Threshold Signature

A cryptographic scheme where multiple parties each hold a piece of a private key, and a minimum number of them must cooperate to produce a valid signature.

Definition

A cryptographic scheme where multiple parties each hold a piece of a private key, and a minimum number of them must cooperate to produce a valid signature. Unlike multisig, the final signature looks like a regular single signature on-chain. It's more gas-efficient and private than traditional multisig setups.
