## The Entropy chain

The purpose of the Entropy blockchain is to have a 'single source of truth' for the information which needs to be public and which the threshold signature servers need to have consensus on. For example, we need to have agreement of which validators belong to the singing comittee

## The Threshold Signature Server [src](https://github.com/entropyxyz/entropy-core/tree/master/crates/threshold-signature-server) [API](https://docs.rs/entropy-tss)
## The Threshold Signature Server

This is the part that carries out the threshold signing protocol, together with other instances of the threshold signature server. It has an encrypted key-value store used for private information where consensus is not required. Since the threshold signature server deals with private data that must never be exposed publicly on-chain, it is distributed as a separate binary. It also handles the distributed key generation and proactive-refresh protocols.
