Jonas Nick and I have been working on a BIP draft for Distributed Key
Generation for FROST Threshold Signatures, which we would like to
propose to the community for discussion. The draft contains a
description of the design considerations, detailed usage instructions,
and a reference implementation in Python, which we intend to be the
definitive specification. The document and the code currently live at:

https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/bip-frost-dkg

We're looking forward to feedback from the community.

Things still to do include:
 * Specifying the wire format
 * Test vectors
 * Possibly any extensions currently mentioned as TODO in the draft
   (e.g., identifiable aborts)
 * Extracting the included secp256k1proto as a proper Python package=C2=A0

Of course, a BIP for FROST *signing* will also be required to make use
of FROST, and we know that one is in the works.

Best,
Jonas and Tim
