On a public blockchain, the transparency that's supposed to protect you works against you. Arcium adds encrypted shared state to every application that needs it.
Encrypted execution unlocks the applications public chains could never support. Here is what becomes possible.
Every order you place is visible before it executes. Every position you hold is visible to the world. On a public blockchain, the transparency that's supposed to protect you is the thing working against you.
Your trade logic executes in a fully confidential state. The transaction is submitted, settled, and finalized without exposing any information about the trade. No one sees your intent. No one reads your position. The chain validates the result without ever seeing the inputs.
Trade, swap, lend, and borrow without exposing your transactions. Build dark pools, encrypted perps, and new prediction markets with encrypted execution, so on-chain trading can finally meet mainstream standards.
Every time you send a payment on-chain, the recipient can see your entire wallet. Your balance, your history, every transaction you've ever made. Privacy coins help for a single asset, but they don't extend to general computation or cross-ecosystem activity.
Payments execute with confidential amounts and confidential balances. The transaction settles on-chain and stays verifiable, but wallet balances stay encrypted and transaction amounts stay confidential.
Build payment applications where users have financial confidentiality by default. Send and receive value without revealing balances or history. Implement confidentiality for any token, program, or app on Solana with C-SPL.
Poker doesn't work if everyone can see everyone's cards. Neither does any game where secrets matter. On a public blockchain, all state is readable, so any player can scan the chain and act on what should be hidden. The only workaround today is moving game logic off-chain, which defeats the point.
Game logic runs encrypted on-chain. Players can't see each other's hands, read hidden state, or predict outcomes by scanning the blockchain. Information reveals only when your game logic says it should, on card flip, on turn completion, on match end.
Poker with hands that stay hidden until showdown. Strategy games where fog of war actually works on-chain. Any application where information asymmetry matters. If your game needs secrets, you can build it now.
Three generations of on-chain state. Arcium delivers the third, the one the entire industry has been missing.
The original blockchain model. All participants write to and read from one unified ledger, powerful for coordination, but nothing is private.
Zero-knowledge proofs brought individual encryption, each user can keep their own data secret. A major step, but state stays siloed per user.
Multiple parties compute over the same encrypted data simultaneously, without any party ever seeing the underlying values.
Confidential compute, running in production across the Solana ecosystem.
“Arcium enables a new wave of 0-to-1 applications. Sealed-bid auctions, the gold standard in TradFi, were never possible on-chain. With Arcium, we calculate a uniform clearing price on fully encrypted bids, with an interface as simple as writing an Anchor program. ”
