Enable Solana Wallet Support Across AO Stack (MU, SU, CU)

Summary

Adds first-class support for Solana wallets to send and process AO messages using their native Ed25519 signatures
across the entire AO stack (Messenger Unit, Scheduler Unit, and Compute Unit), while maintaining full backward
compatibility with Ethereum and Arweave wallets.

Motivation

Currently, the AO stack only properly handles Arweave RSA and Ethereum wallets. While Solana users can sign AO
messages via ANS-104 DataItems (arbundles already supports their signature types), the units don't properly derive
or verify Solana addresses, leading to:

  • MU: Incorrect rate limiting (uses wrong addresses)
  • SU: Signature verification failures (doesn't recognize Ed25519)
  • CU: Incorrect process owner attribution (can't derive addresses)

This PR enables:

✅ Solana wallets to be properly recognized and handled across all AO units
✅ Correct address derivation for Solana (base58), Ethereum (EIP-55), and Arweave
✅ Signature verification for Ed25519 (Solana) alongside ECDSA (Ethereum) and RSA (Arweave)
✅ Both compressed and uncompressed Ethereum keys to work correctly

Changes

MU (Messenger Unit)

New Files

src/domain/lib/derive-address.js - Utility module with 4 exports:

  • deriveEthereumAddress(): Derives EIP-55 checksummed addresses from compressed (33-byte) or uncompressed
    (65-byte) secp256k1 public keys
  • deriveSolanaAddress(): Derives base58 addresses from 32-byte Ed25519 public keys
  • detectSignatureType(): Returns wallet type ('ethereum' | 'solana' | 'arweave' | 'unknown') from signature
    length
  • detectKeyType(): Returns wallet type from public key byte length

src/domain/lib/derive-address.test.js - Comprehensive unit tests (31 new tests):

  • Ethereum: compressed/uncompressed keys, EIP-55 checksum validation, edge cases
  • Solana: Ed25519 keys, base58 encoding validation, edge cases
  • Detection: signature/key type detection for all wallet types

Modified Files

src/domain/api/sendDataItem.js - Uses signature-based detection:

  • Removed inline address derivation functions (-46 lines)
  • Imports and uses detectSignatureType() to identify wallet type
  • Derives appropriate address based on detected signature type
  • Falls back to existing toAddress() for Arweave/unknown wallets

src/domain/clients/taskQueue.js - Uses key-based detection:

  • Removed inline address derivation functions (-41 lines)
  • Imports and uses detectKeyType() to identify wallet type
  • Derives appropriate address based on detected key type

  • Added ed25519_address() function for deriving base58-encoded Solana addresses
  • Updated get_owner() to handle Ed25519 (Type 2) and Solana (Type 4) signature types
  • Both signature types use identical 32-byte keys and base58 address derivation

Cargo.toml - Added cryptographic dependencies:

  • ed25519-dalek = { version = "2.1", features = ["digest"] } - Ed25519 signature verification
  • bs58 = "0.5.0" - Base58 encoding for Solana addresses
  • sha3 = "0.10.8" - SHA3 hashing (already present, used for Ethereum)

Technical Details

Address Derivation

Ethereum (EIP-55 checksummed):
0xf14376531c7e37908DB49415D2294cc9Cc51e21B

  • Handles both compressed (33-byte) and uncompressed (65-byte) secp256k1 keys
  • Both formats derive to the same address
  • Uses Keccak256 hashing and EIP-55 mixed-case checksum

Solana (base58):
4qGyVQ7ZrC2jjU1pHsLZT4swLV5GmYUPaXRX562eCbvD

  • Direct base58 encoding of 32-byte Ed25519 public key
  • Matches Solana blockchain standard
  • No hashing (unlike Ethereum)

Arweave (existing):
vLRHFqCw1uHu75xqB4fCDW-QxpkpJxBtFD9g4QYUbfw

  • No changes to existing Arweave address derivation

Detection Logic

By Signature Length (MU):

