Fireblocks-3MI Plan for NIST Threshold Schnorr/EdDSA

January 26, 2026

Presenters

Nikolaos Makriyannis - Fireblocks @ USA

Description

"Preview Talk" (by Team Fireblocks-3MI) @ MPTS 2026, in reply to the NIST Threshold Call

Abstract. In this talk, I will speak on behalf of the Fireblocks–3MI team about our intention to submit a distributed Schnorr signing protocol based on the folklore three-round construction. I will introduce the team and the organizations leading this effort (Fireblocks and 3MI Labs), and explain why this threshold initiative is crucial for the cryptocurrency and broader Web3 ecosystem. The technical part of the talk will cover the variant of the folklore protocol described in ePrint 2022/1332.

Joint work: Michael Adjedj, Tomer Ashur, Amit Singh Bhati, Geoffroy Couteau, Cyprien Delpech de Saint Guilhem, Michael Gutkin, Nikos Makriyannis.
