About Mithril

info

Explore the Mithril protocol through our protocol simulation. This interactive experience will provide you with insights into how participants collaborate to generate a multi-signature, and you'll also gain a clearer understanding of the protocol parameters.

Mithril in a nutshell

Mithril is a research project whose goal is to provide Stake-based Threshold Multisignatures on top of the Cardano network.

In a nutshell, Mithril can be summarized as:

A protocol that allows stakeholders in a proof-of-stake blockchain network to individually sign messages that are aggregated into a multi-signature, which guarantees that they represent a minimum share of the total stake.

In other words, an adversarial participant with less than this share of the total stake will not be able to produce valid multi-signatures 🔐.
