Types
A Cardano Address
typically holding one or two credential references.
Note that legacy bootstrap addresses (a.k.a. ‘Byron addresses’) are completely excluded from Plutus contexts. Thus, from an on-chain perspective only exists addresses of type 00, 01, …, 07 as detailed in CIP-0019 :: Shelley Addresses.
Constructors
-
Address { payment_credential: PaymentCredential, stake_credential: Option<StakeCredential>, }
A general structure for representing an on-chain Credential
.
Credentials are always one of two kinds: a direct public/private key pair, or a script (native or Plutus).
Constructors
-
VerificationKey(VerificationKeyHash)
-
Script(ScriptHash)
A ‘PaymentCredential’ represents the spending conditions associated with some output. Hence,
- a
VerificationKey
captures an output locked by a public/private key pair; - and a
Script
captures an output locked by a native or Plutus script.
Alias
PaymentCredential = Credential
Represent a type of object that can be represented either inline (by hash) or via a reference (i.e. a pointer to an on-chain location).
This is mainly use for capturing pointers to a stake credential registration certificate in the case of so-called pointer addresses.
Constructors
-
Inline(a)
-
Pointer { slot_number: Int, transaction_index: Int, certificate_index: Int }
A StakeCredential
represents the delegation and rewards withdrawal conditions
associated with some stake address / account.
A StakeCredential
is either provided inline, or, by reference using an
on-chain pointer.
Read more about pointers in CIP-0019 :: Pointers.
Alias
StakeCredential = Referenced<Credential>
Functions
Constructing
Smart-constructor for an Address from a verification key hash. The resulting address has no delegation rights whatsoever.
Set (or reset) the delegation part of an Address using a verification key hash. This is useful when combined with from_verification_key
and/or from_script
.
Set (or reset) the delegation part of an Address using a script hash. This is useful when combined with from_verification_key
and/or from_script
.
