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<u8>

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 operates over a specific curve. While the processor generates keys for curves, these keys are bound to specific networks via an additive offset created by hashing the network's name (among other things). The network's key is used for all coins on that network.

Networks are not acknowledged by the Serai network, solely by the processor.

Coins

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