How Iron Fish Works in FoxWallet

  1. Generate/import keys on FoxWallet app.
  2. Upload view keys to FoxWallet backend.
  3. Decrypt transactions on FoxWallet backend.
  4. Get account info from FoxWallet backend.
  5. Send transaction:
    • Create raw tx on FoxWallet app.
    • Sign tx on FoxWallet app.
    • Post signed tx to FoxWallet backend and then broadcast it

Why need to download components, what are they ?​

The Iron Fish components needed to download are the official zero-knowledge-proof params, the total size is about 90MB.

In order not to make the app package too large, FoxWallet puts these parameters in the CDN.

Note​

  • Your spending key will not upload to FoxWallet backend, your funds are safe
  • FoxWallet will take good care of your view keys, no one else can get your view keys
  • Balance and transaction history api are well protected, your privacy remains
