Prop 2: Side Bridge DKG proposal

The previous DKG attempt failed. This proposal aims to initiate a new DKG.

This DKG proposal will create two Bitcoin vault addresses, one for holding the BTC and the other for RUNES in the Side Chain's Bitcoin bridge.

The private keys for these two custodial addresses will be divided into 21 shares and distributed among 21 well-known community members. Transactions will be signed through a Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS), requiring at least 15 out of the 21 nodes to participate in the signature process to produce a valid transaction signature.

The 21 participating communities are:

  • Nodes.Guru
  • Stakecito
  • polkachu.com
  • InfStones
  • Imperator.co
  • Allnodes
  • S16 Research Ventures
  • Ping Pub
  • DSRV
  • Citadel.one
  • Enigma
  • ContributionDAO
  • Lavender.Five Nodes :bee:
  • JRR Crypto
  • 01node
  • NodeStake
  • Informal Systems
  • HashKey Cloud
  • kingnodes :crown:
  • Swiss Staking
  • Kahuna

The Threshold Signature Scheme used for transaction signing is open-source, and the code repository can be found here: https://github.com/sideprotocol/shuttler.

The program has successfully passed a security audit conducted by BlockSec. The audit report is available at:
