Specification
According to #779, there needs to be a Trust Anchor that exists to mint
ClaimNetworkAuthoritytokens.As the Trust Anchor is simply some entity containing state with a public key and private key in order to mint
ClaimNetworkAuthoritytokens, a user can simply store their public/private key in some secrets manager. Since we are building one, one can just use a Polykey Seednode that is designated to being the Trust Authority. Or the Trust Authority could be simply some state stored in a database or on disk.Anyhow, seednodes are bootstrapped with the authority to delegate
ClaimNetworkAccesstokens by being given aClaimNetworkAuthoritytoken.The
ClaimNetworkAuthoritytoken is generated by the Trust Anchor and passed to each seednode through an environment variable.Additional context
