TestEmbeddedDispatcher_BLSRoundTrip and _AuthGate drove "bls". thresholdd
stopped serving that scheme — trusted-dealer threshold-BLS custody was ripped
for security (H-2), and luxfi/threshold v1.12.5's dispatcher exposes exactly
cggmp21, frost, pulsar, corona, magnetar and doerner (pkg/thresholdd/zap_schema.go;
there is no bls.go). So both tests had been failing on every run:
bls.keygen: zapclient: unknown procedure "bls.keygen"
wrong-id: error zapclient: unknown procedure "bls.keygen" does not name unauthorized
The second line is the damaging one. _AuthGate asserts a wrong NodeID is refused
with "unauthorized"; it was instead getting "unknown procedure" back from a
scheme lookup that failed before auth was ever consulted. The auth gate has not
actually been exercised for as long as the scheme has been gone.
FROST is a live production scheme on the same ZAP wire and keygens as fast, so
the calls move to it and every assertion is kept verbatim — pubkey non-empty,
3 shares, non-empty signature, verify true, forgery rejected, wrong NodeID
refused with "unauthorized". Nothing is skipped, softened or dropped; the
round-trip now lands on a surface that exists. _UnknownScheme still drives
"bogus" and still proves the unknown-procedure contract.
Renamed to TestEmbeddedDispatcher_FROSTRoundTrip so the name states what it runs.
go test ./... is green across the module.

mpcd — MPC Daemon
mpcd is a threshold-signature daemon. It speaks ZAP wire protocol over
TLS 1.3 directly between peers — no NATS, no Consul, no PostgreSQL in the
critical path. The daemon is the same binary in every deployment shape;
the operating mode is selected entirely by flags.
Operating modes
There is exactly one start command (mpcd start) and the topology is
determined by the --peer and --threshold flags:
| Topology | Flags | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone (1-of-1 self-loop) | --threshold 1 (no --peer) |
Smoke tests, dev sandbox |
| Networked t-of-n cluster | --threshold t --peer ... (n−1 peers) |
Production |
In all cases mpcd runs the consensus-embedded transport
(pkg/transport). The "consensus" here is local PoA membership over the
node's own Ed25519 identities — it is intentionally not the Lux mainnet
chain, because key shares must never leave the cluster.
Standalone (1-of-1)
mpcd start \
--node-id solo \
--listen :9999 \
--api :9800 \
--data /var/lib/mpcd \
--threshold 1
Starts mpcd with itself as the only quorum member. /healthz will report
signing_quorum: true immediately. Keygen and signing of fresh wallets
require ≥2 parties — CGGMP21 and FROST cannot produce shares with a
single party — so this mode exists only for boot-up smoke tests, e2e
harness fixtures, and verifying TLS / membership / API plumbing. For real
signing, run a multi-node cluster.
Networked (t-of-n)
# Node 0
mpcd start --node-id node0 --listen :9999 --api :9800 \
--data /data/node0 --threshold 2 \
--peer [email protected]:9999 --peer [email protected]:9999
# Node 1
mpcd start --node-id node1 --listen :9999 --api :9800 \
--data /data/node1 --threshold 2 \
--peer [email protected]:9999 --peer [email protected]:9999
# Node 2 — same pattern
The daemon expects the cluster size n = len(peers) + 1 and rejects start
when threshold > n. See pkg/transport/registry.go::HasSigningQuorum for
the quorum arithmetic.
Smoke test
go test -tags=integration ./cmd/mpcd/... -count=1 -timeout 90s
standalone_test.go builds mpcd, runs it with --threshold 1 on free
ports and a fresh data directory, polls /healthz until quorum holds,
and asserts the response shape. It does not exercise keygen — see e2e/
for that.
