FROST

Description
FROST is a Schnorr threshold signature protocol designed for efficient distributed key generation and signing with low round complexity. It supports true threshold signing and concurrent signing operations, and can operate as a two-round protocol or as a single-round signing protocol with preprocessing. It identifies and excludes misbehaving participants after an aborted operation, is secure against adversaries controlling up to t-1 signers, and is built on Shamir secret sharing, Feldman verifiable secret sharing, and the discrete logarithm assumption.Category: Developer Tooling
Zebra
Project Links
Description
Developed by the Zcash Foundation, Zebra is a modern, modular Zcash node built from scratch in memory-safe Rust. It implements the same protocol as zcashd, can join the Zcash peer-to-peer network, and helps strengthen network resilience by validating and broadcasting transactions and maintaining blockchain state. As an alternative node implementation, it helps detect implementation-specific consensus issues and provides a path for Rust developers to develop for and contribute to Zcash.Category: Node Software
