# Modular Rust System: Key-Value Store, Vault, and EVM Client
This repository implements a modular, async, and cross-platform cryptographic stack in Rust. It is designed for use in both native (desktop/server) and WASM (browser) environments, supporting secure storage, cryptographic operations, and EVM (Ethereum) client functionality.
## Crate Overview
- **kvstore/**: Async key-value store trait and implementations (native: `sled`, WASM: IndexedDB).
- **vault/**: Cryptographic vault for managing encrypted keyspaces and key operations. Uses `kvstore` for persistence.
- **evm_client/**: EVM RPC client, integrates with `vault` for signing and secure key management.
- **cli_app/**: (Planned) Command-line interface for scripting and automation.
- **web_app/**: (Planned) WASM web app exposing the same APIs to JavaScript or browser scripting.
## Architecture Highlights
- **Async everywhere:** All APIs are async and runtime-agnostic.
- **Conditional backends:** Uses Cargo features and `cfg` to select the appropriate backend for each environment.
- **Secure by design:** Vault encrypts all key material at rest and leverages modern cryptography.
- **Tested natively and in browser:** WASM and native backends are both covered by tests.
## Building and Testing
### Prerequisites
- Rust (latest stable recommended)
- For WASM: `wasm-pack`, Firefox or Chrome (for browser tests)
### Native
```sh
cargo check --workspace --features kvstore/native
```
### WASM (kvstore only)
```sh
cd kvstore
wasm-pack test --headless --firefox --features web
```
