It’s April, which means that it’s time for the newest Blockchain Commons @BlockchainComns quarterly report. Over this last winter Q1, our focus was on Gordian. [1/11] https://www.blockchaincommons.com/quarterlies/Q1-2021-Report/

Gordian underwent a real transition, as Bitcoin wallet developers adopting our specifications and libraries allowed us to move from consumer-facing apps to creating best practices and principles (and embedding them in our reference software). [2/11] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Gordian

Our newest reference app is Gordian Guardian, a cryptographic seed manager for iOS, which demonstrates how seeds and keys can be stored and transferred across QR-centric Airgaps. [3/11] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/GordianGuardian-iOS

We’re also doing initial architectural work on Gordian Recovery, which will allow users to recover and sweep funds held by a variety of third-party multisig wallets. This is required as successful multisig recovery requires more than just storing words on titanium. [4/11].

Our keytool CLI reference also saw expansions, including new integration with crypto-request & crypto-response, some of the most requested UR features from our Airgapped Wallet Community. [5/11] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Research/blob/master/papers/bcr-2021-001-request.md

The new URs weren’t our only specification upgrades. We also improved Lifehash, which allows users to verify an account with an image, so that it would display better in black & white and when printed. [6/11] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/LifeHash

Ultimately, these specifications and libraries, created in conjunction with our Airgapped Wallet Community, are the heart of our Gordian work, while our applications and utilities serve as reference to developers for effectively implementing them. [7/11]

We also document our best practices, and in Q1 that meant a massive addition to #SmartCustody: an article all about the patterns for how to design sophisticated multisig policies to create safer digital asset custody. [8/11] https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Gordian/blob/master/Docs/Multisig.md

There was also some W3C DID (Decentralized Identifier) efforts, initial support for human rights activists, experimental work with upcoming Schnorr signing in Speedy Trial, and some legislative successes and failures.
