Reminder: the Gentry testnet is LIVE
If you are a builder and have ever had ideas that don't work in a paradigm where all data is public, now is the time to start building. Apply below.
The confidential layer of web3 is here.
Reminder: The Gentry Testnet is LIVE!
The first-ever public blockchain with confidential state is up and running. This is your chance to build completely new primitives in the blockchain space.
Builders apply today:
You have probably heard about FHE.
We wouldn't blame you for thinking it's just a new, empty narrative.
But it isn't. We promise. It will change Web3, enabling mass adoption.

Here's something fun to try out for the weekend!👾
We curated a few experiences that involve confidentiality, and put together an arcade of pages that you can try out today. They range from mini-games, and DeFi to toolings. Here's the link:

Adding "incognito mode" to blockchains has to happen if we want to see mainstream adoption.
Web3's data situation is worse than Web2's. Web3 should enable users to truly own their own data.
This is one of the many reasons we are building Inco.
Big tech companies selling users' data has been a constant concern since the beginning of the internet in the late 90s.
As mainstream adoption of Web3 continues, things are looking worse than Web2 with every single data point being completely public.

Community Call with Inco team
What will:
- Discuss FHE
- Listen to you, Inco community members
- Give you updates and share all the exciting stuff from last week
- Hang out with each other and you
Register below 👇
Adoption first, security later: a common thread across industries.
The next step is building a universal confidential layer so that any project on any chain can build applications that do not leak 100% of users data.
At Inco, we are committed to building that.
I'm convinced of two things:
1) Crypto's original sin was not incorporating privacy into its foundation.
2) They'd never have let us get this far if we did.
What if there was a way to program confidentiality right into onchain states such that data is encrypted even during processing?
Mainstream web3 adoption will not come until we solve this problem.
Google is going to fall in love with crypto.
Why?
They already know everything you do online.
With crypto they know everything you own.
All open, queryable, just like web1.
Imagine the ads they will create based on your net worth.
P.S. we need onchain privacy
Onchain identity and verification with FHE is becoming a reality:
Please fork this and play around with it🧑💻
You can also try it out here:
The future of blockchain is coming, we hope you will come and build it with us.
Imagine credit scores, bank accounts, house loans, and secure digital identities, all onchain. It's possible and becoming a reality with FHE.
FHE enables encrypted comparisons. Functionally, this means you can keep data public but permission operation of it at the same time.
At Inco we like to think about it like this:
Web2 has confidentiality. Web3 does not. We are enabling the real Web3 where a developer gets to choose whether their application is public or confidential.
The real Web3 should be just like Web2 + permissionless and decentralized.
One of the most exciting things about FHE coming to the blockchain is the use cases it enables. Before FHE, the onchain space was limited to use cases that only worked with completely public data.
Congratulations to
@julieshi_eth

Poker requires the encryption of cards and the capability to perform computations on them, which can be achieved through the use of FHE provided by Inco.

Our team had a poster presenting the unique benefits of FHE in blockchain during the
@fhe_org
conference in Toronto 🇨🇦 and enjoyed learning about the recent developments and research areas in the space. Here are some highlights from our poster:
Private blockchains make no sense because we lose what we all agree are the benefits of blockchains (decentralized and permissionless).
Public blockchains have a data leakage issue (worse than Web2).
Public blockchains with composable, confidential state are the future of Web3.
Private blockchains defeat the purpose of blockchains (that they are decentralized and permissionless).
The reason for private blockchains is telling: enterprises do not want their data public.
Composable, confidential state is the answer.

After two weeks in the Rockies, the Inco team wants to share our experience during ETH Denver 2024 with all of you. From our Hackathon to the new connections we forged, ETH Denver was the first step in bringing compliant confidential computing on-chain.
Inco’s confidentiality and randomness as a service can supercharge existing applications on other Layer 1 and Layer 2s. We are really excited to enable new game mechanics in the onchain gaming space!
