Constants

Types

These are the list of types used to represent various properties within the protocol.

Alias | Shorthand | Type |

Amount | Amount | u64 | Curve | Curve | u16 | Coin | Coin | u32 | Global Validator Set ID | GVSID | u32 | Validator Set Index | VS | u8 | Key | Key | Vec |

Curves

Integer IDs for various curves. It should be noted some curves may be the same, yet have distinct IDs due to having different basepoints, and accordingly different keys. For such cases, the processor is expected to create one secret per curve, and then use DLEq proofs to port keys to other basepoints as needed.

Curve | ID |

Secp256k1 | 0 | Ed25519 | 1 |

Networks

Every network connected to Serai has a curve and a string ID. While the processor generates keys for curves, these keys are bound to specific networks via an additive offset created by hashing the network's string ID.

Network | String ID | Curve |

Bitcoin | "bitcoin" | 0 | Ethereum | "ethereum" | 0 | Monero | "monero" | 1 |

Coins

Coins exist over a network and have a distinct integer ID.

Coin | Network | ID |

Bitcoin | Bitcoin | 0 | Ethereum | Ethereum | 1 | USDC | Ethereum | 2 | DAI | Ethereum | 3 | Monero | Monero | 4 |
