TABConf 6: FROST, The Production Impact and Why It Matters

Bitcoin key management keeps getting more demanding, especially as more offchain tools still rely on hot keys instead of safer cold key setups. This TABConf 6 panel explores how breakthroughs like Flexible Round Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures, or FROST, alongside Taproot, are changing the way builders think about private key security. The discussion covers the basics of FROST, how it compares with onchain and offchain multisig tools, different key aggregation approaches, and where tools like Frostsnap and other collaborative custody models fit in. A strong session for anyone thinking seriously about the future of Bitcoin security, privacy, and production ready custody.Recorded live at TABConf 6 in 2024.
