Build a transaction that'll be witnessed by your script and contains the metadata

Now we have our metadata, we will need to construct a transaction that contains the metadata and will satisfy our script to trigger.

We recommend constructing a transaction which contains a DRep Update certificate. For continuity you can supply this certificate with the same metadata as you use now.

This certificate will trigger your script to witness the transaction.

You can use a configuration like this:

cardano-cli conway governance drep update-certificate \
 --drep-script-hash $(cat my-drep-script.id) \
 --drep-metadata-url https://my-metadata.jsonld  \
 --drep-metadata-hash "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" 
 --out-file my-update-cert-that-doesnt-change-anything.cert

cardano_cli conway transaction build \
 --tx-in $(cardano_cli conway query utxo --address $(cat my-payment.addr) --out-file  /dev/stdout | jq -r 'keys[0]') \
 --change-address $(cat my-payment.addr) \
 --certificate-file my-update-cert-that-doesnt-change-anything.cert \
 --certificate-script-file my-drep-script.json \
 --metadata-json-file my-cc-election-vote-metadata.json \
 --out-file my-cc-election-vote.unsigned
