1/ Solana is becoming the most privacy-capable blockchain in crypto.
@Spacemandev of Cohort 3's @Seedplex_io sat down with @Yrschrade to understand how @ArciumHQ is unlocking encrypted capital markets on @Solana — and it's way bigger than just privacy.
Full interview 👇+ 🧵
2/ @ArciumHQ is the encrypted execution engine for Solana. Here's what makes it different:
Privacy 1.0 (ZK Proofs): Isolated encrypted state
Privacy 2.0 (Arcium): Encrypted SHARED state
This unlocks an entirely new design space.
3/ What this enables on Solana:
✓ Dark pools & encrypted capital markets
✓ Confidential lending protocols
✓ Smart order routing across multiple dark venues
✓ Onchain programs managing confidential token balances
✓ Private AI training & inference with proprietary models
4/ Key tech breakthroughs:
• 16,000x faster than FHE
• Runs on basic hardware (no TEEs needed)
• Dishonest majority security (only needs 1-of-n honest nodes)
• MPC protocol you can actually build with
• Write Rust, get encryption.
All in a trustless, decentralized way
5/ Arcium works where privacy chains fail because it's a network extension on Solana, not its own L1.
That means it can:
- Tap Solana's existing liquidity from day one
- Avoid cold start problem for dev adoption
- Switch between public and private execution
6/ The institutional unlock is massive.
Institutions can now:
• Park millions without exposing P&L
• Trade confidentially while tapping Solana's public liquidity
• Access TradFi-style confidential trading venues onchain
7/ Timeline:
Mainnet Alpha: Q4 2025/Q1 2026 🤞
Mainnet Beta: Fully permissionless nodes coming soon
Teams building:
@UmbraHQ - incognito mode for Solana
Cohort 2’s @CrunchDAO - encrypted ML/AI
Cohort 3’s @Seedplex_io - democratized, private access to early stage equities
@UmbraHQ @crunchDAO @seedplex_io TLDR: Encrypted capital markets are coming.
