Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to model an address-controlled account that signs ledger transactions or holds assets — the on-chain signing identity behind a blockchain claim, aligned to CAIP-10 / did:pkh.

Avoid when

• Avoid for a deployed program (gmeow:SmartContract) and for the off-chain real-world agent it may belong to (gmeow:Agent); the account is the on-chain address, whose binding to a person is itself an attestation, not a given.

How to use

• Mint the account by its address, locate it on its gmeow:BlockchainNetwork, and recover it from a signature via gmeow:signatureRecoveryAddress; bind it to a real-world gmeow:Agent only through an explicit identity-binding Attestation.

Examples

• ex:signer a gmeow:BlockchainAccount; gmeow:signatureRecoveryAddress "0xabc...".
