Implement Stake Pool URIs (CIP-0013)

[rphair]

At this time, the accepted CIP documenting stake pool URIs as part of the general Cardano URI Scheme (https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0013) calls for links to single stake pools to be implemented in Cardano wallets, to express and implement a delegation choice. The necessity of Daedalus, the most widely used Cardano wallet, to interpret links like this has already been documented in the CIP itself. For example:

web+cardano://stake?COSD

Also one of the oldest currently open issues for Daedalus (#883 (comment), still open at the time) suggests stake pool links in the same discussion: at this time 3 years pending. Now that this standard has been formulated, the Cardano community must have a way via this issue to track the implementation in Daedalus of stake pool URIs as well as payment URIs.

One implementation note: this CIP has a current pull request (cardano-foundation/CIPs#86) to expand the linking scheme for multiple pools. It's been acknowledged in developer discussions and interviews that multiple pool links will be more practically difficult to achieve, in the wallet as well as probably the protocol, than single pool links. Still it is sensible to suggest that the Stake Pool URI part of the implementation should (pending merger of that PR into the CIP) eventually also accept multi-pool links in this proposed form:

web+cardano://stake?POOL1=3.14159&POOL2=2.71828

update: as of 29 July, with the merge of cardano-foundation/CIPs#86, multiple pool links have also been included as part of this standard (as in the second example quoted above).

Has this #CIP been scheduled for implementation into Daedalus or Yoroi yet? As far as I can tell the latest entries in the repos linked here date back to 2019...

Direct web links to delegate would greatly benefit small SPOs and increase decentralisation of stake (and thereby resilience) on the Cardano network.

Keen to see this move forward :)

Looking forward to it!
