Confidential coordination brings different parties into a shared computation.
Overview
Interfold enables programs to compute over encrypted inputs.
The underlying data stays private, and no single party controls decryption.
This requires three core roles:
Requesters
Initiating E3s
Requesters define and initiate confidential computations. Applications, protocols, or other systems can act as requesters.
Participants
Contributing private inputs
Participants contribute the private information an E3 computes over, encrypted before submission. They can be people, applications, organizations, or other systems.
Ciphernodes
DKG + threshold decryption
Ciphernodes form computation-specific committees that collectively generate encryption keys and decrypt permitted outputs once the required threshold is reached.
Participate
Help form the network
Operate infrastructure, build applications, or bring a real-world use case.
FOLD
FOLD in the network
FOLD connects token holders to network participation and governance.
FOLD gives holders access to the network's operator and governance pathways.
Ciphernodes do more than validate activity: they participate in computation-specific committees, distributed key generation, threshold decryption, and other network duties.
Locked FOLD gives holders voting power to create proposals, vote on consequential network decisions, and participate in confidential, receipt-free governance.
Now live
More operators join, more applications and E3s go live, and governance comes online from here.
