Obtain API Key with Authz

🎉 If you don’t want to use your validator operator key to sign a challenge via Keplr, Skip now let’s you sign with

any other account!

This requires granting MsgVote permissions to a different address via authz, and then signing with that address. See below.

→ ✅ After completion, go to https://skip.money/registration to get an API Key.

➡️ Granting `MsgVote` Permissions

simd tx authz grant <addr receiving grant> generic --msg-type /cosmos.gov.v1beta1.MsgVote --from <operator key>

Here, the msg-type is the cosmos Type URL of the message that the granter can submit on behalf of the operator
- This means that the address receiving the authz grant can vote on gov proposals on behalf of your validator (and sign to get a Skip API Key) contact us and we’ll generate you one.
- The address receiving the grant must not have a null pubkey. In other words, the address you want to sign in with must have signed a transaction before signing the Skip challenge.
If you don’t want to sign a challenge, contact us and we’ll generate you an API Key.

simd tx authz revoke <addr losing grant> /cosmos.gov.v1beta1.MsgVote --from <operator key>

Grants can be revoked at any time, after the grant is revoked the address that received the grant cannot sign in on behalf of your validator anymore
- This means you can safely temporary delegate permissions to an account, sign the Skip challenge for an API Key, and then revoke the grant.

$ simd query authz grants <operator address> <address granted> /cosmos.gov.v1beta1.MsgVote
