## Key Classes & Components

**SWallet**

Standard wallet for mnemonic-based (BIP39) or seed-based wallet management. Create new wallets, restore from mnemonics, or import from existing seeds.

**Slip39SWallet**

SLIP-39 wallet with Shamir's Secret Sharing for enterprise-grade security. Split wallet secrets across multiple shares and recover with configurable thresholds.

**SAccount**

Represents a derived Solana keypair with signing and verification capabilities. Each account is derived from the wallet's master seed using standard BIP32 paths.

**PublicKey & PrivateKey**

Type-safe wrappers for Ed25519 cryptographic keys. Prevent accidental key exposure and provide validation methods.

## Technical Highlights

### Security by Design

- Private keys are never logged or exposed

- Passphrase support adds additional security layer

- SLIP-39 enables distributed trust models

- Hardware wallet ready for production deployments

### Standards Compliance

- BIP39 mnemonic standard for wallet recovery

- BIP32 hierarchical deterministic key derivation

- SLIP-39 Shamir's Secret Sharing specification

- Ed25519 industry-standard cryptography

- Solana standard derivation paths (m/44'/501'/x'/0')

### Production Ready

- Minimal dependencies (only Bifrost.Security for Ed25519)

- .NET 6.0+ with C# 10 support

- Zero external API calls for core functionality

- Designed for integration with existing enterprise systems

## Security Considerations

This library implements industry-standard cryptographic practices:

- Ed25519 signatures use proven algorithms

- BIP32 key derivation follows established standards

- SLIP-39 provides mathematically-proven secret sharing

- Type safety prevents common programming errors

However, cryptographic key management is critical. Follow these guidelines:

- Store keys in dedicated key storage systems

- Use hardware security modules for production

- Never commit secrets to version control

- Implement proper key rotation strategies

- Audit your implementation before production

## Getting Started

### Installation

Install via NuGet:

dotnet add package SolanaSDK

### First Steps

1. **Create a wallet** - Generate a new 12-word mnemonic or restore from existing

2. **Derive accounts** - Create multiple accounts for different purposes

3. **Sign messages** - Use accounts to sign and verify data

4. **Integrate RPC** - Connect to Solana blockchain for transactions

## Requirements

- **.NET 6.0** or higher

- **C# 10.0** or higher
