Expanding the Cardano C++ SDK: libcardano

Problem

Cardano has a relatively new modern C++ SDK that seeks to expose Cardano to one of the largest developer communities; however, libcardano does not yet provide stake pool cryptographic functionalities.

Solution

We propose to add the following capabilities to libcardano:

  • Certificates (certificate generation and CBOR serialization)
  • VRF keys (including signature and verification)
  • KES keys
  • Cold keys
