Episode notes
Encrypted Computing Unlocks Private On-Chain Apps
- Arcium enables encrypted computing: running arbitrary computations over collectively encrypted data on blockchains.
- This allows private applications on public chains without trusting centralized data managers.
Privacy With Verifiable Transparency
- Encrypted computing removes the need to trust centralized actors while preserving auditability via cryptography.
- That combination increases transparency without exposing private data to third parties.
ZK Proofs Offer Isolated Privacy
- Zero-knowledge proofs provide encrypted isolated state by proving facts without revealing secrets.
- That offers base-level privacy but doesn't enable computing across many private datasets together.
