Data is even more valuable than gold.
+ Nerds studying data computing.
+ Business minds see opportunities in it.
Meet this @solana supercomputer: compute everything while keeping it fully encrypted.
The community round is running. A thread: 🧵⬇️
Competitors landscape of using the above tech:
+ Zama (FHE): Slow -> impractical for real-time applications
+ Secret Network (TEE): Hardware reliance -> exposure to risks
+ Inpher (MPC): highly powerful but not fully decentralized -> no match for dApps
That's why Arcium acquired Inpher.
Got some exciting news to share!
Arcium has acquired the tech and team from our largest Web2 competitor!
@ArciumHQ and @solana just accellerated by 100x, the global supercomputer is evolving at an insane speed!
Inpher has been leading in the confidential AI space for many years, raising over $25M from J.P. Morgan and others. The Inpher team developed the most advanced protocols for confidential AI and federated learning over the span of eight years, publishing some of the most foundational research in the MPC space for efficient ML, real number arithmetic, confidential tensor operations and oblivious algorithms.
Inpher has achieved prestigious projects in the defense, finance and healthcare sectors and is now part of Arcium.
Our new Arcium team members are amazing engineers and researchers, who have spent many years solving some of the most complex problems in secure Multi-Party computation and confidential computing, performing foundational research at Harvard, Berkeley, EPFL, and other prestigious institutions.
I'm truly proud that we have onboarded this tremendous team – the smartest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with – into our big Arcium vision of building the hyper-encrypted internet with our global supercomputer.
I am especially excited about not just integrating the most efficient confididential AI technology into Arcium but also fully open sourcing all of the acquired patents.
The internet will never be the same!
Overall, Arcium computes data in the most advanced way.
This may give Solana a rebirth of privacy.
Major reasons to use Arcium:
+ Parallel MPC
+ Best fit for Web3 use
+ Being the fastest computing
+ Top secured
And most importantly, a wide range of use cases to fit in.
Let's take an example - Arcium and AI Agents.
We all know current AI agents rely on APIs from multiple sources to perform (like GPT or DeepSeek).
Hidden problem: Who controls AI computation?
➜ when Arcium contributes to a fully private AI agent, with:
+ Data stays encrypted
+ User-owned computation
+ Uncensorable & enforceable agent
▸ Tokenomics
Total supply: 1b
The Arcium token use cases are demonstrated below:
+ Staking to run Arx nodes and earn rewards from the platform
+ Burning to reduce inflation
+ Paying for Arcium services
Allocation for the community is set at 20% (with a Community Public Round of 2%).
▸ Current stage:
Arcium: Cohort 2 is live and open for builders.
It may not fit the overall users, but we should notice some hints: "Privacy is now composable across DeFi, AI, DePIN, DeSci, Gaming & more."
This should be the main theme of the upcoming Public Testnet.
