You can then proceed with the following operational tasks for managing your stake pool:

Set up

• Configuration and topology files
• Configuring topology files for block-producing and relay nodes
• Creating keys and addresses
• Generating stake pool keys
• Registering key stake address on the blockchain
• Creating an operational certificate with key evolving signature (KES)
• Registering a stake pool with metadata
• Starting a node
• Creating a simple transaction

Maintenance

• Leadership schedule
• Querying a stake pool snapshot
• Generating new operational certificate and keys
• Withdrawing rewards
• Retiring a stake pool
