WalkthroughThis change adds mnemonic-backed masternode operator BLS key support. Wallets discover BIP39 seeds, derive keys through the DashSync-compatible path, reserve and release indexes, commit public-key mappings, and recover keys by public key. The wallet database stores public-key and derivation-index mappings. Legacy and descriptor wallets expose seed APIs. Node and wallet interfaces expose the new operations. Tests cover derivation, persistence, recovery, restrictions, conflicts, and invalid data. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds persistent operator-key recovery metadata and bounded synchronous key scans. Merge readiness is reduced because database reload behavior is not directly tested, and worst-case recovery or reservation may temporarily block the calling wallet operation until these risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

3866-3885: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider caching the walk result to avoid repeated 500-leaf BLS derivation.
WalkMasternodeOperatorSecretsderives every leaf up toMASTERNODE_OPERATOR_KEY_LIMIT(500). Each iteration performs a BLS child derivation plusGetPublicKey(), which is a group scalar multiplication.ReserveMasternodeOperatorKeypays this cost on every reservation, andGetMasternodeOperatorKeypays the full 500-leaf cost on every miss and on every record mismatch. The call runs on the caller's thread, so a GUI or RPC thread blocks for the duration.Consider caching an index-to-public-key map for the current seed, built once per unlocked session, and reuse it for both reservation selection and recovery lookup. The secret can still be derived on demand for the single matching index.

Preliminary review — Codex only
The operator-key derivation and lifecycle implementation is generally careful, but mnemonic-only restoration can reuse an operator key that was previously rotated or revoked because reservation consults only current deterministic-masternode state and wallet-local records. The PR also omits its new Dash-specific files from the non-backported manifest and leaves sensitive BLS chain-code intermediates uncleansed during its new production derivation flow.

In `src/wallet/wallet.cpp`:
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:4001-4008: Mnemonic restoration can reuse a revoked operator key
A mnemonic-only restoration has no entries in `m_mn_operator_indexes`, so reservation excludes a derived key only when the caller supplies it in `in_use`. The node API added by this PR exposes operator keys from the current deterministic masternode list, but a ProUpRegTx rotation replaces the old key and a ProUpRevTx clears it through `ResetOperatorFields()`. The previously used key therefore disappears from both available sources, allowing index 0 to be reserved again and potentially reusing the exact secret that was revoked after compromise. Reservation needs a recoverable record of historical operator-key usage, such as scanning relevant ProRegTx/ProUpRegTx history or another used-index marker that survives mnemonic-only restoration.
- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:3833-3849: Cleanse intermediate BLS chain-code state
The new wallet derivation path repeatedly invokes `bls::ExtendedPrivateKey::PrivateChild()` using mnemonic-derived state. Although `PrivateKey` storage and the serialized leaf secret are cleansed, `ChainCode` has no destructor and its `bn_t` contents remain on the stack after each temporary is destroyed. `PrivateChild()` also leaves the `IRight` and `hmacKey` arrays uncleansed. This PR newly makes that code a production path for wallet-derived operator credentials, so the BLS chain-code object and local derivation buffers need secure cleanup as part of this change.
In `test/util/data/non-backported.txt`:
- [SUGGESTION] test/util/data/non-backported.txt:84: Track the new Dash-specific source files
The PR adds three Dash-specific files, but none is listed in `non-backported.txt`. This manifest supplies the file set used by the Dash cppcheck and clang-format-diff workflows, so the omissions silently exclude the new public interface, wallet header, and unit test from those dedicated checks. `src/hash_x11.h` is already present and should remain followed by the three new paths.

