Building tools for next gen money.
Frostsnap ❄ allows you to protect
bitcoin behind multiple keys.
For example, you could arrange a '2-of-3' multisignature which
requires any two of three devices to sign in order to spend. One key
could be on your phone, one key on a hardware wallet device, and
third key hidden away somewhere or with a friend.
An alternative scenario is a company that controls treasury and
identity they need to protect. A group of executives can generate a
Frostsnap key which they share, requiring 5-of-10 excetutives to
sign in order to take actions on behalf of the company.
The ownership of this money and indentity (read: social media) is
cryptographically protected through mathematics; making you secure,
soverign, and uncensorable.
FROST has good privacy, scales well with fees, and is malleable (can add
or remove signers after key generation!). 🪄
polynomials ❄.
Team (Lloyd, Adam, myself) have been giving small demos of our stealth
Frostsnap project.
Spoke @
BitcoinAlive on
Next Gen Multisig and a panel on
Bitcoin not Shitcoin.
Implemented FROST in the
secp256kfun
library. Started a work in progress ROAST wrapper to make these
multisignatures robust, guaranteeing signatures even in unreliable
environments.
Hacking things into
Nostr such as
frostr: the world's first shared-custody social media account.
Built a demonstration of
blind schnorr signatures 👀
which runs entirely in browser using WASM 🦀 and it can even sign a
Nostr post!
Attending
Bitcoin Bushbashes
and giving talks on things I am overly excited about.
Novice market making in a part of a small team - cross exchange
(centralised and decentralised). Separately: hedged rebalancing,
algorithmic order excecution with CLI tooling development (e.g. limit
chase orders with functional sizing).
