🏃User onboarding

• Ethereum Account Generation

  • Purpose: Establish a blockchain identity by creating an Ethereum account.

  • Details:

    • The account provides a public address (for receiving funds) and a private key (for signing transactions).

    • If the user already has an account, this step can be skipped.

• Account Funding via Faucet

  • Purpose: Ensure the Ethereum account has enough funds to pay for transaction fees and other on-chain operations.

  • Details:

    • Faucet Use: The user makes a request to a faucet—a service that dispenses small amounts of cryptocurrency—to fund the newly generated Ethereum account.

    • Timing: This step should be performed before generating the AES key so the transaction could be funded.

• AES Key Generation

  • Purpose: Create a symmetric AES encryption/decryption key for secure data transmission to deployed contracts on the gcEVM.

  • Details:

    • Security: A strong, randomly generated key is used for encrypting sensitive payloads.

    • Usage: Once the account is funded and ready, this AES key is generated and securely stored for subsequent encryption and decryption operations.
