Ecosystem
Taxa and Findora Level Up Web3 Infra with Privacy-Preserving Computation:
We are proud to announce our intention to collaborate with Findora to explore the integration of the two infrastructures, and level up Web 3.0 infrastructure with privacy-preserving computation technologies, including but not limited to Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), and Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC / SMPC).
Findora is an open zero-knowledge blockchain network that enables individuals and enterprises to transact with native privacy-preserving transparency. Findora enables assets of any nature — dollar, bitcoin, equity, debt and derivatives. Its mission is to address the challenges necessary to support this broad class of assets and diverse financial use cases, providing confidentiality while retaining the transparency of other blockchains.
Together with Findora, we are going to explore the integration of the two infrastructures to enable developers to build dApps with Taxa’s TEE-enabled, privacy-preserving, high performance platform, while at the same time benefiting from Findora’s zero knowledge proofs based privacy-preserving transparency, explore new use cases in DeFi, NFT, gaming, etc., and conduct tech discussions and academic research on trusted computing technologies, including but not limited to the trusted execution environment (TEE), zero knowledge proofs (ZKP), and secure multiparty computation (MPC / SMPC).
