Direct Integration with Bitcoin

Great questions!
Since subnets will be able to hold and control real Bitcoin/Ether, it is of paramount importance to ensure that Bitcoin/Ether are neither lost (for example because the subnet failed and cannot be recovered) nor stolen (for example because sufficiently many node providers collude to extract the secret key material).

The feature “Threshold ECDSA Signatures” is all about making it possible for subnets to hold Bitcoin/Ether in a secure manner. If you’d like to learn more about this feature including security assumptions and guarantees, I encourage you to post your questions directly on the dedicated forum page!
