had a great time presenting how @encifherio works at OnlyDevs conference added below the session recording explaining it big thanks to @shek_dev and the whole @SuperteamIN for organizing timestamps: (00:47) what we're building ? (01:22) what does cryptographic coprocessor enables (02:16) normal transactions graph (02:25) encrypt transactions graph (02:38) verifiable compute (03:37) architecture modularity (04:28) native encrypted programs (05:19) goals with encifher (06:22) where we're right now (06:48) use encrypt[.]trade

ZEC is encrypted Bitcoin -- a great SoV But have seen many people don't want privacy at the cost of volatility They want privacy with stability Same as people hold gold, but their money in the bank is stable

1/n Privacy is crucial. tried tapping into privacy first neobanking solutions built on stablecoin rails as part of potential lucidly syAssets integrations, ultimately found too much info on ct I see an active ongoing debate on all privacy coins and decided to keep an all tools directory on how each of these work and identifying the architecture differences in how they operate. will keep adding more eventually @monero -> total anonymity - Every transaction is private by default: sender, receiver, and amount are hidden with no toggle or weak settings. - Appeals to users who distrust governments, exchanges, and analytics firms. - Closest crypto equivalent to cash. - Has slower transactions and higher fees, often treated as contraband by regulators and exchanges. - Remains the leading coin for uncompromising privacy in 2025. @Zcash -> flexible privacy - Uses zk SNARKs allowing users to choose transparent or shielded (private) transactions. - Balances privacy needs with regulatory compliance, suitable for taxes, corporate use, and legal transparency. - Privacy adoption surged as wallets made shielded transactions default. - Growing in popularity among privacy conscious professionals and investors. @zama -> encrypted on-chain computation - Uses fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) allowing computation on encrypted data without decryption. - Keeps logic onchain and data sealed, avoiding offchain computation risks. - Enables private market making, undercollateralized loans without exposing scores, and tiny ML inference onchain. @redacted_money -> privacy compliance reconciliation - Designed for DeFi users who want privacy plus compliance. - Enables private transactions and generates "Proof of Innocence" to prove no interaction with blacklisted wallets. - Bridges privacy and regulatory demands, avoiding extremes of privacy or corporate automation. - Small but innovative community advancing privacy compliance balance. tee.fyi/ -> TEEs secure computation and confidential data feeds - Provide authenticated data feeds (oracles, TLS streams) ensuring integrity and authenticity for smart contracts. - Preserve privacy and confidentiality of order flow in financial transactions, reducing front running risks. - Enable confidential machine learning by training on sensitive data inside secure enclaves. @aztecnetwork -> programmable privacy on Ethereum - Privacy first L2 on Ethereum combining public and private logic for applications. - Dual execution model: private actions run locally in a Private Execution Environment (PXE), public functions run on Aztec Virtual Machine (AVM). - Private state uses encrypted notes tracked by nullifiers, public state follows Ethereum’s model. - Each account is a smart contract enabling custom authorization and multiple privacy keys. - Developers use @Noirlang, a zk language, to build private and public contracts. - Supports encrypted execution and private by default DeFi, identity, and onchain apps. @encifherio -> private verifiable shared state on solana - brings together a stack of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies - (TEE, ZKPSs, HE, MPC) that complement each other. - users can selectively disclose only those state information which they're comfortable to disclose. - users get a chance to send to different accounts without linkage - user state data is encrypted, still users would be able to perform verifiable mutation on top of each other state.

privacy comes from value at rest to me it's an understatement privacy comes from value being within protocol if your protocol can compose these encrypted values great now you can move your value while still contributing to the overall anonymity set that's what we're doing @encifherio

If Harry Potter had used @solana, this is exactly how he’d hide his on-chain moves. Opt-in privacy explained simply! 👇

every time you swap on solana or any other chain... there's probably someone watching. not in a creepy way, just blockchain stuff. @encifherio lets you go stealth mode with private swaps, private payments, and even a $SOL to $ZEC bridge. all private and very fast too
Nitanshu (priv/acc) retweeted
Wow ZEC touched $700! its more than 200% up since we have launched the bridge sharing it here for people who still don't know an easy way to buy ZEC privately on Solana!
Buy $ZEC privately using your SOL/USDC Inspired by @0xMert_, we've built a bridging solution to send funds from @solana to @Zcash PRIVATELY with @near_intents Zolana Try it 👇 (link & steps in tweet below)

if you’ve encrypted your wealth @encifherio and bought some ZEC privately thank you for contributing here’s your reward zolana

been talking about privacy for a while now, and it’s great to see more people finally showing real interest in the zcash ecosystem with zec currently sitting around $630, it’s clear there’s strong demand - investors and traders are actively migrating there right now whether you’re an institution or an individual on solana, i still believe the best way to get into zcash privately is through @encifherio buy your zec and send it directly to zcash in just two simple steps - no need to do anything complex fr

We’re sponsoring a @SuperteamEarn creator bounty! 🎥✨ Make a 60–180s video introducing encrypt(dot)trade and why privacy on @solana matters. Show off: • Private payments (SOL/USDC/USDT/ZEC) • Private swaps via @JupiterExchange • SOL → ZEC bridge via @near_intents $1,000 in prizes. Link 👇

Thanks for writing this up! most practical take on security of TEEs i've seen in long time
The @TeeDotFail research broke the confidentiality & integrity guarantees of TEEs & that’s huge. But the way it’s being presented feels more like a hit-piece than an honest discussion. Let’s unpack this attack & I'll tell you why it makes me more bullish on TEEs, not less 👇🧵

Wow! We caught attention under our nose Our article on bringing private ZEC to Solana caught wider attention last week Thanks to @CoinDesk for featuring us and @kucoincom for highlighting our work Excited to keep building to bring privacy on @solana

🚨 TEEs are AGAIN compromised! 🚨 This time it's even bigger! TL;DR - 3 weeks ago: Intel SGX exploit (DDR4) - Today: Exploit affecting the latest State-Of-The-Art TEEs by Intel, AMD and Nvidia (DDR5) TEEs don't bring privacy or security in crypto. All you need to know 👇🧵

GM zcash is pumping right now and you too can own some zec privately with @encifherio heres how I did it deposit → shield send your zec into encifher’s deposit flow. the protocol wraps/shields your zec into an encrypted on-chain representation (ezec) swap inside the encrypted layer use encifher’s encrypted amm/rail to trade ezec for other encrypted assets on-chain. hold while encrypted keep the encrypted token in your wallet (on the chain) unwrap → shielded zec out when you exit, use encifher’s unwrap/withdraw to convert ezec back to zec and send it to a shielded zcash address voila !
