewardAddress, delegation.rewards)
  .complete();
