We let competing companies or complete strangers compute together on sensitive data: private inputs, verifiable outputs, no trusted hardware.

The internet gave us infrastructure to connect, communicate, and transact. But more and more of what we need to do together now involves information that cannot simply be shared.
Digital voting should produce a public, verifiable result without exposing individual choices. Healthcare researchers should be able to learn from sensitive patient data without exposing the people behind it. Competitors should be able to solve shared problems without giving up the information that keeps them competitive.
Interfold is building infrastructure for that problem: confidential coordination.
It lets independent parties compute together across private inputs without exposing them or relying on trusted hardware. Decryption is distributed across independent operators, and anyone can verify the result.
That opens the door to digital democratic systems with secret ballots, markets built around private positions, and entirely new forms of collective intelligence.
Systems increasingly bring together people, institutions, and agentic systems with different interests and incentives. The internet needs a new coordination model built for that reality.

Interfold Board update $FOLD
-New on Operators: Unique node operators.
-Ciphernodes that share the same bond owner now count as one person. So if one wallet runs 18 or 30 bonds, that’s still one unique operator — not 18 or 30.
-Open Operators → switch “Unique operators” to see the real set, with totals for bond, tickets, and nodes per owner. Expand any multi-node owner to inspect the individual ciphernodes.
Also tracking:
• Live Vote indicator — DAO with more polish on the DApps tab
• When ballots are cast, live voting activity will show under the CRISP DApp (InputPublished) — not mixed into the main Events feed

some things become more trustworthy when less is visible.
when we want to trust a process, we often ask to see inside it. show us the records. show us the inputs. show us who checked them. if an outcome matters, we tend to think seeing more will help us trust it more.
transparency and accountability have become tightly linked.
but there are systems where visibility can weaken the very thing it is meant to protect.
take a secret ballot. we need to know that the votes were counted correctly, not how each person voted. exposing individual votes can make people easier to pressure, while a verifiable tally lets us check the outcome without seeing the choices beneath it.
the same tension appears in markets where participants cannot reveal their positions without changing one another's behavior, or institutions that could establish something together but cannot simply pool their records. different forms of coordination, each shaped by what participants can safely reveal.
none of these examples calls for less accountability. they ask us to separate what must be visible from what must be verified.
as computation produces more of the outcomes we share — votes, prices, rankings, models, allocations — that distinction gives us more room to ask what a system actually needs to know, rather than simply what it is capable of knowing.
once trust no longer has to depend on total visibility, we can start building shared systems around a different question: not how much they can see, but how little they actually need to.

The institutional question is as important as the cognitive one.
A society of agents needs more than communication and orchestration. It needs ways for independent participants to produce shared, verifiable outcomes without surrendering private data or execution authority.
The popular narrative of AGI often centers on a single, isolated super-intelligence. My colleagues James Manyika, @bratton, and I have a different model. In our new DeepMind Institute essay, we argue that the AGI transition will be a highly social event.

The shift isn't just about protecting sensitive data. It's about questioning how much we need to collect in the first place.
The same thinking extends beyond verification: what becomes possible when people and organizations can coordinate without pooling their information?
🚨 LATEST: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without collecting users’ personal data.
She warns current KYC/AML practices create “data haystacks.”

Ethereum’s recent privacy-by-default push makes one thing worth separating out: “privacy” on @Ethereum can mean very different things.
Today, teams are working across:
🔹 Private identity
@fluidkey · @ZupassProject · @Rarimo_protocol · @zkPass · @ZKPassport · @proofofhumanity · @selfxyz
🔸 Private voting
@theInterfold · @zkMACI
🔹 Private communication
@session_app · @fileverse · @ethstatus
🔸 Stealth addresses
@fluidkey · @UmbraPrivacy · Nachtara · @keepitcloaked · @0xCurvy
🔹 Shielded balances
@RAILGUN_Project · @0xprivacypools · @hinkal_protocol · @AnomaPay · @PrivacyBoost
🔸 Wallet privacy
Kohaku · @fluidkey · Nachtara
🔹 Programmable privacy / L2s
@Aztecnetwork · @0xfairblock · @SilentDataApp · @Starknet
So when you say “strongest privacy,” what exactly are you optimizing for?
Pick 2 projects you’re rooting for today and tell us why.

A private vote can still be bought if you can prove how you voted.

That's where receipt-freeness comes in.
Our latest article explores why votes shouldn't come with receipts, how Interfold approaches the problem through vote masking, and what it takes to protect the freedom to choose.

Interfold is heading to Korea for Korea Blockchain Week 🇰🇷 @kbwofficial
If you're building in privacy, Ethereum, or confidential compute, we'd love to meet while we're there.
DM @0xkeygen if you'll be around!

Private AI is resurfacing an older question: how can we coordinate without over-sharing?
It's not only about keeping data out of hyperscaler clouds. It's about making more possible between humans + agents + institutions without requiring them to pool info in the first place.
Where are the AI privacy advocates?
Do they even exist, beyond @ErikVoorhees ?
Open, private AI is needed when handling sensitive health records, confidential corporate records, patents and trade secrets, and a host of other things we don't want to leak to big hyperscaler clouds.

Secret ballots without a trusted ballot operator or trusted hardware.
Interfold uses encrypted computation and ciphernode committees to produce verifiable results from private votes.

Big move! Congrats Millie and the @Trueo_ team.
Love seeing the commitment to building for the long term on @ethereum.
Some big news, Trueo will be deploying to Ethereum!
The rationale for this decision is outlined in the article below, but here’s the TLDR:
The combination of low execution costs on Ethereum, it’s unparalleled network effects and liquidity, and it’s long term positioning make it the most attractive place for us to build.
Trueo’s priorities are to grow liquidity, reduce trust assumptions for the protocol, increase the App’s adoption, and build for the future.
We believe Ethereum mainnet is the best platform in the world to support that vision and to develop a long term brand.
Eth’s neutral and predictable roadmap reduces external execution risk for our App, its global distribution as a platform gives us unbounded integration potential, and its ethos is aligned with that of ours.
Ironically though, despite Ethereum’s diverse DeFi ecosystem, the prediction market landscape is less crowded than other chains.
This presents an opportunity for Trueo to establish a presence in the largest onchain economy in the world.
For Trueo users on Base, this new development will not impact or disrupt the App.
The TRUE token will migrate to mainnet, but the migration will be open ended. Users will be able to migrate at their own pace.
Users can still create markets that expire in 2026, and all existing markets will be supported until their respective expiries.
But for new market ideas that need to expire in 2027, we ask users to wait until our Ethereum instance is live to create them.
The full details of what the migration entails for users and token holders can be found in the article.
Long live Trueo. Long Live Ethereum ✌️
