Encrypting Ethereum: Ten Network Introduces Private Smart Contracts
The journey from Bitcoin to Ethereum, to Ten. (Midjourney)Two years ago, we embarked on an epic journey to design and build the first Ethereum Layer 2 that goes beyond scalability and introduces EVM smart contracts with private shared state. Today, we're happy to announce that we hit the first significant milestone, the release of our public Testnet that rolls up to the Ethereum-Sepolia Testnet. Smart contracts written for Ethereum will have secrets and free secure randomness for the fir...

Demystifying SGX part 4— Secure hardware
Secure hardware everywhereSecure hardware is all around us, quietly working behind the scenes to protect our digital lives. Your laptop, phone, smartwatch, car, TV, game console, Blu-Ray player, Chromecast, home cinema system, crypto wallet, data centres, certificate providers, blockchain nodes, the WorldCoin Orb, and even your PC monitor are all powered by secure hardware. If you look deep enough, you will find it in every device you use. In this fourth instalment of the “Demystifying SGX” s...

Data Revelation, the Missing Piece to the Adoption of Web3 Privacy
Imagine a world where privileged agencies have access to private data where others do not. Where secret algorithms push curated information. Where financial models can only be run by those with permission. In this blog post I’m going to explain why cryptography and private data alone is not enough for Web3 to go mainstream and why it needs to be coupled with time-based data revelation so honest and dishonest users can be distinguished and data validation can be decentralised (spoiler alert: i...

Is it time to embrace hardware in blockchain?
Is our ideological obsession with decentralization killing Web3’s future? While we endlessly debate the purity of decentralization, the real world waits for no one. It’s time we confront an inconvenient truth: Our ideological rigidity might be the very thing holding back Web3 technologies from mainstream adoption. In this post, I’ll argue that it’s not about ‘how decentralized we can get,’ but rather ‘how decentralized do we actually need to be?’, particularly when it comes to hardware and wh...
