  • New modular wallet architecture with 6 core modules (wallet, mnemonic, address, transaction, balance, history, chain)
  • BIP39 seed phrase support with secure zeroization
  • Multi-chain address generation for BitCell, Bitcoin, and Ethereum
  • Transaction builder pattern with fee estimation
  • Comprehensive test coverage (80+ tests added)

The tiny-bip39 crate has been deprecated. Consider using the bip39 crate instead, which is the maintained fork. The tiny-bip39 crate is no longer receiving updates and may have security vulnerabilities.

Suggested change
tiny-bip39 = "1.0"
bip39 = "2.0"

Ethereum address generation uses SHA256 instead of Keccak256, producing addresses incompatible with the Ethereum network. The comment on line 75 acknowledges this but uses SHA256 anyway.

Ethereum addresses must use Keccak256 hash of the uncompressed public key (excluding the 0x04 prefix byte), taking the last 20 bytes. Consider adding a proper Keccak256 dependency (e.g., sha3 crate) for Ethereum compatibility.

The transaction hash includes all transaction fields but uses chain_id() which returns inconsistent values. For example, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BitCell all have chain_id 1, making transactions potentially vulnerable to replay attacks across these chains.

Consider using unique chain identifiers in transaction hashes, or implement chain-specific transaction formats that prevent cross-chain replay.

The short_hash() method uses direct string slicing which can panic if the hash contains multi-byte UTF-8 characters or if the hash is shorter than expected. While transaction hashes are typically hex strings (ASCII), it's safer to use character boundary-aware slicing or handle potential panics.

Consider using .chars() and .char_indices() for safer string slicing, or document that this method assumes ASCII hex strings.

[nitpick] The WalletExport struct includes public fields that expose internal wallet data structures (AddressManager, BalanceTracker, etc.). While this provides flexibility, it bypasses encapsulation and could lead to data inconsistencies if these fields are modified directly after import.

Consider making these fields private and providing controlled access methods, or documenting that direct modification of these fields after import may lead to undefined behavior.

The hash_index field is skipped during serialization but not rebuilt during deserialization. This means after deserializing a TransactionHistory, lookups via get() and get_mut() will fail because the index is empty, even though the transactions are present.

Add a custom deserialization implementation or call rebuild_index() in a post-deserialization step to ensure the hash index is populated.

The key derivation implementation is simplified and not BIP32-compliant. While the documentation notes this, the current implementation may produce keys that differ from standard HD wallets. This means:

  1. Users cannot import this wallet's mnemonic into other BIP32-compliant wallets
  2. Users cannot use mnemonics from other wallets in this implementation
  3. The derivation path format (m/44'/.../) is misleading since BIP32 isn't actually used

Consider implementing proper BIP32 HMAC-SHA512 hierarchical deterministic key derivation for wallet interoperability, or rename the derivation path format to indicate this is a custom scheme.

Multiple chains have the same chain_id value of 1 (BitCell, Bitcoin, and Ethereum mainnet). This creates ambiguity and potential security issues. Each chain should have a unique chain_id to prevent confusion and replay attacks.

For reference, Ethereum mainnet uses chain_id 1, but BitCell and Bitcoin should use distinct values. Bitcoin doesn't traditionally use chain IDs in the same way, but for this multi-chain wallet, unique identifiers are essential.

The format_date function uses a simplified Debug formatting which will produce a non-user-friendly output like "SystemTime { tv_sec: ..., tv_nsec: ... }". This is not suitable for display purposes.

Consider using a proper datetime library like chrono or formatting the timestamp manually into a human-readable format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).

The calculation (fraction * scale) / divisor can overflow when fraction is large and scale is also large. For example, with Ethereum's 18 decimals, fraction could be up to 10^18 - 1, and multiplying by scale could exceed u64::MAX.

Consider using checked arithmetic or u128 for intermediate calculations to prevent overflow.

Suggested change
let scaled_fraction = (fraction * scale) / divisor;
let scaled_fraction = ((fraction as u128 * scale as u128) / divisor as u128) as u64;