  • 87 chars base64url = Ethereum (65-byte ECDSA signature)
  • 86 chars base64url = Solana (64-byte Ed25519 signature)
  • 683 chars base64url = Arweave (512-byte RSA signature)

By Public Key Length (MU/CU):

  • 33 or 65 bytes = Ethereum (compressed/uncompressed secp256k1)
  • 32 bytes = Solana (Ed25519)
  • 512 bytes = Arweave (RSA modulus)

By Signature Type (SU/CU):

  • Type 1 = Arweave (RSA-PSS)
  • Type 2 = Ed25519 (generic)
  • Type 3 = Ethereum (secp256k1)
  • Type 4 = Solana (Ed25519, identical to Type 2)

Signature Verification (SU)

Ed25519/Solana:

  • Uses ed25519-dalek for signature verification
  • Verifies 64-byte signatures against 32-byte public keys
  • Strict validation (rejects invalid signatures)

Ethereum:

  • Existing ECDSA verification unchanged
  • Handles both compressed and uncompressed keys

Arweave:

  • Existing RSA-PSS verification unchanged

Error Handling

MU:

  • Invalid Ethereum/Solana keys throw errors and reject the DataItem (strict validation)
  • Validation happens inside derivation functions
  • Arweave and unknown wallet types gracefully fall back to existing toAddress()

SU:

  • Invalid Ed25519 signatures return verification failure
  • Malformed public keys are rejected
  • Unknown signature types default to existing Arweave handling

CU:

  • Invalid key lengths fall back to returning the Arweave transaction ID
  • No signature verification (CU only derives addresses)
  • Graceful degradation for unknown types

Unit Tests: 31 new tests (all passing)

  • Generated cryptographic test vectors using @noble/secp256k1 and @noble/ed25519

Add comments explaining fallback behavior when signature type is
'arweave' or 'unknown' - keeps using existing toAddress() result.

This clarifies that we intentionally let derivation errors throw
for ETH/Solana wallets (strict validation), while gracefully
handling Arweave/unknown wallet types.

Implements Ed25519 signature verification for both Ed25519 (Type 2)
and Solana (Type 4) wallet signatures in the Scheduler Unit (SU).

Changes:
- Add ed25519-dalek dependency (v2.1) to Cargo.toml
- Implement verify_ed25519() function following Ethereum patterns
- Update verify() router to handle Ed25519 and Solana signature types
- Add comprehensive unit tests for Ed25519/Solana verification

Both Ed25519 and Solana signatures route to the same verification
function since they use identical cryptography (64-byte signatures,
32-byte public keys on Curve25519).

Tests include:
- Signature type detection for Ed25519 and Solana
- Invalid signature/public key length validation
- Correct routing verification for both types

All tests passing. Fixes critical bug where Solana signatures were
incorrectly routed to RSA verification.

Add support for Solana (Ed25519) wallet addresses in the Compute Unit's
address derivation logic. This completes Solana wallet support across
the entire AO stack (MU, SU, and CU).

Changes:
- Add bs58 dependency for base58 encoding of Solana addresses
- Update SIG_CONFIG with ED25519 and SOLANA signature type entries
- Implement keyToSolanaAddress() function for deriving base58-encoded
  addresses from 32-byte Ed25519 public keys
- Update addressFrom() routing logic to handle 32-byte keys (both
  Ed25519 Type 2 and Solana Type 4 use identical derivation)
- Add comprehensive test coverage for Solana address derivation,
  consistency, differentiation from Ethereum, and graceful fallback
  for unknown key types

Technical Details:
- Solana addresses are simply base58-encoded public keys (no hashing)
- Both ANS-104 signature types 2 (Ed25519) and 4 (Solana) use 32-byte
  keys and derive addresses identically
- CU does not verify signatures (only derives addresses), so no
  signature verification code changes needed
- All existing code paths flow through addressFrom(), making this a
  complete implementation

Testing:
- All 4 new Solana-specific tests pass
- Existing tests continue to pass
- Tests cover known value validation (system program address),
  address consistency/caching, differentiation from Ethereum,
  and graceful fallback behavior
