MAGIC Grants contracted Trail of Bits to audit the Ethereum smart contract that is expected to be used by Serai. Serai is a forthcoming decentralized exchange that will initially be compatible with the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Monero blockchains. More info: magicgrants.org/2025/06/06/Ser…

Please contribute to the Monero Fund's campaign to substantially increase the fuzzing coverage for Monero's RPC endpoints. This project will improve the security and resiliency of the Monero network. Your donation may qualify for a tax deduction. donate.magicgrants.org/monero/project…

The most private way to use Monero is to run your own node. Our latest tutorial covers the easiest way to do so on TrueNAS, using MAGIC Grants's pre-made applications: privacyguides.org/articles/2025/…

Monero FCMP++ Gadgets and Circuit Reviewed by Veridise Veridise found one Warning severity issue and one Information severity issue. Both of these have been addressed. magicgrants.org/2025/08/05/Ver…

Today, I'm proud to announce my work on a two-round protocol for threshold ECDSA! It's the first of its kind (as prior works were restricted to the two-party case) and achieves complexity (round and communication) comparable to FROST! It's also fully implemented in Rust.

Cat's out of the bag. We recently completed an engagement with the great folks Serai DEX. They've built a really cool 1-round robust, threshold DKG construction by taking advantage of eVRFs and some clever tricks. Read the report to learn more about it.
