Technical Overview

SUBFROST operates as a Layer-0, building fraud proofs as ZK circuits to ensure the integrity of its operations. At its core, SUBFROST uses the FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) signature scheme, allowing signing groups of up to 255 participants to collectively sign transactions. This decentralized approach to custody is managed by a peer-to-peer network built on QUIC and libp2p, ensuring robust and secure communication.

We will cover the core components, including:

  • FROST Protocol: The threshold signature scheme that powers decentralized custody.
  • Alkanes Metaprotocol: The bridge that pegs SUBFROST to the Bitcoin protocol.
  • Subrail: The WASM runtime for executing consensus-critical logic.
  • Peer-to-Peer Networking: The communication layer built on QUIC and libp2p.
