IC-specific security patterns for canister development in Motoko and Rust. Covers access control, anonymous principal rejection, reentrancy prevention (CallerGuard pattern), async safety (saga pattern), callback trap handling, cycle drain protection, and safe upgrade patterns. Use when writing or modifying any canister that modifies state, handles tokens, makes inter-canister calls, or implements access control.

English

Motoko language pitfalls, modern syntax, and architecture patterns for the Internet Computer. Covers persistent actors, stable types, mo:core standard library, dot notation, mixins, and common compilation errors. Use when writing Motoko canister code, fixing Motoko compiler errors, or generating Motoko actors. Do NOT use for deployment, icp.yaml, or CLI commands.

English

Design and deploy multi-canister dapps. Covers inter-canister calls, canister factory pattern, async messaging pitfalls, bounded vs unbounded wait, and 2MB payload limits. Use when splitting an app across canisters, making inter-canister or cross-canister calls, or designing canister-to-canister communication. Do NOT use for single-canister apps.

English

Implement on-chain encryption using vetKeys (verifiable encrypted threshold key derivation). Covers key derivation, IBE encryption/decryption, transport keys, and access control. Use when adding encryption, decryption, on-chain privacy, vetKeys, or identity-based encryption to a canister. Do NOT use for authentication — use internet-identity instead.

English

Includes Canister Security, Multi Canister, and other workflows.
