ChillDKG and FROST threshold-key work advances
Developers publish a distributed key-generation design for FROST-style threshold signatures compatible with Bitcoin's Schnorr signatures.
On July 19, 2024, ChillDKG and FROST threshold-key work advances. Developers publish a distributed key-generation design for FROST-style threshold signatures compatible with Bitcoin's Schnorr signatures.
ChillDKG is a distributed-key-generation protocol designed for FROST-style threshold Schnorr signing. The work aimed to make multisignature-style custody possible without revealing an on-chain multisig script.
The event is historically useful because Bitcoin's development history is built not only from activated consensus changes but also from standards, implementation milestones, security maintenance and proposals that shape later engineering choices.
