credits.aleo

credits.aleo is the built-in system program on Aleo that handles all native credit operations. Every fee payment, credit transfer, staking action, and delegation call goes through this program.

Key transitions include:

• transfer_public - Move credits between addresses using public balances
• transfer_private - Move credits using private records
• transfer_private_to_public - Unshield credits from private to public
• transfer_public_to_private - Shield credits from public to private
• bond_public - Stake credits with a validator
• unbond_public - Begin unstaking credits

This is the most-called program on the network. Any agent that handles value transfer, fee estimation, or staking will interact with credits.aleo directly.
