Contractual custody

Smart contracts in the EDGECOIN platform need to have custodian approval. The custodian approval constitutes another smart contract that can in turn have other custodians. This process leads to chains of custodians in the system. Every transaction on the Edgecoin system requires an online and offline key for it's approval.

Contract Upgrade

The EDGECOIN system upgrade requires offline approval and it is risky. It is done through a "Proxy" which is instructed to consider a new "Build" to be accepted in the "Store" of the Edgecoin ledger.

A new "Build" is created to replace the old "Build". Once the new is approved, it is accepted in the "Store". Henceforth, the store accepts only calls from the new Build. The old Build is deactivated and merely exists in the system.

The system is secured through a stipulated measure. There is a key needed to approve high operation contracts. It is known as Signer and generated using the Hardware Security Module, and stored in an offline storage system. At least two Signers are needed for the approval of such Highly rated contracts. The execution of such a contract is also delayed for some stated time to allow for detection of any fraudulent intention. And if detected, the contract is cancelled.
