# Dual-Key Architecture

### **Dual-Key Architecture**

Every Shady account is generated with two cryptographic key pairs:

* **View Key** → Detects and decrypts incoming encrypted transactions.
* **Spend Key** → Authorizes fund movement (claim, swap, transfer).

This separation ensures:

* You can **delegate scanning** to another device or service (like the AI scanner) without giving them control of your funds.
* Your private funds are **untouchable** even if a viewing service is compromised.

🧠 Example use-case:

* Your wallet app runs an **auto-scanner** using the View Key.
* It notifies you when a stealth payment arrives.
* You manually use your Spend Key to claim it.
