Verifying Stake Pool Operation

Your stake pool ID can be computed with:

air-gapped offline machine

cardano-cli stake-pool id --cold-verification-key-file $HOME/cold-keys/node.vkey --output-format hex > stakepoolid.txt
cat stakepoolid.txt

Copy stakepoolid.txt to your hot environment.

Now that you have your stake pool ID, verify it's included in the blockchain.

block producer node

cardano-cli query stake-snapshot --stake-pool-id $(cat stakepoolid.txt) --mainnet 

A non-empty string return means you're registered! 👏

With your stake pool ID, now you can find your data on block explorers such as https://pooltool.io/
