What is agent custody?

Agent custody means wallets for AI agents with ironclad security—no single failures, on-chain rules, proofs, memory, kill switches.

How do you implement threshold signing for agents?

Use FROST or 2PC-MPC: split keys into shares (e.g., 2-of-3), agent holds one, others offline. Check @frontiercompute/zcash-ika on npm.

Servers get hacked or bypassed; chains enforce immutably—no overrides.

🔒 Security & Privacy
