Hello Zcash nation,

We are applying or a ZCG grant to turbo-charge the Zenith Full Node wallet with:

- FROST Multi-Signature wallets, using distributed key generation
- Keystone Hardware wallet integration

Our [grant application](https://github.com/ZcashCommunityGrants/zcashcommunitygrants/issues/24) is available on Github and you can see our full proposal [here](https://hedgedoc.vergara.tech/s/89YHU6rOf#).

As always, we welcome your feedback and questions 😃

Our proposed approach to have different instances of Zenith communicate with each other for Frost ceremonies is flexible and can support strict participant-to-participant communications, or a “private bulletin board” approach where participants publish their Frost packages for all other participants to see and use.

@conradoplg are there any drawbacks of the bulletin board approach for distributed key generation? How about for signing?

No particular drawbacks, but worth noting that the fastest path IMO would be to simply use the [FROST server](https://frost.zfnd.org/zcash/server.html) we have developed

Thank you!

We are proposing a decentralized approach for instances of the Zenith wallet to communicate with each other for FROST ceremonies.

Thank you!!! Unfortunately, the market is bad and we are trying to calculate our strength. But as soon as the opportunity arises, we will definitely come back to this project.
