Generate key shares
The key share generation process is initiated by the admins on the Cobo Portal. The key shares are categorized into one of the three groups: Main Group, Signing Group, and Recovery Group. We will use the Main Group to illustrate the process.-
On the Cobo Portal, admins create a Main Group by navigating to MPC Wallets > [vault-name] > Create Main Group.
-
During the Main Group creation process, the admins select members to become key share holders.
Selected membersā Cobo Guard must already be linked to the adminās organization for them to be eligible for selection as a key share holder.
-
Once the Main Group creation is initiated by the admins, selected members will be notified on their Cobo Guard. Simply tap the 1 key share needs to be generated banner.
-
On the Group Information page, review the key share generation request, and tap Start Key Gen to start generating the key share.
-
The process takes about 30 seconds. When you see the Key Generated Successfully message, tap Back Up Now.
-
You can tap Start to back up the key share now, or tap Skip to complete key generation process.
