- eth_sendTransaction dropped the calldata, gas and fee fields, so an
ERC-20 transfer went out as a 0-value send to the token contract and
any contract call was broadcast as something else. plan() now carries
data/gas/fee caps/nonce, estimates gas for calls, and the overlay
decodes transfer/approve/permit/setApprovalForAll, flags unlimited
approvals and calldata to a non-contract, and shows estimated vs max
fee.
- personal_sign signed the hex string ethers/viem send as literal text;
it now signs the decoded bytes.
- wallet_switchEthereumChain flipped the global selected wallet, so any
site could move every connected dapp to another chain. Chain is now
per origin; the sidebar selection no longer redirects a dapp.
- wallet_addEthereumChain silently persisted a connection for chains
Aegis already had, handing the address to any site. Adding a chain
no longer grants anything, and RPC URLs must be https.
- eth_sign (blind hash signing) is disabled, as in MetaMask.
The browser — the consumer face of the stack. Native .bch support with the
resolver built in, so a user installs one app instead of modifying their
operating system. Named for the thread through the labyrinth: the chain is the
thread.
Scope
Electron shell (Chromium engine, no forking): tabs, address bar, history.
In-process .bch resolution — no system daemon, no NRPT, no OS
trust-store changes; reuses bns.js from the BNS repo as a library.
Record handling: h render, ip connect, p/s3 via in-app gateway,
u redirect.
TLS via cert-verify hook (Electron setCertificateVerifyProc) against the
BNS root / on-chain tls fingerprints — no OS store touched.
Provenance indicator: shows whether a page came from the chain / Sia / a
direct server, with NFT category and record type — the decentralized padlock.
Status: not started
Build it in its own session/repo. The ready-to-paste brief is
BROWSER-PROMPT.md (a reference copy in this folder; canonical source is
D:\Dev\NameCoin\BROWSER-PROMPT.md — if they diverge, NameCoin wins). It points
here and reuses the resolver core. theseus.bch is registered and should
eventually serve the browser's own homepage over the protocol it implements.
