Encrypted Layer
Docs / Getting Started

Getting started.

Understand Encrypted Layer, Ghost OS, supported wallet concepts, and early command workflows.

01

Overview

Encrypted Layer is the company layer for secure onchain execution infrastructure. The documentation is written for product users, builders, security reviewers, and partners evaluating the system posture.

Start with the company model before reviewing product workflows.
Treat all onchain execution as user-reviewed and wallet-approved.
Use the legal pages as the official public policy reference for the website.
Read /docs/security before enabling any wallet-connected workflow.

02

What is Encrypted Layer?

Encrypted Layer builds the infrastructure and product surfaces required to make onchain execution more legible, command-driven, and security-aware.

Parent company for Ghost OS.
Research-led execution interface design.
Infrastructure-first positioning for crypto-native users and builders.

03

What is Ghost OS?

Ghost OS is the flagship product: a unified command center for swaps, bridges, token scanning, portfolio intelligence, token deployment, NFT actions, wallet tracking, and onchain workflows.

Designed around command input and structured previews.
Works with external wallet approval patterns.
Public beta language should remain conservative.
Swap 0.1 ETH to USDC on Base

04

Quickstart

A production workflow should start with command intent, preview, risk context, user wallet approval, and visible result state.

Choose a supported workflow.
Review network and wallet context.
Inspect transaction details before approval.
Track pending and completed states.
ghostos preview --chain base --action swap

05

Supported Chains

Supported chain language should be managed carefully and updated only when product support is verified.

Display network support in product UI.
Never imply unsupported chain execution.
Show bridge and DEX dependencies when relevant.

06

Accounts and Wallets

Encrypted Layer and Ghost OS are designed around user-controlled wallets and clear transaction review.

Never ask for seed phrases.
Use wallet prompts for supported actions.
Encourage users to verify destinations and contract addresses.

07

Execution Vocabulary

Shared terms reduce ambiguity across product, docs, support, and partner conversations.

Command: the user's requested onchain action.
Preview: the structured transaction proposal before approval.
Route: the execution path across chain, asset, and third-party systems.
Result: the visible state after submission or cancellation.
