How to participate?

Pre-requisites

To run the poll governance subcommands, a version of cardano-cli with governance poll subcommand support is required. There are few options available to you:

1. Checkout and build input-output-hk/cardano-node@8.0.0-untested

2. Checkout and build CardanoSolutions/cardano-node@release/1.35+cip-0094

3. Download pre-built binaries from CardanoSolutions/cardano-node@release/1.35+cip-0094, for a standard Linux system

Steps

1. Find an available poll

Available polls are listed in the table above. Alternatively, you can use the getPoll.sh script to look for specific polls submitted on-chain.

2. Create a poll answer

Use the cardano-cli governance answer-poll command to create an answer.

3. Build a transaction with metadata

Build a transaction using the poll answer as metadata. You'll also need to indicate your pool id as an extra required signatory.

4. Sign the transaction

The transaction must be signed using your cold key.

5. Submit the transaction

Finally, submit the transaction to the network.
