Technical FAQ ​

General Questions ​

What is the difference between Aephoron and Dracma (DMS)? ​

Aephoron is the Empoorio ecosystem's Web3-native browser — a Rust engine (Kinetoor) from network to GPU paint, with an embedded wallet, Web3 API, and EmpoorioChain integrations. Dracma (DMS) is the native utility token used for gas, staking, and ecosystem payments on EmpoorioChain. Aephoron uses DMS for on-chain fees when interacting with the chain — it isn't a separate identity platform.

Is Aephoron W3C compliant? ​

Aephoron's did:emp credentials aim to follow W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DID) Core 1.0 and Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0. Today, credential storage and display work locally in the browser; on-chain DID registration and full cryptographic VC verification are open, in-progress work.

Developer Questions ​

Which languages are supported? ​

Aephoron itself is written in Rust (Kinetoor engine, aephoron-desktop shell). The marketing/docs site is TypeScript. There is no separate downloadable SDK package for third-party integration — dApp developers build against the real, injected window.aephoron JavaScript API (EIP-6963 wallet provider) directly in-browser.

Do I need to pay for DID registration? ​

On-chain DID registration is in progress, not shipped. When it lands, registering a did:emp on EmpoorioChain will require a small DMS fee, consistent with how other on-chain writes work on the network.

Can I use Aephoron with other blockchains? ​

Aephoron connects natively to EmpoorioChain (chain ID 2026). 8 of 9 pallets are wired via real SCALE-encoded extrinsics; the EVM/Frontier bridge (eth_getBalance, eth_blockNumber, etc.) currently returns static stub data — full EVM RPC support is coming, not yet live. There's no multi-chain resolver today.

Security & Privacy ​

Where are private keys stored? ​

Aephoron never stores your private keys on-chain or in the JavaScript heap. Keys are managed by the embedded Eoonia Wallet in the OS secure enclave (Keychain on macOS, Credential Guard on Windows).

What happens if I lose my keys? ​

If you lose your keys without a backup, you lose control of that wallet. Aephoron doesn't currently implement guardian-based social recovery — back up your wallet's recovery phrase through Eoonia's standard flow.
