Hello,
When we want something new in crypto, we immediately rush to launch a chain. Instead of a new chain, Arcium aims to make privacy seamless, scalable, and accessible by building it as a plug-and-play feature for applications. It is creating an encrypted supercomputer that acts as a trustless layer that integrates privacy into any app with ease.
Arcium’s CEO, Yannik, explores with us why current approaches to privacy in crypto might be fundamentally misguided. While projects like Zcash built separate "privacy chains," Yannik argues that the solution isn’t another blockchain—it’s an encrypted layer that enhances everything.
At the heart of our discussion lies Arcium’s reimagining of private computation. Instead of trusting hardware manufacturers or relying solely on complex zero-knowledge proofs, Arcium is building what Yannik calls an "encrypted supercomputer". It is a network that can process any computation while keeping data private and eliminates the need for trust in any single party.
With AI now dominating over 50% of crypto Twitter’s mindshare, Yannik’s vision for trustless, private AI infrastructure feels remarkably timely. Tune in for a timely conversation on how privacy might just be the next frontier in crypto and AI.
Thinking about DeFAI,
