RewardAddress

class cometa.address.reward_address.RewardAddress(ptr)[source]

Bases: object

Represents a Cardano reward address.

Reward addresses are used to distribute rewards for participating in the proof-of-stake protocol, either directly or via delegation. They contain only a stake credential and are used exclusively for receiving staking rewards.

__init__(ptr)[source]

Return type:: None

__enter__()[source]

Return type:: RewardAddress

__exit__(exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)[source]

Return type:: None

__repr__()[source]

Return repr(self).

Return type:: str

classmethod from_credentials(network_id, credential)[source]

Creates a reward address from a stake credential.

Parameters:

network_id (NetworkId) – The network (mainnet or testnet).
credential (Credential) – The stake credential controlling reward distribution.

Returns:

A new RewardAddress instance.

Raises:

CardanoError – If address creation fails.

Return type:

RewardAddress

Example

>>> stake = Credential.from_key_hash("00" * 28)
>>> addr = RewardAddress.from_credentials(NetworkId.MAINNET, stake)

classmethod from_address(address)[source]

Creates a RewardAddress from a generic Address.

Parameters:: address (Address) – A generic Address that must be a reward address.
Returns:: A new RewardAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If the address is not a reward address.
Return type:: RewardAddress

classmethod from_bech32(bech32_string)[source]

Creates a RewardAddress from a Bech32-encoded string.

Parameters:: bech32_string (str) – The Bech32-encoded address string (e.g., “stake1…”).
Returns:: A new RewardAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If parsing fails.
Return type:: RewardAddress

classmethod from_bytes(data)[source]

Creates a RewardAddress from raw bytes.

Parameters:: data (bytes | bytearray) – The serialized address bytes.
Returns:: A new RewardAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If parsing fails.
Return type:: RewardAddress