I think the structure here should be improved before this is merged. The wallet should expose a narrowly scoped capability to derive a masternode operator key, rather than adding generic APIs that return the wallet's raw BIP39 seed. In particular, The planned scope should include both mnemonic-backed descriptor wallets and mnemonic-backed legacy wallets. Legacy support is a modest addition when implemented behind the same narrow derivation capability: the legacy manager owns one A cleaner split would be:
The reservation API should also follow the existing Concretely, I am requesting that this PR be reworked to:
A larger wallet-wide mnemonic-store refactor may be worthwhile eventually because descriptor wallets currently duplicate mnemonic material across managers, but that should be separate from this feature. This PR should avoid exposing that existing storage detail through a new general raw-seed API. 🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex on behalf of pasta. |

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)
The exact head resolves all three prior findings: active-chain history now preserves rotated and revoked operator keys, BLS derivation intermediates are securely cleansed, and the new Dash-specific files are included in the non-backported manifest. The remaining CodeRabbit fixture-cleanup comment is also fixed at the current head, so no in-scope findings remain.

9c3f4ff fix(bls): cleanse generated secret candidate (pasta) Pull request description: ## Issue being fixed or feature implemented `CBLSSecretKey::MakeNewKey()` retains the accepted 32-byte random candidate in its stack buffer after constructing the secret key. The candidate is private key material and should not remain recoverable from the stack longer than necessary. This is an existing issue in random BLS generation, including the `bls generate` RPC. It is intentionally split from #7594 because the wallet-derived operator-key path does not call `MakeNewKey()`. ## What was done? Cleanse the candidate buffer immediately after the key-generation retry loop, before publishing the resulting key as valid. ## How Has This Been Tested? - `make -C src -j6 test/test_dash` - `src/test/test_dash --run_test=bls_tests` (20 cases passed) - `test/lint/lint-includes.py` - `test/lint/lint-whitespace.py` - `git clang-format --diff upstream/develop -- src/bls/bls.cpp` - `git diff --check` Tested on macOS 15/Apple Silicon using the repository depends toolchain. ## Breaking Changes None. ## Checklist: - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [ ] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [ ] I have added or updated relevant unit/integration/functional/e2e tests - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [ ] I have assigned this pull request to a milestone This pull request was created by Codex.

Preliminary review — Codex only
The deterministic derivation and consume-before-return flow is well bounded, but historical-use recovery remains unsafe in three paths: synchronization can precede window materialization, descriptor fast rescans can omit provider assignments, and marker-write failures do not block later issuance. The production derivation path also retains sensitive intermediates in the vendored DashBLS implementation.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3790451823)
`restored_from_user_mnemonic` is set only while creating a first-run wallet. A pre-existing mnemonic wallet without `mnopidx` records, including an encrypted wallet first opened after upgrading, therefore proceeds into `AttachChain()` with an empty operator-key window. Provider transactions synchronized during attachment, catch-up, or a later rescan cannot be matched; `m_mn_operator_marks_missed` merely logs and is then cleared when the window is materialized, without requiring a replacement rescan or preventing issuance. The first-run and `upgradetohd` materialization calls also ignore lock, derivation, and database failures before scanning. A historically assigned key that has since been rotated or revoked can consequently be returned again. Materialize and verify the window before synchronization, retain observed assignments for later reconciliation, or persist a fail-closed recovery state that blocks issuance until a successful rescan.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3790451824)
Fast rescanning is disabled only when `m_mn_operator_keys` is already nonempty. A mnemonic-backed descriptor wallet loaded without records can therefore enable `FastWalletRescanFilter` even though its historical operator-key usage is unresolved. The BASIC filter does not commit `pubKeyOperator`, so a block containing an otherwise unrelated ProRegTx or ProUpRegTx assignment can be skipped without reaching `MaybeMarkMasternodeOperatorKeyUsed()`; in this path even `m_mn_operator_marks_missed` remains false. First use can then materialize a clean window and issue a historically assigned key after it has rotated out of the current masternode list. Disable filtered rescanning whenever the wallet has a supported but unresolved operator-key source, rather than checking only whether the window is already materialized.
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:4003-4010: Fail closed when a rescan cannot persist a used marker
(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3797767364)
When `WriteMasternodeOperatorKey()` fails while processing a provider transaction, the hook only logs and returns. The surrounding rescan or live synchronization can still complete and advance synchronization state without retaining a durable recovery error. Once writes recover, `GetNewMasternodeOperatorKey()` can persist its own consumption marker and return the same key whose historical assignment was not recorded, especially after rotation or revocation removes it from the current masternode list. The `database_write_failure_withholds_the_key` test explicitly demonstrates this unsafe result by restoring writes and expecting index 0 to be issued after its provider marker failed. Propagate the scan failure or retain a fail-closed state that blocks issuance until the assignment has been replayed and durably recorded.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3797385717)
This makes `bls::ExtendedPrivateKey::FromSeed()` and repeated `PrivateChild()` assignments a production path for wallet-root-derived credentials. The current vendored implementation leaves the stack-based `IRight` and `hmacKey` arrays uncleansed, while `ChainCode` has neither a wiping destructor nor a secure assignment path. Cleanup of secure allocations and RELIC scalar state is also not exception-safe. Harden these primitives through the normal DashBLS upstream/subtree workflow so chain codes, HMAC inputs and outputs, keys, and scalar intermediates are wiped in every supported RELIC allocation mode.

