What is the purpose of delegation credentials?
- They control how you publish a delegation certificate. (correct)
- They define which coin is used for transaction.

How does a 'Script Hash' function within delegation credentials?
How does a 'Script Hash' function within delegation credentials?
A sophisticated attacker manages to subtly alter the logic within a 'Script Hash' used for delegation credentials, without invalidating the script's cryptographic hash. This altered logic redirects a small percentage of all stake rewards to the attacker's designated account. Which security principle has been MOST severely violated, leading to this compromise?

Study Notes
- Understanding inputs and outputs is fundamental to grasping Cardano's EUTxO model and developing on the platform.
- An analogy to understand Cardano's EUTxO model is a vending machine
Vending Machine Explained
- Outputs are akin to items with a value (price), label (location in the machine), and condition (money needed).
- Inputs are the money inserted to make a purchase.
- A transaction is the entire purchase: inserting money, selecting an item, and receiving the item and any change.
Cardano Inputs and Outputs
- Cardano outputs resemble items in a vending machine
- Value: The amount of ADA or other assets it holds.
- Address: The condition required to spend it.
- Data Payload: Optional metadata.
- Inputs are references to existing outputs being spent.
- A transaction involves selecting outputs to spend and creating new ones in return.
- The total value of the inputs must equal the total value of the outputs, plus any transaction fees.
Cardano Addresses
- Cardano addresses have payment and delegation credentials
- The vending machine analogy helps explain their function
Header
- The header resembles a vending machine's label, indicating the type of machine and its network location (mainnet or testnet).
Payment Credentials
- Payment credentials are how you pay the machine
Verification Key Hash
- Like using a specific, recognized coin or bill, requiring a matching verification key and signature.
Script Hash
- Functions like a coupon with specific, coded rules that must be met for the transaction to occur.
Delegation Credentials
- Delegation credentials are like a loyalty program, where stake can be earned and used for rewards.
Verification KeyHash
- Similar to a loyalty card, used to delegate stake to a specific stake pool.
Script Hash
- Functions as a smart contract to manage loyalty points, with rules for delegation and reward distribution.
- Payment credentials manages how to spend an output
- Delegation credentials manages two things:
- how to publish a delegation certificate
- how to withdraw rewards associated with the stake credentials.

Description
Understand Cardano's EUTxO model through the analogy of a vending machine. Inputs are like inserting money, while outputs are the items you purchase. A transaction involves selecting outputs to spend and creating new ones, ensuring the total value of inputs equals outputs plus fees.
