Bondify's stateless auth eliminates database round-trips with local HMAC verification
Bondify introduces a stateless authentication model where login verification happens locally via HMAC, eliminating the need for a network call to the provider. The system uses a JWT proof signed with a shared webhook secret, allowing servers to verify identities without external dependencies. This approach reduces latency and removes a potential point of failure in the auth hot path.

The approach is clever but relies on a shared secret, which introduces its own key management challenges; still, it's a practical optimization for Telegram-based auth flows.
