Gordian Developer Community

Mission

Gordian Developer Community is a community of cryptocurrency & identity wallet developers, sharing best practices for paritioned interoperability among multiple vendors on multiple platforms. These best practices include support for hot, cold and multisig cryptographic wallets, research & proposals for data formats and protocols, usage of gaps such as airgaps and torgaps, security and UX for multisig work flows, and other key management and signing issues and topics, particularly those that support the Gordian Principles of independence, privacy, resilience, and openness.

Meetings

Much of our collaborative work is conducted through Meetings. Please sign up for our Gordian Developer lists to be informed of when they occur and please see our meetings page for info from meetings to date.

Technologies

Blockchain Common's Gordian technologies include architectural designs, apps, and specifications. The architectural designs, apps, and the general overview of the system can be found in the Gordian repo while developer-level docs can be found in the Crypto Commons repo. Finally, original research specifications can be found in the Research repo.

The following is a general listing of topics in the three repos, but visiting the individual repos' READMEs can provide more up-to-date information

Discussions

The best place to talk about Blockchain Commons and its projects is in our GitHub Discussions areas.

Gordian Developer Community. For standards and open-source developers who want to talk about interoperable wallet specifications, please use the Discussions area of the Gordian Developer Community repo. This is where you talk about Gordian specifications such as Gordian Envelope, bc-shamir, Sharded Secret Key Reconstruction, and bc-ur as well as the larger Gordian Architecture, its Principles of independence, privacy, resilience, and openness, and its macro-architectural ideas such as functional partition (including airgapping, the original name of this community).

We also have a Signal group and a low-volume announcement mailing list.

Archived Info

The following folders in this repository contain other information:

  • Proof of Concept: 2019 - In 2019 Blockchain Commons did a proof-of-concept of air-gapped signing between two airgapped devices, one written in Swift for iOS, the other using Java on macOS Desktop. Full code and information is available here.

Status - Work in Progress

Gordian Developer Community is by definition a work-in-progress, as it contains active discussions among its members.

We promise not to bring legal action against researchers who point out a problem provided they do their best to follow the these guidelines.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report suspected security vulnerabilities in private via email to [email protected] (do not use this email for support). Please do NOT create publicly viewable issues for suspected security vulnerabilities.

The following keys may be used to communicate sensitive information to developers:
