+
+The VAA Processor Program
+
+(c) 2021 Randlabs, Inc.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This program is the core client to signed VAAs from Wormhole, working in tandem with the
+verify-vaa.teal stateless programs.
+
+The following application calls are available.
+
+prepare:   Load globals in scatchspace to be used by stateless programs. Must be TX#0.
+verify:  Verify guardian signature subset i..j, works in tandem with stateless program
+commit:  Commit verified VAA, processing it according to its payload. Must be last TX.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Global state:
+
+"gsexp"    :  Guardian set expiration time
+"gscount"  :  Guardian set size
+key N      :  address of guardian N
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Stores in scratch: 
+
+SLOT 254:  uint64 with bit field of approved guardians (initial 0)
+SLOT 255:  number of guardians in set 
+SLOT 4*i:  key of guardian i  (as of Nov'21 there are 19 guardians)
