How it Works

This section offers developers an insight into the operational framework and core mechanisms of the xchain crypto blockchain library.

It provides a structured overview of how developers can effectively utilize the library's features and functionalities to interact with diverse blockchain networks.

Typically keystore files encrypt a seed to a file, however, this is not appropriate or UX-friendly, since the phrase cannot be recovered after the fact.

Crypto design:

[entropy] -> [phrase] -> [seed] -> [privateKey] -> [publicKey] -> [address]

Instead, XCHAIN-CRYPTO stores the phrase in a keystore file, then decrypts and passes this phrase to other clients:

[keystore] -> XCHAIN-CRYPTO -> [phrase] -> ChainClient

The ChainClients can then convert this into their respective key pairs and addresses. Users can also export their phrases after the fact, ensuring they have saved them securely. This could enhance UX onboarding since users aren't forced to write their phrases down immediately for empty or test wallets.
