Seshat's symbol, portrayed as headdress

Academic research has pointed to a discernable similarity in the design, symmetry, and characteristics of Seshat's symbolic headdress to the shadows cast by the vertical gnomon. It is possible to create a geometric drawing using observation and measurements by applying a specific solar method of locating the cardinal points, that is almost identical to the symbol portrayed over Seshat's head. In the sign of Seshat can be seen the gnomon (stem), the directions radiating from the center (rosette) in which the shadows of the gnomon can be oriented within a year at the latitude of Egypt, north of the Tropic of Cancer, and the curve (arc with two feathers or horns situated over the rosette) representing limits in which the shadows can move in connection with the apparent path of the sun in the sky during solstices or equinoxes.

Seshat is the only female deity who was depicted in the act of writing. Several other prominent female myth figures were depicted holding the scribe’s palette and brush, indicating that they had the ability to write, but were never shown actively engaged in writing. Seshat was also attributed responsibility for the written works produced by the temples she "helped" create and which were housed in its House of Life. Furthermore, she was to gather these works into her eternal library in the gods' realm. Some deities in Egyptian mythology played seemingly overlapping roles, but they were marked by specificity. For instance, though the gift of writing was given to man by Thoth, his consort Seshat collected the works, took care of them in the libraries on earth, and preserved them on her shelves in the heavens for eternity.

From at least the Second Dynasty sheSeshat was believed to be occupied with sighting the stars and planets. There are also records of her providing assistance to the pharaoh in the ritual of a ritual known as “pedj shes” (“stretching the cord”) associated with a ritual known as “pedjastronomical shes”and (“stretchingastrological themeasurements cord”), conducted as part of the foundation ritualsused in the construction of stonetemples, palaces, tombs, buildingsand forts. The “cord” refers to the mason’s line which was used to measure out the dimensions of the building. Buildings' floor plans were laid out during the "stretching the cord" ceremony after an appropriate area of land had been selected.

In the case of temples, the ritual involved determining their orientation through astronomical observation and measurement. This was usually achieved by sighting the stars of a northern circumpolar constellation with a merkhet, a notched wooden instrument. The determined north-south orientation was frequently used for the temple's short axis. According to some texts, the king was assisted in this ritual by Seshat.

In the ritual, Seshat acted as keeper of ground plans and charts. She was also tasked with recording the pharaoh’s jubilees, such as in the Sed Festival, cattle counts, and the pharaoh’s campaigns. Reliefs found in temples of the Old Kingdom (c. 2575–c. 2130 BCE) and Middle Kingdom (c. 1938–c. 1630 BCE) portray her as the recorder of numbers of captives and spoils following military campaigns.

According to Egyptian myth, Seshat and Thoth had a child called Hornub, whose name means "gold Horus." Because of this, Seshat was sometimes associated with Isis. She was the scribe of the pharaoh, tasked with recording his achievements. She was also thought to record the actions of all people on the leaves of the sacred Persea tree. Seshat is the only female deity who was depicted in the act of writing. Several other prominent female myth figures were depicted holding the scribe’s palette and brush, indicating that they had the ability to write, but were never shown actively engaged in writing.

Seshat was known by the epithet “Mistress of the House of Books” because she looked after the library of the gods and was the patron of all earthly libraries. She was also patron of all forms of writing, including accounting, auditing, and census taking. According to one myth, it was Seshat who invented writing, but it was her husband Thoth who taught the people to write. Seshat was also given the epithet “Mistress of the House of Architects,” although she never had a temple dedicated to her.

Loop Crypto provides autopay functionality in the Web3 environment by providing a suite of application programming interfaces (APIs), tooling, and smart contracts. The company offers a payment gateway loop based on a web3 native non-custodial payment processor to facilitate autopay for non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets. Loop is available on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Optimism networks.

The Loop Crypto protocol does not lock up funds and does not necessitate withdrawals, meaning that users can maintain control of their assets without the need to sign every recurring transaction. Loop Crypto markets its solution particularly to Web3 companies, Web3 company partners, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and cryptocurrency communities.

Using the token allowance function, users can limit the amount of funds a company can bill and change or revoke this amount at any time. The allowance function is the only transaction that requires signing. Users may edit this amount in the wallet before the transaction is signed, and anytime afterwards. Loop works similarly to other solutions of this type but differs in that it uses a smart contract layer to process transactions on the blockchain.

When users reduce their wallet's allowance with the Loop smart contract to 0, it becomes impossible for the platform to process a transaction, as there is no authorization from the user. Conversely, users have the option of limiting the maximum amount for a Loop contract by setting the allowance to a specific amount.

Users only pay gas fees to manage their authorization (i.e., set or modify their token allowance). Users never pay gas fees for automatic transactions.
