@Fiono11 Wow, that is intense! I think it is a good candidate to actually be a separate NEAR CLI extension like https://github.com/near-cli-rs/near-validator-cli-rs
It is fine to keep it in the PR if you like it, but I want to be clear upfront that we will need to answer the question of why would it be a good addition to all the near-cli-rs users. So far it seems that NEAT CLI extension is the better direction to explore; note that near XXX
commands, where XXX is an unknown command, are translated into near-XXX ...
calls similar to how cargo
does it (we have cargo-near, bos-cli-rs that use this same "framework" we have in near-cli-rs, so you may take inspiration from there).

Thanks! That's what I wanted to know: what is the right direction to go. And it makes sense that an extension is the right approach, since the protocol is done off chain. Will have a look at it.
What
This is a proof of concept implementation of the Olaf protocol made with this grant. Olaf is composed of the SimplPedPoP protocol to generate a threshold account, and the FROST protocol to sign from a threshold account.
Why
It is much more efficient than the current multisignature protocol used by Near, since the signing is done off chain instead of on chain. The advantages of this are:
Limitations
Right now communication between parties needs to be done out-of-band, since networking is not implemented yet. In this draft PR there is a tutorial with an example of a 2-of-2 payment that can be found in
docs
.Future Work
Let me know if there is interest in continuing this project. Next steps would be:
