Description

Orchestrators and broadcaster can use a single registry to approve/revoke signers that sign off-chain data on behalf of their main ETH account. Any contract that supports approved signers should be aware of this registry and during signature validation should:

- Check if the recovered address from a signature matches the provided address
- If not, check if the recovered address is an approved signer in the registry for the provided address

Research direction

Start by locating the orchestrator and broadcaster contracts, then find every contract that validates off-chain signatures or supports approved signers. Trace the existing approval and signature paths first; the work is done when those contracts consistently fall back to the shared registry only when the recovered signer differs from the provided main-account address.
