Description

@truthixify

Tier: M (2-4 days) Type: writing

Context

Cold storage and air-gapped wallets need a documented offline signing pattern. SDK is gaining an offline-sign helper. Show the full workflow end-to-end.

Scope

Write docs/guides/stellar-offline-signing.mdx:

  • Threat model: when offline signing actually helps
  • Three-step workflow: build offline → sign offline → submit online
  • SDK helpers (prepareOfflineStellarTransaction etc.)
  • QR code transfer patterns between online and offline machine
  • Hardware wallet integration (Ledger, etc.)
  • Stealth withdrawal specific guidance (derived stealth keys never need to go online)

Acceptance criteria

  • Page committed
  • End-to-end workflow demonstrated
  • Hardware wallet section honest about current limitations
  • Linked from SDK Stellar + Security overview

Files to start with

  • New: docs/guides/stellar-offline-signing.mdx