The deterministic derivation and consume-before-return flow are generally careful, but historical-use recovery remains fail-open in three paths: synchronization before window materialization, filtered descriptor rescans, and used-marker write failures. The persisted unrecovered-range record only warns and does not prevent issuance, so historically assigned keys can still be returned; the new production derivation path also retains sensitive intermediates in the vendored DashBLS implementation.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3790451823)
Window materialization before `AttachChain()` is limited to a mnemonic supplied while creating this particular wallet. A pre-existing mnemonic wallet opened after upgrading, including a locked encrypted wallet without `mnopidx` records, can therefore attach and synchronize with an empty window, causing provider assignments to be discarded. Later materialization records an unrecovered range only if that record can be written, and `GetNewMasternodeOperatorKey()` merely logs the range before continuing to issue a key. Thus a historically assigned key that has rotated or been revoked can still be returned. Materialization must succeed before synchronization, or issuance must remain blocked until a durable recovery state is cleared by a covering unfiltered rescan.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3790451824)
Fast descriptor rescanning is disabled only when `m_mn_operator_keys` is already nonempty. A mnemonic-backed descriptor wallet loaded without records can therefore use `FastWalletRescanFilter` while its operator-key history is unresolved. The BASIC filter does not commit `pubKeyOperator`, so blocks containing otherwise unrelated ProRegTx or ProUpRegTx assignments may be skipped without invoking `MaybeMarkMasternodeOperatorKeyUsed()`. Disabling the filter after a window appears cannot replay blocks skipped earlier, and the later unrecovered-range marker only warns rather than blocking issuance. Disable filtered rescanning whenever a supported operator-key source has unresolved history, not only after its window has been materialized.

When `WriteMasternodeOperatorKey()` fails while processing a provider transaction, the hook only logs and returns. The surrounding rescan or live synchronization can still advance without durable or in-memory evidence of the failure. After database writes recover, key issuance can consume and return the same key whose assignment was not recorded, particularly after rotation or revocation removes it from the current deterministic list. The `database_write_failure_withholds_the_key` test explicitly preserves this behavior by expecting index 0 to be issued after the sync-hook write fails.

- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet/scriptpubkeyman.cpp:52-59: Cleanse BLS extended-derivation intermediates
(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7594#discussion_r3797385717)
This makes `bls::ExtendedPrivateKey::FromSeed()` and repeated `PrivateChild()` calls a production path for wallet-root-derived credentials, but the vendored DashBLS implementation is unchanged. `extendedprivatekey.cpp` leaves stack-based `IRight` and `hmacKey` arrays uncleansed, while `ChainCode` has no wiping destructor or secure assignment path; cleanup of allocations and RELIC scalar state is also not exception-safe. Harden these primitives through the normal DashBLS upstream/subtree workflow so chain codes, HMAC inputs and outputs, private-key material, and scalar intermediates are wiped in every supported allocation mode.

