Secret Network
The data privacy platform for Web3.
Overview
Secret Network is a blockchain protocol with data privacy for smart contracts by default, allowing you to build and use applications that are both permissionless and privacy-preserving. This functionality protects users, secures applications, and unlocks hundreds of never-before-possible use cases for Web3. Secret Network's smart contracts, called 'Secret Contracts', allow dApps to use private data on the blockchain without exposing the data itself.
✨ Key Features
- Privacy-preserving smart contracts (Secret Contracts)
- Encrypted inputs, outputs, and state
- Based on Cosmos SDK
- Interoperable with other Cosmos chains (via IBC)
- On-chain governance
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Privacy by default for smart contracts
- Use of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for confidential computation
- Built on the Cosmos SDK, enabling interoperability
Unique Value: Secret Network provides a platform for building decentralized applications that can use sensitive data without compromising user privacy.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Sienna Network (a privacy-first DeFi protocol)
- Stashh (a private NFT marketplace)
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Applications where full data transparency is a requirement
🏆 Alternatives
Secret Network's key advantage is its privacy-by-default smart contracts, which is a fundamental feature of the protocol. This contrasts with other blockchains where privacy is an optional, and often complex, add-on.
