Threshold empowers user sovereignty by delivering a suite of threshold cryptography services for web3 applications through a decentralized network of nodes.
Threshold cryptography is a revolutionary technology that uses cryptography – the same branch of mathematics that made Bitcoin and Ethereum possible – to unlock greater utility and usability for digital assets without needing to trust a centralized party.
Threshold cryptography distributes sensitive operations across multiple independent entities – like nodes in a network – and requires a threshold, or minimum number of those entities to cooperate for the operation to be successful. This simple idea increases an information system’s security and availability, and reduces the reliance on trusted parties since no one single actor can corrupt the system.
Threshold is community-driven and governed by a DAO. The DAO is a three-pronged system, based on Compound’s Governor Bravo: the Token Holder DAO, Staker DAO and Elected Council. Each of these holds the other two accountable, and they each hold separate responsibilities that are embedded in the governance structure.
