Security Features
Decentralized Validation with P2P Communication
The Soldier Nodes communicate over an Algorand-based application-specific chain and have a backup libp2p-based protocol, ensuring that all communication between nodes is decentralized and resistant to centralization risks. Each node independently verifies the validity of transactions, reducing the likelihood of collusion or manipulation.
- Secure Messaging: All communication between nodes is cryptographically secured, preventing eavesdropping or tampering by malicious actors.
- Fault Tolerance: The decentralized nature of the Soldier Network ensures that the protocol remains resilient even if individual nodes go offline or are compromised.
Transaction Finality and Resilience
Aramid's bridge utilizes a lock-and-release mechanism to ensure the secure transfer of tokens between chains. When a user locks tokens on the source chain, the Soldiers validate the transaction and execute the corresponding release on the destination chain.
- Automated Retry Mechanism: The system can automatically retry failed transactions, ensuring that users do not lose funds due to temporary failures in the release process.
- Transaction Reprocessing: In case of transaction failure during the release phase, Soldier Nodes can automatically reprocess the transaction. If automatic reprocessing fails, manual intervention through governance can recover tokens.
