Astraeus
Astraeus is a sophisticated system for managing transferable accounts on a blockchain, providing secure and flexible account management capabilities.
Overview
Astraeus implements a TransferableAccountStore smart contract that offers the following key features:
- Account creation, transfer, and deletion
- Advanced locking mechanism for enhanced security
- Approval system for delegated control
- Timed signature authentication
- Confidential operations using SUAVE's secure environment
- Support for multiple elliptic curves (currently ECDSA, with plans for EDDSA)
Key Components
WIP: Quick Start
To interact with Astraeus, you can use the provided API endpoints. Here's a basic example of creating an account:
For more detailed information on available endpoints and their usage, please refer to the API Specification.
Security Features
Astraeus incorporates several security measures:
- Timed signatures for authentication
- Account locking mechanism
- Confidential operations for sensitive data
- Owner-specific privileges
- Approval system for delegated control
For in-depth information on these security features and their implementation, see the Technical Details document.
Current Limitations
While Astraeus provides robust functionality, there are some current limitations:
- Potential for timed signature reuse within the validity period
- Limited support for elliptic curves (currently only ECDSA)
We are actively working on addressing these limitations. For more information, refer to the "Current Limitations and Future Improvements" section in the Technical Details document.
