Validator consenus &private key replacement implementation

Miscellaneous

Hi, in light of the recent take down of notional validators, I think it’s a good chance to share an implementation we did

Specifically, :

  1. Consensus Public Key Replacement: In the event of a server breach or consensus public key leakage, we’ve implemented a solution using the edit-consensus-pubkey transaction to replace the validator’s consensus public key.

  2. Authority Transfer for Private Key Compromise: To mitigate the risks associated with a validator’s wallet private key being compromised, we’ve set up a mechanism for transferring validator authority to another address using the grant-privilege transaction. In this setup, the compromised private key cannot send transactions on the chain, while an authorized address can perform transactions on behalf of the validator’s address.
