Hi @semuelle and @takahser,

Our team is working on this problem and try to solve it before do comments.

Here is the WIP PR:
orochi-network/orochi-network.github.io#45

[takahser]

@chiro-hiro ok thanks for the update. 👍

[chiro-hiro]

Hi @takahser,

Our team had updated the proposal following your suggestion. All curves share something common cryptography primitives that why there are two main constructions Canneti et al 's Construction and FROST's Construction

[takahser]

@chiro-hiro thanks for the update. I took a look and I agree that FROST can be used to construct a MPC with ed25519 or sr25519 parameters, as you describe in your research. Hence, I'm accepting this. 👍

You can find the final, accepted evaluation here.

We noticed that this is the last milestone of your project. Congratulations on completing your grant! 🎊

So, where to from here? First of all, you should join our Grants Community chat, if you haven't already, so we can stay in touch.
If you are looking for continuative support for your project, there are quite a few options. The main goal of the W3F grants program is to support research as well as early-stage technical projects. If your project still falls under one of those categories, you might want to apply for a follow-up grant. However, depending on your goals and project status, there are other support programs in our ecosystem that might be better suited as the next step. For example, projects with a Business Case/Token should look into the Substrate Builders Program or VC Funding and Common Good projects have a good chance of receiving Treasury Funding. If you are looking for guidance, the team at https://substrate.io/ecosystem/square-one/ has compiled a list of ecosystem support sources and are happy to help you navigate it.

For a more comprehensive list, see our Alternative Funding page. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the above. We are more than happy to point you to additional resources and help you determine the best course of action.
Lastly, we hope your W3F grant was a success and we want to thank you for being part of the journey!

[chiro-hiro]

Hi @fededubbi, should i add here or update the invoice?

[chiro-hiro]

Hi @fededubbi, I updated the invoice. The payment address in application is different from the address in the invoice due to this change in the template.
