BIP Draft: "FROST Signing"

Jul 31 - Aug 1, 2024

  • Sivaram has introduced a draft for a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) focused on the FROST threshold signing protocol.

The proposal is comprehensive, detailing design aspects, guidelines for usage, considerations regarding security, and includes a Python implementation along with test vectors for practical reference. To facilitate review and feedback, the draft has been made accessible at https://github.com/siv2r/bip-frost-signing. However, it's important to note that the draft does not address key generation for FROST. Instead, it points towards existing resources for this purpose, namely the ChillDKG BIP available at https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/bip-frost-dkg and RFC 9792's Appendix C, which can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9591/. Sivaram emphasizes the importance of community feedback on this initiative.
