IntroductionFangorn is programmable secrets infrastructure; the if statement for web3. It enables a trustless, extensible logic layer for encrypted data, where access is granted based on proof, not permission. There is no corporation-in-the-middle imposing policies, no server storing the password, and nobody who can usurp your own agency. This article walks you through our first demo: proof-of-knowledge-protected vaults built with LIT protocol (for secure decentralized key management), Noir (...
