Monitoring cross-chain transactions

Overview

This guide introduces the tools and processes available to Private Network Auditors for monitoring transactions within a Rayls Private Network. It covers the two key tools, the Private Network Auditor Explorer and Flagging Transactions, which together let auditors confirm the network's compliance, security and data integrity.

These tools are what allow Private Network Auditors to fulfil their role in monitoring and auditing the network while privacy controls are respected and security is maintained.

Prerequisites

Before using the monitoring tools, ensure the following components are fully deployed and operational:

  • Private Network Hub: Running and accessible, as it records all cross-chain transactions.
  • Governance API: Deployed and functioning to support the retrieval and management of flagged transactions.
  • Listener: Actively monitoring the Private Network Hub for incoming transactions.
  • Flagger: Running to detect and flag discrepancies within the network.
  • Private Network Auditor Explorer: Configured for Private Network Auditor access, with the appropriate permissions for viewing decrypted cross-chain transaction data.

Private Network Auditor Explorer:

The Private Network Auditor Explorer provides decrypted visibility into cross-chain transactions within the Rayls Private Network, so auditors can monitor transaction details across different token standards and teleport protocols. It covers cross-chain activity recorded on the Private Network Hub, while transactions that stay in the Rayls Sovereign ledger remain private.

Flagging Transactions:

The Flagger automatically identifies potential issues, such as double minting or inconsistent balances, by comparing decrypted net token balances with published ledger states. Discrepancies are flagged for further investigation by the Private Network Auditor.
