staking decommission-pool-request

Legacy spelling: this command was previously spelled staking-decommission-pool-request. Both spellings work, but only the nested spelling shown here appears in help and tab completion (v1.4.5+).

Create a request to decommission a pool. This assumes that the decommission key is owned by another wallet.

The output of this command should be passed to transaction sign in the wallet that owns the decommission key. The result from signing, assuming success, can then be broadcast to the network to commence the decommissioning.

Usage

staking decommission-pool-request <POOL_ID> <OUTPUT_ADDRESS>

Arguments

• <POOL_ID>: The id of the pool to decommission.

• <OUTPUT_ADDRESS>: The address that will receive the staker's balance (both pledge and proceeds from staking).

Workflow

This command is used when the decommission key is held in a separate (e.g. cold) wallet:

1. Run staking decommission-pool-request in the hot wallet to produce an unsigned transaction hex.
2. Transfer the hex to the cold wallet.
3. Run transaction sign <HEX> in the cold wallet to sign it.
4. Broadcast the signed transaction with node submit-transaction.
