io.finnet Components

There are two primary components to the io.finnet platform:

• Web dashboard: Used for creating and managing an organisation's vaults and transactional activity, alongside functionalities such as adding or removing users, adding an API key, and accessing necessary support information
  
  • For io.network Principal Members the web dashboard is also used to view and manage all underlying client accounts. This also displays all transactional activity processed through the minting and burning functions
• Mobile application: The mobile application enables each member of a vault signing party to efficiently review transactions and reshare requests. Users can easily approve or reject these requests and actively participate in the cryptographic signing process.

Learn how to get access to the web dashboard and register a signing device.
