We’re excited to announce the integration of Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer with Gnosis Chain, a highly secure, resilient, and decentralized EVM-compatible layer 1 network. Learn more 👇 https://scrt.network/blog/decc-for-gnosis Through this integration, Secret will provide Gnosis Chain with decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) tooling, documentation, and support. This will unlock powerful new capabilities for applications in the Gnosis ecosystem. Incorporating DeCC enables features such as private voting for DAOs, encrypted storage for various applications, secure random number generation for games, confidential data linked to NFTs, sealed-bid auctions for NFTs and other assets, and encrypted order books for DeFi applications. How does this work? Secret's confidential computing is powered by Trusted Execution Environments, or TEEs. A TEE is a secure area of a computer processor that enables encrypted data to be computed without being revealed to the public, or even to the TEE operator. Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer essentially enables other blockchains, like Gnosis Chain, to communicate with Secret’s TEEs, by way of cross-chain message passing between smart contracts. By integrating Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer with Gnosis Chain, we’re unlocking new possibilities for one of Web3's longest running Ethereum sidechains.