The branch has been force-updated as a two-commit re-cut:
The wallet now persists a monotonic consumption watermark before exposing a secret, scans current-list conflicts gap-limit style without holding This re-cut removes the fixed 500-key registry, pending/index records, unrecovered-range state, and rescan coupling that the stale-index, pre-window rescan, advisory-window verification, and failed used-marker threads reviewed. Fast-filter misses are now an explicitly documented accepted gap. BLS intermediate cleansing remains correctly routed through dashpay/bls-signatures#127 and the #7608 subtree import rather than this PR. Local validation on the final code: wallet library, 🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex on behalf of pasta. |
Descriptor wallets backed by a single mnemonic can derive DashSync-compatible operator BLS keys at m/9'/coin'/3'/3'/index. Consumption is lowest-index-first and permanent, tracked by a watermark persisted before any secret is exposed. Issuance scans candidates against the current masternode list gap-limit style and a persisted lookahead of derived public keys lets sync/rescan advance the watermark opportunistically without the seed. Reuse protection is best-effort by design: it avoids accidental reuse without guaranteeing historical uniqueness, which the network's current-list uniqueness rules make harmless. Legacy wallets are intentionally unsupported: legacy is deprecated and DashPay is descriptor-only, so a new feature should not entrench it. They keep bls generate plus a separate key backup.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)
At exact head 198a9e2, the implementation uses a source-tagged monotonic watermark, persists consumption before exposing a secret, and explicitly limits historical recognition to best effort; no in-scope correctness finding remains. The former fixed-window and rescan-coupling findings are obsolete, while the recognition-write failure behavior and BLS intermediate cleansing are explicitly deferred limitations with separate follow-up handling.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)
The operator-key implementation preserves its persist-before-expose invariant, but the new public CWallet issuance API does not encode the required negative wallet-lock capability. Adding the annotation will prevent future callers from accidentally retaining recursive cs_wallet ownership while the callback acquires chainstate locks.

- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet/wallet.h:1056-1057: Require operator-key issuance to enter without cs_wallet
GetNewMasternodeOperatorKey() intentionally invokes is_in_use outside its own cs_wallet scopes because the callback may acquire cs_main. Since cs_wallet is recursive, a caller that already holds it can still enter this method: leaving the method's nested LOCK scope does not release the caller's recursion level, so the callback runs while cs_wallet remains held. An EVO-backed callback then acquires cs_main after cs_wallet, reversing the required lock order and potentially deadlocking against a chain thread that holds cs_main and is waiting for the wallet. The current interface wrapper calls the method without the lock, but this new public CWallet API should encode that requirement for future callers and thread-safety analysis.

Exact-head verification found no correctness blockers: the operator-key issuance API now encodes its negative cs_wallet requirement, and the test fixture removes its forced keypool setting during teardown. One non-blocking commit-history cleanup remains because the final two commits add and immediately remove a runtime assertion, leaving only an annotation that belongs with the original wallet feature.

- [SUGGESTION] <commit:4a03d9f>:1: Fold the lock-contract fixups into the wallet feature
Commit `4a03d9f56dd` adds both the negative `cs_wallet` annotation and a runtime assertion to `GetNewMasternodeOperatorKey()`, while the immediately following commit `11f564b94ab` removes the assertion and leaves only the annotation. This records a transient review iteration for an API introduced by `198a9e2eb93` instead of a meaningful standalone change. Fold the final annotation into the wallet feature commit and drop the assertion addition/removal from the published history.

what is consumption watermark? Is it counter for used indexes in derivation path?
if so, I assume that's a bad naming because I hadn't seen watermark anywhere in wallet's codebase or any DIP / BIP

let's don't add this feature to legacy wallets but keep it for descriptor wallets to reduce scope.
Legacy wallets is subject to be deprecated in v25 and removed in the later versions (year 2028-2030 probably).

