What am i doing wrong while creating this staking transaction?

Question

i am trying to create a staking transaction using cardano serialisation library and then use blockfrost/infinito to send the transaction. I am using @emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib-nodejs: ^9.1.4,

Here's my code :

    createStakeTx(inputs, ttl, poolID, isFirstStake) {
        try {
            // let rootKey = Cardano.Bip32PrivateKey.from_bytes(Buffer.from(this.masterKey, 'hex'));
            console.log(
                'inside create stake tx ::::::::::::::'
            )
            console.log('inputs :', inputs); 
            console.log('ttl :', ttl);
            console.log('poolId :', poolID);
            console.log('isFirstStake :', isFirstStake);

            // this.masterKey = Cardano.Bip32PrivateKey.from_bip39_entropy(Buffer.from(entropy, 'hex'), Buffer.from(''))
            let rootKey = this.masterKey 
            let spend = rootKey
                .derive(harden(1852))
                .derive(harden(1815))
                .derive(harden(0))
                .derive(this.accountKey) // 1
                .derive(this.addressKey); // 34
            let spendPubKey = spend.to_public();

            let stake = rootKey
                .derive(harden(1852))
                .derive(harden(1815))
                .derive(harden(0))
                .derive(2)
                .derive(0);
            let stakePubkey = stake.to_public();
            let ed = stake.to_public().to_raw_key().hash();
            // console.log('ed :', ed);
            let spendCred = Cardano.StakeCredential.from_keyhash(spend.to_public().to_raw_key().hash());
            let stakeCred = Cardano.StakeCredential.from_keyhash(stake.to_public().to_raw_key().hash());

            // testnet: 0, mainnet: 1
            let address = Cardano.BaseAddress.new(1, spendCred, stakeCred).to_address().to_bech32();

            let linearFee = Cardano.LinearFee.new(
                Cardano.BigNum.from_str('44'),
                Cardano.BigNum.from_str('155381')
            );
            let txBuilder = Cardano.TransactionBuilder.new(
                linearFee,

            let sumInputs = bigNumber(0);
            inputs.forEach(element => {
                txBuilder.add_key_input(
                    spendPubKey.to_raw_key().hash(),
                    Cardano.TransactionInput.new(
                        Cardano.TransactionHash.from_bytes(Buffer.from(element.tx_id, 'hex')),
                        element.vout
                    ),
                    Cardano.Value.new(Cardano.BigNum.from_str(element.amount))
                );
                sumInputs = sumInputs.plus(element.amount);
            });

            txBuilder.set_ttl(ttl + 2000);

            let poolKeyHash = Cardano.Ed25519KeyHash.from_bytes(Buffer.from(poolID, 'hex'));
            let certs = Cardano.Certificates.new();

                        )
                    )
                );                
            }

            certs.add(
                Cardano.Certificate.new_stake_delegation(
                    Cardano.StakeDelegation.new(
                        stakeCred,
                        poolKeyHash
                    )
                )
            );

            txBuilder.set_certs(certs);

            let estimate = this.estimateStakeTxFee(inputs, poolID, isFirstStake);
            txBuilder.set_fee(Cardano.BigNum.from_str(bigNumber(estimate.fee).toFixed()));

            let changeAmount = bigNumber(0);
            console.log('sumInputs :', sumInputs)
            if (isFirstStake == true) {
                changeAmount = sumInputs.minus(KEY_DEPOSIT).minus(estimate.fee);
            } else {
                changeAmount = sumInputs.minus(estimate.fee);
            }

            console.log('changeAmount :', changeAmount)
            txBuilder.add_output(

            vkeyWitnesses.add(Cardano.make_vkey_witness(

            vkeyWitnesses.add(Cardano.make_vkey_witness(

// Error when i use blockfrost :

transaction submit error ShelleyTxValidationError ShelleyBasedEraAlonzo (ApplyTxError [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (MissingVKeyWitnessesUTXOW (WitHashes (fromList [KeyHash "some hash"])))),DelegsFailure (DelplFailure (DelegFailure (StakeDelegationImpossibleDELEG (KeyHashObj (KeyHash "somehash")))))])

//Error when i use infinito : {"type":"jsonwsp/fault","version":"1.0","servicename":"ogmios","fault":{"code":"client","string":"Invalid request: DeserialiseFailure 539 "Size mismatch when decoding \nRecord RecD.\nExpected 4, but found 3."."},"reflection":{"requestId":"XEpib"}} is an unknown result

Maybe i am just creating the transaction in a wrong way or my keys might be messed up.

Open to any help and suggestions

Thanks

Answer 1

The error message "MissingVKeyWitnessesUTXOW" means you need to sign with the right key. For delegation transaction, you need to sign with both your stake.skey and payment.skey.
