Welcome to Streamflow! As you begin your journey, we want to ensure you understand our security processes, especially if you’re using a Ledger or SquadsX hardware wallet.
Due to current limitations in Ledger support for Solana, our procedure differs slightly for you.
Why a Transaction Request Instead of a Signature?
Normally, Streamflow users authenticate their session with a simple signature request. However, for Ledger users, Solana currently doesn’t support this feature. Instead, we use a transaction request for authentication.
The Role of Transaction Request for Ledger Users
• Your Authentication Key: The transaction request acts as a unique key to verify your identity and authorize your session on Streamflow.
• One-time Action: Like a signature request, you only need to do this once, ensuring a smooth experience while maintaining high security. It’s akin to a cookie when logging into a website.
• No Actual Transaction: This is not a real blockchain transaction. No assets will be moved, and it won’t incur any transaction fees. It’s purely for session authentication.
Streamflow’s Commitment to Ledger Users
We understand that this extra step might seem cumbersome compared to the standard signature request. Please know that we are actively working on finding more streamlined solutions as technology evolves. Our goal is to blend top-notch security with ease of use, and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate these technical limitations.
