Key management

To sign transactions, you need to have a stored key in the keyring. This is currently the only way to sign transactions, feel free to request other signing methods.

Safety

The keys are kept in an underlying platform-specific secure store(keyring) as seeds. To support different derivation paths we can’t save it as key pair
