## 📋 Architecture Decisions

### **✅ Correct Decisions**
1. **Rust Language**: Memory safety, performance, modern tooling
2. **SecureString**: Zeroize-on-drop for sensitive data
3. **Amount Type**: Prevents overflow, handles precision correctly
4. **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error types and propagation
5. **Modular Design**: Clean separation of concerns
6. **Organized Testing**: Professional test file structure

### **⚠️ Areas Needing Review**
1. **Server Trust Model**: Centralized system requires different security assumptions
2. **API Design**: Should match Python/C++ exactly for compatibility
3. **Database Schema**: Per-chain depth tracking implemented correctly
4. **Error Messages**: User-friendly and actionable

---

## 🚨 Critical Implementation Notes

### **Server-Centric Design**
- **No Balance Storage**: Server only validates, doesn't store balances
- **Transaction Validation**: All operations require server confirmation
- **Centralized Authority**: Webcash LLC controls all monetary policy
- **Trust-Based**: Users trust Webcash LLC like a traditional bank

### **Security Considerations**
- **Memory Safety**: Rust prevents common vulnerabilities
- **Cryptographic Security**: Proper use of SHA256 and secure random
- **Input Validation**: All user inputs must be validated
- **Error Handling**: Fail securely, don't leak sensitive information

### **Compatibility Requirements**
- **API Compatibility**: Must match Python/C++ wallet behavior exactly
- **File Format**: Wallet files should be compatible
- **Command Interface**: CLI should work identically
- **Error Messages**: Should match existing implementations
