 Excubiae is a generalized framework for on-chain gatekeepers that allows developers to define custom access control mechanisms using different on-chain credentials. By abstracting the gatekeeper logic, excubiae provides a reusable and composable solution for securing decentralised applications. This package provides a pre-defined set of specific excubia (_extensions_) for credentials based on different protocols.
