Merces is live. 🌐 Swift message in, smart contract instructions out, private execution on the chosen chain, confirmation back through the same existing interface. CatalyX Orchestration Manager does the sequencing. 👉 Read the full announcement: core.taceo.io/articles/merce…

TACEO Merces is live on mainnet. Real funds, on Monad and World Chain. Public chains give institutions settlement, interoperability and composability. They also make counterparties and amounts visible to anyone with a block explorer, and the usual response has been to work in a walled-off environment, or to stay off the public rail altogether. Merces makes privacy a property of the rail itself. Balances and counterparties stay hidden onchain, and no node in the TACEO network can read a balance, because no node ever holds one in readable form. The state stays shared even while it stays private, which is what makes this more than private payments. A stablecoin transfer may only needs the transaction hidden. A tokenised fund, security or other tokenised assets (RWAs) needs a private register that still enforces eligibility, concentration limits and pro-rata distributions. Rules have to look across every holder at once without revealing what any one of them owns. Financial logic still runs, and every operation produces a proof, verified onchain, that it executed correctly. Correctness is proved rather than trusted, so it doesn't rest on the integrity of any individual node. Compliance works the same way. Screening happens before a transaction executes, and afterwards the institution decides what gets opened to an auditor or a regulator. Specific records, not the whole book. None of it requires migrating migrating your stack. Merces works with the chains, token standards and keys already in use, and the same integration works across chains. No new chain, no new asset, no new wallet. Payments settle on mainnet today. Yield, agentic payments, and issuer controls run on testnets, moving to mainnet through the rest of the year. @monad and @world_chain_ are the launch networks. @LayerZero_Core is building private cross-chain transfers with us. @IntellectEU is integrating Merces into CatalyX for its bank clients. @OrionFinanceAI is working with us on private vaults. @ZenithNetwork is working with us on shared-state privacy inside Canton.

@TACEO_IO's Merces is live on mainnet, and @IntellectEU is integrating it into @catalyx_suite! CatalyX's orchestration layer will sequence payments across Swift, Canton, and other public chains while Merces keeps it confidential. Full announcement: core.taceo.io/articles/merce…

it's never been a better time to build privacy infrastructure onchain. Happy to be a partner of TACEO! World class privacy team, pun intended.

The work that @catalyx_suite has done to connect banks to blockchains is impressive. We’re excited to add a privacy layer to their orchestration to keep payments private as they flow from banks, to Swift, to Canton, and beyond.
Privacy has to hold when one payment crosses Swift messaging, Canton, and a public chain in the same flow. That's what we at @IntellectEU are working on with @TACEO_io. CatalyX Orchestration Manager handles the sequencing, Merces keeps the payment private, and the bank's existing stack stays where it is. 💻 Join us for a demo with TACEO at Sibos next Wednesday. 📍Booth H035

The future is multi-chain and private.
LayerZero is building an integration with @TACEO_io for cross-chain Merces transfers to support private balances that move between networks with the participants and the size of the transfer shielded in transit.

Private cross-chain transfers are coming to LayerZero... @LayerZero_Core is building an integration with @TACEO_IO so private balances can move between networks, with both the participants and the transfer size shielded in transit. It plugs into TACEO's Merces privacy layer, which went live on mainnet today. Funds are already running on @monad and @world_chain_.

Congrats to @TACEO_IO on taking Merces to mainnet. Private balances on public rails, now with real funds, computed across the TACEO Network, where Nethermind is one of the MPC node operators.

We couldn't go to mainnet without bringing our compliance engine with us. @0xPredicate is a core part of it. Great to have them with us.
Congratulations to our partner @TACEO_IO on the launch of Merces, live on mainnet today. Privacy and compliance are two major painpoints for institutions launching digital assets onchain. Merces is a privacy layer for onchain finance, enabling balances to stay fully private. Merces integrates Predicate's platform, meaning all transactions are screened before they are executed.

Asset management is one of the clearest cases for private shared state. A vault has to enforce rules across every position without publishing any of them. Working with @OrionFinanceAI on what that looks like.
Orion Finance is collaborating with @TACEO_IO to integrate Merces into our multi-vault infrastructure for tokenised investment products, ensuring position sizes and counterparties remain trustlessly private while performance stays cryptographically verifiable to investors.

Bringing the EVM to Canton is no small feat, and @ZenithFdn have done it. Keeping the benefits of public chains inside an institutional environment is how finance actually moves onchain. The open question is composability across shared state, privately. That is what Merces brings.
Shared state is the piece that makes private finance work at institutional scale. Several parties transacting against the same position, none of them seeing the whole of it, while compliance screening runs before execution and specific records can be disclosed afterwards at the institution's choosing. @TACEO_IO's Merces is live on mainnet today, and Zenith is part of the integration, bringing private shared state to Canton's EVM environment for developers building on Zenith. Full announcement: core.taceo.io/articles/merce… Zth.

Private Shared State lets rules execute across all holders while keeping individual holdings hidden. Having followed @TACEO_IO from the idea to implementation, we're glad to see it ship!

We believe privacy shouldn't stop at a chain boundary. Finance does not live on one chain, and neither should the privacy layer underneath it. We're working with @LayerZero_Core so balances and participants stay private wherever they move.
LayerZero is building an integration with @TACEO_io for cross-chain Merces transfers to support private balances that move between networks with the participants and the size of the transfer shielded in transit.

Merces is live on mainnet. After scaling privacy infra for digital identity, we kept going and built Merces: a new kind of privacy layer for blockchains based on verifiable encrypted compute - balances and counterparties are hidden - onchain verifiable - composable with Defi

TACEO Merces is live. From tokenized securities to stablecoin payments and DeFi primitives, Merces adds privacy to onchain finance. The same infrastructure that already secures the data of millions of users is now ready for financial institutions.
