There are plenty of services across the Web3 space that claim decentralization. When you dig in, youโ€™ll find that the essential decryption keys effectively are held by either one entity or a small permissioned set of entities.

An important update for node operators just dropped, concerning a new phase of TACo's gradual migration to a new protocol. (1) The 6-month deauthorization delay is universally and permanently discontinued. Future incentivized token lock mechanisms will be opt-in. (2) For active nodes, rewards (Stable Yield) will remain the same or increase to a higher annual rate from September. (3) Fee revenue will be distributed in early 2026. (4) Handover protocol is now functional for maintaining the size of cohorts and persistent public encryption keys. See announcements channel for details: discord.com/channels/4114016โ€ฆ

Replying to @gakonst
100% achievable today with the TACo network (fka NuCypher) @buildwithtaco Encrypt with DKG public key, embedding the access condition `contract.isValid() == True`, & the contract address. 30-100 TACo nodes threshold validate individually, then send decryption fragments docs.taco.build/for-developeโ€ฆ

New branding, new condition builder workspace demo, new JSON RPC (~oracle) functionality, & new opinions on where TACo fits in the programmable cryptography paradigm. youtu.be/MHK7C1O_CCk?si=upW7โ€ฆ ๐ŸงตA few key points from the talk

The TACo playground was a huge hit at #ETHDenver2025 ๐Ÿค— @buildwithtaco
so sad that my product experiences with @StoryProtocol and @selfxyz didn't work onsite for account create-ups and beta users. I'm super hyped to use them both. @ThresholdAC playground was the most inspiring ๐Ÿ’ซ

had a lovely conversation with the folks at TACo (@TheTNetwork and nuCypher). looking forward to seeing them lead their way into making Ethereum cypherpunk again :) (definitely check this booth out if youโ€™re looking for cypherpunk tooling and not the same L1, L2 shit)

I was so happy to connect with these two in person today at ETH Denver after 4 years of collaboration. David Nuรฑez was the author of the first NuCypher research paper I used for BqETH, and is CTO of NuCypher. Derek Pierre is the hands-on Business Development Lead who has helped me a lot with integration of their best in top-notch technology.

Your app is built on a permissionless execution layer. Your governance is on-chain. Your storage/databases are distributed. So why is your access control layer โ€“ which directly determines the trust model of your end-users' private data โ€“ still effectively centralized? Today during @EthereumDenver at 2:10 PM, @arjunhassard explains how to fix one of Web3โ€™s (and the wider Web's) weakest links: Programmable vs. Decentralized Secrets Management Sat, Mar 1st at | 2:10 PM BUIDLSquad Stage

Headed to @EthereumDenver 2025 ๐Ÿ›ฌ Ready for some delicious TACo? ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ’š
Incredibly, ETHDenver will have two kinds of tacos. ๐ŸŒฎThe kind you eat while hacking. ๐Ÿ”The kind that is a decentralized encrypt/decrypt API for all dApps handling non-public data. We strongly recommend both. TACo is bringing the API and free tacos to the No Cap, All dApps hackathon alongside @Zuzalu_city Win up to $3K for integrating TACo in your build.

Massive news as our longtime partners @3BoxLabs (Ceramic/OrbisDB/ComposeDB) and @Textileio (Tableland/Basin) are merging to build the first open agent-to-agent intelligence network. As mentioned in their AMA just now, intra-agent knowledge sharing & collaboration requires advanced access control. We're thinking complex condition logic a genuinely decentralized cryptosystem. Excited to build on existing integrations (e.g. docs.taco.build/integrationsโ€ฆ) and undergird the privacy/safety components of this multi-agent future.

Weโ€™re excited to share that Textile and @3BoxLabs are merging companies to build intelligence infrastructure for AI! Two pioneering teams in decentralized data joining forces to co-create an open network for multi-agent intelligence. Massive! ๐Ÿงตย (1/11) coindesk.com/business/2025/0โ€ฆ

Threshold Access Control x Marlin Decentralized compute needs decentralized back-ups. When TEEs go down, that could mean the irreversible loss of all data encrypted with its private keys โ€“ e.g. a model's training weights, an orderbook's unfulfilled trades, or sensitive end-user data. From today, mainnet TACo nodes will independently enforce conditional access to TEE root keys, abiding by a 16-of-30 threshold. This is a first-of-its-kind layering of distinct trust-minimizing technologies, combining enclaves remote attestations a battle-tested, cryptoeconomically-secured network of nodes executing cryptographic primitives.

In yet another pioneering development, we introduce the first Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremony to hold a TEEโ€™s root key amongst 30 nodes in collaboration with @buildwithtaco TLDR. root keys of AI agents are now secured by not just 3, 5 or 7 but 30 nodes ๐Ÿคฏ
