Liquid is a federated BTC sidechain. The federation which controls the network are known as 'Functionaries'. Currently, there are 15 such Functionaries[^1] who are geographically dispered to help isolate the network from both physical and regulatory disruption. Liquid is a federated BTC sidechain.

unctionaries are who do the block signing for the network, which happens in a round-robin style arrangement - consensus requires 11-of-15 to be available and in agreement.

A unique aspect of this federation is that functioinary membership is dynamic - using a protocol known as *DynaFed* - this allows members to be rotated out/in depending on circumstance. In order to support a large number of signers, the functionaries use a signature style known as [ROAST](https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/550.pdf) (Robust Asynchronous Schnorr Threshold Signatures).
