TL;DR We want to add privacy to the IC by enabling canisters to perform threshold key derivation Summary Empower dapps to perform encryption, threshold decryption, and signing on the IC by allowing canisters to call a threshold key derivation interface. This feature will enable canisters or individ…

gmgm reviving this thread for a moment with a question! I’m preparing to present vetKeys at ETH Milan next week. I’ll likely include the MEV protection ideas, but would love to hear if you guys have some ETH-centric applications where vetKeys could be an awesome addition. Let me know!

Seed phrase backup, via II and Vetkeys. If you lost access to your Metamask, you could restore the phrase, if you still somehow have access to your II. This is something we want to include in our MetaMask snap based IC wallet.

Is there an update on timelines? Also I’m starting to come to a concrete use case and hoping that vetKD will be sufficient. Essentially I want to create a canister that can publish packages to npm. To do this it would need to have the full auth token available to it unencrypted. vetKD could allow f…

Hi @lastmjs , we recently started thinking again about integration, we should be able to give an update in the next weeks. If I understand your use case, you mainly need an encryption key to transfer the token to the canister, since you then rely on SEV-SNP for storing the secret. One thing to notic…

[image] dom.icp ∞ @dominic_w NEW #ICP feature heads up: "vetKeys" coming ~6 months. Can be used to maintain SHARED encrypted data on-chain. Imagine limiting data access to chosen users. Potential applications huge 🔥⚡️💪 Math not trust. More soon. 5:58 PM - 10 Nov 2023 …

Hey guys, sorry for the late update! Some of our resources have been strategically reallocated to other high-impact projects, such as multi-chains integration. Moreover, we have to balance our efforts with other competing features like threshold Schnorr. So the timeline for VetKeys is not very clear…

I believe that integration into OpenChat and DSCVR and MEV will help us gain more users. I understand that Threshold Schnoer Signatures can earn TPS compared to ECDSA, but I think the use cases are few because it can only be utilized for BTC. I would like to see vetKey prioritized if possible.

Please do it all. Yesterday. Thank you :joy:

Hey, can we get an updated general timeline for how long vetKeys will take?
