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.
