+Read the cbor hex for the private signing key using the following command:
+
+```shell
+cat bot.skey | jq -r '.cborHex'

+
+This is the value assigned to `PAYMENT_SIGNING_KEY_CBOR_HEX` when running the SOR via Docker.

 It's **recommended** to create and setup a `collateral`. A UTxO with 5 ADAs will

+Use the following command to find and select the UTXO to be used for collateral:
+
+```shell
+cardano-cli query utxo --address $(cat bot.preprod.addr) --mainnet
