Catalyst Voting Tools

A library and series of executables to aid programmers and users to interact with the voting capabilities of Catalyst.

The "voter-registration" executable creates transaction metadata in the correct format for submission with a transaction, to register a user to vote.

The "voting-tools" creates a snapshot of the voting power of registrations and outputs it as JSON file.

Obtaining

Static binary

A static binary for the "voter-registration" executable is provided. Due to limitations in our cross-compilation infrastructure (specifically, static binaries of postgresql libraries cannot be produced), a static binary cannot be provided for the "voting-tools" executable.

The latest static binary can be found here.

Or built with:

nix build .#voterRegistrationTarball

Build it yourself

With Nix

nix build .#voter-registration -o voter-registration
nix build .#voting-tools -o voting-tools

./voting-tools/bin/voting-tools --mainnet --db-user cardano-node --out-file snapshot.json
