FROST from the Command Line

At our next Gordian Meeting—a developer community focused on wallet
interoperability, L0 security, and privacy—we’ll be presenting the first
iteration of our command-line tools designed as a playground for
experimenting with FROST multisignatures.

Our upcoming demo will showcase how to use these tools to sign a Bitcoin
Taproot transaction using FROST. While this example targets Bitcoin and the
BIP-340 Schnorr signature scheme, our tools also support ed25519, thus
enabling experimentation with broader use cases for any Schnorr-based FROST
signatures.

I’ve shared here before how Distributed Key Generation (DKG) can radically
shift our thinking around decentralized identity. With DKG, even key
creation no longer needs to be centralized.

This opens the door not only to improved resilience—such as
share-loss-tolerant quorums—but also to new decentralized scenarios
including: distributed issuance, distributed revocation, edge identifiers (
https://www.blockchaincommons.com/musings/musings-cliques-1/) and much more.

The meeting is this upcoming Wednesday, August 6th, at 10am PDT.
