Queries in Cosmos are unable to cryptographically authenticate the querier’s identity; Secret Network solves this by allowing contracts to have an encrypted viewing key that is used to validate the identity of the caller. This viewing key allows for decryption of a range of associated data for any given address. Secret Contracts allowance feature lets accounts designate a portion of their balance to other accounts. This is similar to the allowance feature of ERC-20 contracts, enabling other contracts to manage a portion of the addresses balance. To avoid leaking data, Secret Contracts can enforce constant length messages via padding. The output of transactions can include the following: callbacks to another contract call, a contract init, staking transactions, votes on proposals, instructions for sending funds from the contract’s wallet, an error section, and a data section of free-form bytes to be interpreted by the client or dApp with added support for additional types in the future
