The Cardano Improvement Proposal number 12 defines on-chain stake pool operator to delegates communication.
To take advantage of this CIP, communication method needs to be implemented in Yoroi backend software, so that Yoroi and other lighweight wallet can make use of it.
We will implement and propose an enhancement to Yoroi backend software that will create a new endpoint that could be used to query all communication methods defined in CIP12.

We know this project doesn't completely fit within the developer ecosystem challenge. Still, we think that improving the stake pool operators communication with delegates is critical prior to the upcoming k and a0 changes would benefit everyone.

Please note, this proposal has been accepted in Fund 3, but ended up being over budget.
Deliverables
We will implement and propose a change to Yoroi backends, introducing a new endpoint that will enable wallet developers to:
Fetch the CIP12 defined message board communication of a specific stake pool Fetch the CIP12 defined direct delegate communication, filtered by specific stake pool and specific delegate's stake address
We will deliver these features within one month from receiving the budget.
