Manage private keys

Overview

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.
