IdentityValueNode

A node that represents the main wallet that should own things.

For instance, in an web application, the identity would be the user's wallet; in a terminal, the identity would be the wallet identitied by solana address; etc.

Note that a similar node exists for representing the main wallet that should pay for things — the PayerValueNode. In practice, the identity and the payer are often the same but allowing the program maintainer to offer this distinction can be useful should they be different.
