Enigma

Enigma’s revolutionary technology protects the privacy of data while still allowing for computations to be run over that data.

Enigma was first described in 2015 in our cofounder Guy Zyskind’s MIT thesis. His two groundbreaking papers on privacy and blockchains are some of the most highly cited in the space, with over 400 combined citations. With Enigma, "smart contracts" become "secret contracts" , where input data is kept hidden from nodes in the Enigma network that execute code. Without adding this ability to protect data, blockchains are very limited in utility. Enigma’s technology is the missing piece to a decentralized future.

The Enigma protocol will power an ecosystem of truly decentralized, world-changing applications.

Protocol layer

The Enigma privacy protocol allows for decentralized computation of sensitive data.

Platform layer

On this protocol, Platform layer
On this protocol, dozens of platforms such as data marketplaces and AI exchanges can be built. 

Application layer

This enables thousands of truly decentralized apps that require private computation and secure data.

Enigma’s privacy protocol unlocks billions of dollars in value for individuals and industry. Here are just a few examples of fields our protocol can completely reshape.
