When you make a transaction on blockchains, your account balance or transferred amount or even your destination wallet is transparent to everyone. You don’t like this ?! Seismic network as an encrypted blockchain is here to help your privacy. Seismic is a Layer 1 blockchain project launched in 2024, focused on privacy through end-to-end encryption. Unlike traditional blockchains where transactions and wallets are public, SeismicSys keeps them private But how does it keep transactions private?! We already had privacy blockchains so whats unique about Seismic? Let me Introduce you TEEs or trusted execution environments. It’s an advanced encryption technique that Seismic uses for encrypting transactions. TEEs use hardware-based mechanisms, like encryption and isolation, to ensure that data and code remain confidential and intact. This isolation means that even the operating system or other software cannot interfere, making TEEs highly resistant to external attacks. It allows developers to create encrypted DeFi protocols with standard Solidity smart contracts, combining Zcash-like privacy with Ethereum-like flexibility. The project raised $7M in seed funding led by a16z crypto and Polychain Capital.
