🔐 Offline Key Derivation for ICP (ECDSA & Schnorr) Developers can derive canister public keys entirely offline — without calling the management canister. We’ve released a new Rust library, and a TypeScript library many developers haven’t discovered yet — both supporting ECDSA and Schnorr key derivation. 📘 Why this matters ICP’s key derivation is deterministic and public — given the master public key, canister ID, and derivation path, anyone can compute the same canister public key locally. No secrets. No blockchain calls. Just pure math. 💡 What this enables • Verify canister public keys offline • Derive blockchain addresses (e.g. Ethereum, Bitcoin) for canisters • Build explorers or dashboards showing cross-chain balances • Simplify development & testing without connecting to ICP • Enhance privacy and reduce network dependencies 🧠 Learn how it works Read more in the docs: 🔗 t-ECDSA: https://t.co/Hg9eIvnDgj 🔗 t-Schnorr: https://t.co/zGReGLrPM7 📦 Get started • Rust (brand new): https://t.co/m1FlvZV8Ec • TypeScript: https://t.co/3bLw8JIt6h
