Bitfrost proposes to leverage MPC through dynamic TSS to Preserve Aztec’s Privacy Guarantees for Universal Asset Interoperability
Bitfrost is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain implementing a novel leaderless, dynamic Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) for secure cross-chain asset transfers. Built using a modified Cosmos SDK with Proof-of-Authority consensus, Bitfrost establishes trust-minimised bridges between heterogeneous blockchain architectures, particularly focusing on unlocking UTXO-based assets for broader ecosystem utility.
This proposal introduces a confidential bridge between Aztec’s zero-knowledge environment and Arbitrum through Bitfrost’s existing cross-chain infrastructure. The integration maintains Aztecs privacy guarantees through a combination of private and public functions, partial notes, and selectively encrypted information that is only decrypted by the Bitfrost validators on the int3face chain.

Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your proposals. A lot of them were very high quality and this was the largest number of responses we have ever gotten for an RFP - love to see the interest and passion!
We have decided that the winners of the grants are:
Since a lot of the other teams were high quality, we’d love for you to also contribute to Aztec’s growing ecosystem in several different ways (such as the tangential projects I mentioned in the original post or apps or our ecosystem programmes like Noir Hack.
Someone from our team (likely Rafi - our Apps PM) will reach out to you all on Signal to sync and better understand how else you can contribute to the ecosystem! Please ensure your signal (or at least telegram usernames are there)
Because Aztec is completely permissionless, I will reiterate that you don’t need to wait for such formal requests to build something. If there is something that excites you please go ahead, and if you ever have questions you can find us on Discord!
