Signature & address scheme #1

Closed andywer closed 3 years ago

Options:

Ed25519 only
Multisignature (support for multiple schemes)

Would have pure Ed25519 an impact on bridges to other chains later?

Need to investigate:

Would have pure Ed25519 an impact on bridges to other chains later?

This is too hard to tell right now. I think it is viable to only go for Ed25519 for this prototype phase and see what we learn. At least that should be enough to be able to demo something to stakeholders.

Quick update: Switching to plain Ed25519 breaks the template node's tests. As Aaron already asked about potential multi-address support in the future, I will keep the multi-addresses for now. The code can easily changed, we only have to decide before public testnet rollout.

We are sticking to multi-address. Otherwise we will have a hard time bridging to Ethereum later.

(We talked about it several times now and that seems to be the consensus; just updating the issue now to reflect that)
