Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the issue's DevNet and QANet access problem and the listed Telegram suggestions, including deployment restrictions, ops keys, balance resets, and Stellar testnet bridging. Done requires an agreed access-control approach that confines development-network resources to team members.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, we are indulgent by letting anyone access our grid resources (DevNet, QANet) if he knows how to access them.

This practice has resulted in uninvited access to our development resources, and we have received reports of machines and public IP addresses being rented by unauthorized individuals.
To mitigate these issues, we need to restrict access to our development networks, confining the accessibility to only our team members.

Suggestions made so far on a recent TG discussion:

  • restrict deploying on DevNet from the tooling. Or

  • restrict holding TFTs on devnet for only team members by

    • switching from using known development substrate keys (Alice, Bob, etc) and using an ops key instead.
    • resetting balances including Alice (can be done by force transfer tokens to known team members).

in this case, we will also need to restrict TFTs on stellar testnet as it can be bridged to tfchain.

Let's discuss this in more detail. Additionally, please share any other ideas you may have.
