Description

Goal

Secure blockchain credentials and private keys.

Description

Implement AES-based encryption or integrate with Vault.
Protect private keys and node URLs in .env.

Deliverables

  • Encryption module for secrets
  • .env → PRIVATE_KEY_ENCRYPTED
  • Validation on backend startup

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research AES encryption libraries for your backend language. Understand how to derive an encryption key from a master password or use environment variables for the key. Implement a module that encrypts the PRIVATE KEY and stores it as PRIVATE KEY ENCRYPTED in .env, with decryption on startup.
