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 automaticallyUnified 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
