Overview Keys​

By default, your config and data are stored in the folder located at the first your build directory.

The Gitshock Node has two types of private keys that it directly manages:

• Private key used for the consensus mechanism

• Private key used for networking by libp2p

• (Optional) BLS Private key used for the consensus mechanism to aggregate validators' signatures
