The lack of privacy for smart contracts is the greatest barrier holding back large-scale institutional adoption of onchain finance—we’re fixing that.
Chainlink Confidential Compute unlocks a new class of private smart contracts that connect to real-world financial data and Web2 systems and interoperate across blockchains while keeping proprietary data, business logic, external connectivity, and computation fully confidential.
This unlocks new, previously impossible onchain use cases for institutions, such as:
• Private Transactions: Enable onchain value exchange with confidentiality, concealing key transaction details so transactions and market positions remain confidential.
• Privacy-Preserving Tokenization (RWAs): Bring new types of institutional real-world assets (RWAs) onchain, such as tokenized bonds, private credit pools, and fund allocations, without exposing investor information, deal sizes, or pricing terms.
• Confidential Data Distribution: Monetize and securely distribute your proprietary data onchain, such as benchmark indices, reference rates, and valuations, to approved subscribers only in a privacy-preserving manner, while also giving smart contracts the capacity to perform operations without revealing underlying data.
• Privacy-Preserving Cross-Chain Interoperability: Execute transactions across public and private blockchains without revealing key transaction data to Chainlink node operators or other third parties, enabling use cases like Delivery vs. Payment (DvP) settlement where tokenized assets and stablecoins/CBDCs exist on different chains.
• Privacy-Preserving Identity and Compliance: Prove compliance and verify identities using existing identity providers and APIs without revealing underlying personal or institutional data onchain or to the nodes themselves.
