FROST needs 2 rounds.
Most implementations run each round at signing time.
Frostr v2 uses persistent Nostr relay connections that keep signers hydrated with nonce commitments in the background.
Time to sign? Round 1 is already done.
Same protocol. Same security. Near instant!

2026-04-08 23:05:57 UTC

Split key into shares.
M-of-N signs.
No single party ever holds the complete key.
The signature that comes out is a standard BIP-340 Schnorr.
Indistinguishable from a single signer.
Nobody ever knows...

2026-04-07 20:02:15 UTC

For Nostr to scale, private key custody MUST work for:
- indivduals
- organizations
- agents

What if your keys could talk to each other e2e encrypted over relays 🤔

Agents don't need full key access.
They need scoped access, clear boundaries, and a signer flow that doesn't break under real use.

2026-03-26 20:29:10 UTC

We have frostr signers in basically EVERY app environment!
Now we are working on making them easier / more performant with the upcoming V2 of our protocol.
Updates soon! https://blossom.primal.net/d0d17a2c502905d68d405a93d1c46547d5a5b76b6149e5cda764b42d53215e65.jpg

Igloo Signer is now on iOS App Store!
This first release is intentionally simple and for early adopters:

Really, we just want to get Frost to work great for signing notes over relays so we can start signing Bitcoin transactions over relays ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Better onboarding instructions / guidance coming soon to igloo apps!
We are working to simplify understanding of Frostr within our apps along with doing FAQ and Glossary soon! Lot's of work to do still to make this truly "easy" but it is all possible. https://image.nostr.build/22862554315a7a45133ae32024d775a55f56907d889df58695137ec558375705.png

Yeah will definitely look into this thanks for the reminder!

2026-01-08 23:59:58 UTC

Thinking about two different ways of supporting frostr signer on iOS.
One is to just copy primal and use the audio player for keeping background signer online, but who knows if I could get the app approved - also I would hate to copycat so quick and bandwagon onto this workaround, but hey if it works well??
The other way is doing push notifications; which I think I found a way to do very privately where no events are stored and we will have no idea whose device tokens are being held. However that still requires storing device tokens and also running a server which I really wanna avoid doing.... There are definitely more ways around this. There’s a lot that is technically possible, but with Apple, you have the additional question of will they even allow you to release this?? Such an interesting problem, there is no right answer!

2026-01-07 17:11:59 UTC

Wow really groundbreaking stuff from Primal! This is super inspiring for us as we're trying to figure out best approach for IOS background signing at this moment!
It's possible we might even be able to highjack this functionality to work with Frostr without any code changes?? Will report back 🤔

igloo-cli version 1.0.2 has just been released!

- Improved visuals: animated FROSTR intro + cleaner layout
- Refactored arg parsing with better flag handling
- 100 new tests massively increasing coverage
Use igloo-cli to create a new Frostr keyset OR just run it as a signer: https://github.com/FROSTR-ORG/igloo-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.2 https://video.nostr.build/dc3629175682d76826159fc66c0439573e776a5b6473e30903ecab7d2c41f1fd.mp4

If you store your entire nsec in nsec bunker AND you use frostr than you will be effectively duplicating the private key (one in a hot server with nsecbunker and one in a distributed set of signers with frostr) so kinda self defeating. You can do 3/5 though! Just configure your "peer policy" carefully. Check out the igloo-server demo video here for a good simple setup of frostr WITH nip46 (so you can still use nostr connect): #nevent1q…3wes

2026-01-05 19:34:01 UTC

opus 4.5 is one of the smartest coding models in the world right now but I still struggle to get even the frontier LLM's to be able to grasp a lot of protocol details of Frostr when working with features in the code or docs.
So either we are still (a little) smarter than the AI OR we are just retard maxxing too hard (likely)
#nevent1q…wqm2

2026-01-05 19:31:10 UTC

Yes you could setup a 3/5 with frostr! It would be best to keep the nsec offline and cold after setup. It is worth understanding though that Frostr uses a "trusted dealer" setup of Frost meaning that the nsec WILL be known and contained on one computer in order to setup the 3/5 initially so basically you need at least one "trusted dealer" to setup the quorum

With frostr your keys DM each other to sign notes 💜 https://image.nostr.build/79617e702160aa4d9db2bf5c3f132e3215645267fcebb483430257ec3e81a2a6.png

#nevent1q…guyd

2026-01-02 23:04:16 UTC

Absolutely! But we never wanted to change standards we just need them to be implemented consistently (and actually work lol)
We are working on proposals internally though and also FIRST wanna do everything we can on the side of our apps / libs to make the experience as clean as possible (before proposing spec changes)
#nevent1q…38dv

2026-01-02 22:28:52 UTC

Should clarify - nip07 is quite simple and standardized across the ecosystem! Barely have run into issues with how the spec is implemented on clients BUT it is (mostly) trapped in the extension environment...
#nevent1q…6eap

2026-01-02 22:26:48 UTC

Frostr adds threshold signing to Nostr; no protocol changes! We integrate with NIP-07/46/55 so signed notes look completely normal to clients and relays (no one can tell you are threshold signing)
The reality: every client/signer implements these specs differently...
This fragmentation is our biggest challenge! Frostr hopes to be boring and simple but the ecosystem needs more standardization to realize this dream

2025-12-13 18:28:24 UTC

Here's a diagram I made for NIP-46 signing flow with Frostr...
- nostr client sends nip46 request to relay
- igloo server listens for nip46 request
- approves
- passes to other signer (igloo-cli) for partial sig
- gets response from cli and completes sig
- passes back to relay
- nostr client receives signed note and publishes to relays
All of thise happens within like 2 seconds wtf

2025-12-12 21:56:25 UTC

Yes they are! - #nevent1q…y7sd

2025-12-12 21:11:41 UTC

Key rotation is done manually still - you need the threshold of shares within that keyset (2/3 for example) locally in order to recover the nsec, this does not happen over nostr in some fancy protocol manner (only signing does)
shares are only valid within a keyset meaning that if you have a 2/3 and you lose a share IF you destroy the other 2 shares than the third stolen share is ORPHANED.
So to rotate at this time the steps are:
- Recover nsec with threshold of shares
- Use that nsec to generate a new keyset (can be any threshold)
- DESTROY the shares in the old keyset
TLDR; DESTROY AND OPRHAN https://image.nostr.build/5fda47cbab5db15bb8576fcd8a944dce0a46b2bb612634fe0ed4c193dc830cf8.png

Hello world!
Frostr is a fully open-source protocol + app suite that lets you:
• Split your existing Nostr key into any threshold (2/3, 3/5, etc) 
• Sign notes using simple Frostr apps that coordinate over Nostr 
• Use NIP-07 + NIP-46 in any Nostr client 
• Recover your nsec on any device with your threshold 
• Rotate / expand your setup anytime 
• And do it all without creating a new key 
We’ve got some cool updates shipping soon! Keep an eye out  https://frostr.org https://image.nostr.build/0edc3728f5cd03c3129a7362dc4aa43ac751703a822f4d3c432f4c159caf8446.png
