Understanding the Problem:
There is limited availability of hardware wallet integration in various programming languages in Cardano, this means that dApps build in different programing languages do not have access to the safety features of Hardware wallets. Hardware wallets are essential for secure blockchain interactions, as they store private keys offline and prevent unauthorized access during transactions. Our approach aims to close this gap by enabling robust, secure hardware wallet interactions across multiple programming environments.
Our Approach and Rationale:
We are developing a MISRA-C-compliant C library tailored for integrating Ledger hardware wallets, chosen for C’s broad compatibility. By focusing on binding generation, we ensure that our library can be easily adopted in any programming language, making advanced security features accessible to a wider array of developers. This universal approach is designed to democratize access to secure blockchain technologies.
Engagement and Beneficiaries:
Our project targets a wide range of developers, from those working in popular languages like Python and Java to those in niche programming environments, including:
- Developers across various languages, who will benefit from easy-to-integrate, secure hardware wallet functionalities.
- End-users who will enjoy enhanced security for their transactions and digital assets.
- Application developers who can leverage our library to build more secure dApps on Cardano.
Demonstrating and Proving Impact:
We will measure our project’s success through the adoption rate of our library across various language ecosystems, the number and variety of apps integrating the Ledger hardware wallets using our library, and feedback from the developer community. Our commitment to MISRA standards will ensure the highest quality, appealing to developers in mission-critical and financially sensitive domains.
