We’re excited to announce the integration of Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer with Polygon PoS, an EVM-compatible scaling solution for Ethereum with high throughput and low costs!

Learn more 👇

https://scrt.network/blog/decc-for-polygon

Through this integration, Secret will provide Polygon PoS with decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) tooling, documentation, and support. This will unlock powerful new capabilities for Polygon dApps!

Some examples of what this can enable on Polygon PoS are private voting for DAOs, encrypted storage for dApps, secure random number generation for games, confidential data for NFTs, sealed-bid auctions, and encrypted limit orders 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 Polygon PoS, to communicate with Secret’s TEEs, by way of cross-chain message passing between smart contracts.

By integrating Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer with Polygon PoS, we’re unlocking new possibilities for Web3's most adopted scaling technology!
