- The Salt application hosted at https://app.salt.space which includes a front end browser application with a server side policy and wallet engine
- Salt Account Orchestration Smart Contracts
- Smart contracts that are created when a new Salt Account is launched. Each Salt Account has its own smart contract instance. Their purpose is to:
- hold important cryptographic material for each underlying Salt Account signer;
- act as a communication medium between underlying signers on the Salt Account.
- Salt Robo Guardian Infrastructure
- Self-custodial signer that holds some key material for every Salt Account that an organisation has created. The codebase for this infrastructure is publicly available software and maintained by Kagami Digital Pty Ltd. It can be hosted on a variety of cloud and physical hardware platforms that support Ubuntu Linux. Whilst Salt provides both documentation/guides along with recommended tooling to use, the hosting decisions are ultimately up to each organisation. Each organisation is entirely responsible for their own robo guardian (colloquially referred to as “robo”, “robos” or “robo guardians” on Salt Socials).
- Salt APIs
- RESTful API layer used to communicate with;
- users via their web browser
- asset management agents
- third parties offering services to Salt.
- Salt SDK
- Javascript package for integration of Salt platform by third parties. It is offered in addition to the API layer to increase integration speed and reliability.
- Fund Removal Application
- NodeJS application independent of the Salt Web Application itself. It is designed to be downloaded and run locally in a fully self contained fashion and does not rely on infrastructure provided by Salt. It facilitates the transfer of digital assets out of Salt wallets in order to reduce the risk of asset loss in the event of Salt business failure.
