We've been in talks with @offchain, the people behind @arbitrum and one of the most cracked teams in the crypto space, on how to solve for encryption in Ethereum. Today we are thrilled to announce an investment by and partnership with Tandem by @offchain to bring FHE to everyone, everywhere. FHE was once considered complex and slow, but recent advancements like faster schemes, GPU optimizations, and ultra fast decryption networks are making FHE a reality today. Why @fhenix and @offchain? The @offchain team has shown time and time again they have the deep knowledge needed to advance Ethereum and cryptography, coupled with the ability to ship. @EdFelten, @hkalodner, and @sgoldfed designed the interactive fraud proofs for optimistic rollups that are currently scaling Ethereum and literally wrote the book on blockchain engineering. Victor Shoup is a cryptography legend who co-designed the first FHE library (HElib) amongst his many other accomplishments (look up NTL library). Both @offchain and @fhenix are now focused on: 1. Conducting R&D to make FHE–cryptography's holy grail–both ubiquitous and accessible. 2. Bringing FHE-based confidentiality to Arbitrum, Ethereum and beyond… Together with @offchain we’re pioneering a future where anyone can quickly and easily tap into the power of FHE from anywhere, at a time when the need for onchain confidentiality is greater than ever. A confidential future for Ethereum is now closer than ever before. FHEels good man…
