GAID: Global Account Identity

Arichain's Global Account Identity (GAID) system provides a unified identity solution that enables users to interact with multiple virtual machine environments. Users can either import their existing wallets (MetaMask, Phantom) or create completely new accounts - either way, they get instant access to all VM ecosystems.

Universal Identity Options

Use Your Existing Wallet GAID allows users to keep using their current wallets without any changes:

  • Keep Your MetaMask: Import your existing EVM address and automatically get SVM access

  • Keep Your Phantom: Import your existing SVM address and automatically get EVM access

  • One Import, All Access: Import from either wallet type, get both ecosystems instantly

  • No Learning Curve: Use familiar wallet interfaces you already know

Or Create Fresh Accounts Users who prefer starting fresh can also create new accounts:

  • New Universal Account: Generate a completely new account that works across all VMs

  • All VM Support: New accounts automatically work with EVM, SVM, and future VMs

  • Clean Start: Perfect for users new to blockchain or wanting separate accounts

  • Same Benefits: New accounts get all the same multi-VM capabilities

How It Works

Single Entry, Multiple Ecosystems Regardless of how you start (existing wallet or new account), you get the same benefits:

Your Choice:
├── Import MetaMask (0x...) → Get SVM access automatically
├── Import Phantom (Base58...) → Get EVM access automatically
└── Create New Account → Get both EVM + SVM automatically

Unified Experience Across All VMs

  • All Tokens in One Place: See ERC-20, SPL, and ARI tokens from any wallet interface

  • Seamless Transactions: System automatically routes to correct VM

  • Native Token Bridge: Move ARI between VMs instantly

  • Consistent Security: Same backup methods work across all environments

Multi-VM Asset Management

Unified Asset View Users can view and manage all their assets across VMs from a single interface:

  • Consolidated Balance Display: See tokens from all VMs in one view

  • Universal Transaction History: Complete transaction record across all VM environments

  • Multi-VM Asset Transfers: Move native assets between VMs without complex bridging processes

  • Consistent Security Model: Same security practices apply across all supported VMs

Smart Routing GAID automatically routes transactions to the appropriate VM:

  • Transaction Type Detection: Identifies target VM based on transaction content and flags

  • Optimal Path Selection: Routes transactions through the most efficient VM for the operation

  • Gas Optimization: Automatically selects the most cost-effective execution environment

  • Error Prevention: Prevents transactions from being sent to incompatible VMs

Design Benefits

Simplified Multi-Chain Experience

  • One Account, All Chains: Access both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems

  • No Wallet Switching: Never need to change wallets for different applications

  • Unified Security: Same backup and security practices across all VMs

  • Developer Friendly: Applications work with any wallet type seamlessly

Enhanced Developer Experience

  • Unified User Base: Access users from all supported VM ecosystems

  • Simplified Integration: Single authentication system for multi-VM applications

  • Multi-VM Analytics: Track user behavior across different execution environments

  • Streamlined UX Design: Design applications without VM-specific complexity

Future-Proof Design

  • Extensible Architecture: Easy addition of new VM support without user impact

  • Backward Compatibility: Existing accounts continue working as new VMs are added

  • Progressive Enhancement: Users automatically gain access to new VM features

  • Standards Compliance: Compatible with existing wallet and identity standards