it looks like DescriptorScriptPubKeyMan::DeriveMasternodeOperatorKeys is more workaround rather than new descriptor.
I haven't comprehended PR fully, but it looks very much as:
- derivation path doesn't work for root private key without mnemonic [supposed to work, mnemonic is a just a way to get private key for easy backups]
- the bunch of code is re-implemented copy-pasted from Descriptor Wallet
- probably the better solution is adding
bls(...)descriptor so it will give user some control for derivations paths and give users more freedom if they need it in the future.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Dash Core generates masternode operator BLS keys at random. The operator must back up each key separately from the wallet seed. If the key is lost, the operator must rotate to a new key with a ProUpRegTx.
DashSync (the wallet library behind the iOS and Android DashPay apps) already derives operator keys from the wallet mnemonic, at path
m/9'/coin'/3'/3'/index. This PR adds the same derivation to Dash Core.For users: the recovery phrase becomes the only backup a masternode operator needs. The same mnemonic produces the same operator keys in Dash Core, iOS, and Android.
For developers: new node and wallet interface methods that follow-up RPC and GUI PRs will consume. This PR deliberately contains no RPC or GUI changes.
What was done?
Two commits.
Commit 1 (
feat(evo)) addsinterfaces::EVO::isMasternodeOperatorKeyInUse(pubkey). It reports whether a BLS public key is an operator key in the masternode list at the current chain tip, checking both BLS scheme encodings (legacy and basic). The wallet uses it to skip keys that are already registered. It is a convenience check, not a safety mechanism: DIP3 consensus already rejects duplicate operator keys, and an unready node simply answers "not in use".Commit 2 (
feat(wallet)) teaches descriptor wallets backed by a single mnemonic to derive operator keys on the DashSync path. The design decisions, and why:mnopnextrecord tagged with the seed source. There is no fixed candidate window and no per-key records — any index up to a 1,000,000 sanity bound is derivable on demand. (Earlier iterations of this branch materialized a 500-key window with per-pubkey records; that fixed bound bought nothing and its stored state had to be kept consistent with rescans. All of it is gone.)mnoplookrecord) so the transaction-sync path can match ProRegTx/ProUpRegTx operator keys without the seed — it works while the wallet is locked, and BLS keys are compared by value so legacy-vs-basic encodings cannot cause a miss. Any match advances the watermark past the matched index. This is recognition, not recovery: a miss costs nothing that the issuance scan does not already cover.FromSeedBLS scheme), verified against DashSync's own test vectors. Defining a cleaner Core-only path was rejected: it would break cross-platform seed recovery, which is the whole point.bls generateplus a separate key backup keeps working.Where review helps most:
cs_walletwhile querying the masternode-list predicate and re-validates after re-acquiring it (watermark moved, wallet locked, source changed). A flaw there could burn or double-issue an index.How Has This Been Tested?
New unit tests:
evo_dip3_activation_tests/operator_key_in_use_follows_current_list: register a key → reported in use; rotate it (ProUpRegTx) → old key free, new key in use; revoke (ProUpRevTx) → free.masternode_operator_tests(11 cases): DashSync known-answer vectors on mainnet and testnet, including a mnemonic passphrase; watermark and lookahead persistence and permanence; sync-path recognition advancing the watermark under both BLS encodings, including a hit above the watermark consuming everything below it; the issuance scan consuming past in-use keys; locked-wallet behavior, including a lock arriving mid-scan; database write failure returns no key and leaves state consistent; consumption surviving wallet reload; stale (foreign-seed) and malformed records ignored without failing the load; legacy and other unsupported wallets failing closed.Also ran
wallet_tests,walletdb_tests,walletload_tests,scriptpubkeyman_tests, and thewallet_fast_rescan.pyfunctional test. Each commit builds and passes tests on its own. Lint (circular dependencies, whitespace) is clean.Breaking Changes
None. Older software ignores the new
mnopnext/mnoplookwallet records.One known caveat, accepted by design: after a seed restore, the wallet only avoids indexes it can see are in use (current masternode list, plus whatever provider transactions sync happens to observe). An index whose key was used and revoked long ago can be handed out again. This cannot affect consensus or funds.
