The Ting Application Chain has two types of private keys that it directly manages:
Private key used for the consensus mechanism
Private key used for networking by libp2p
Currently, the Ting Application Chain doesn't offer support for direct account management.
Based on the directory structure outlined in the Backup & Restore guide, the Ting Application Chain stores these mentioned key files in two distinct directories - consensus and keystore.
Key format
The private keys are stored in simple Base64 format, so they can be human-readable and portable.
