Arcium
Arcium is a parallelized confidential computing network that provides a trustless framework for developers to run encrypted computations. Leveraging technologies like Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Arcium aims to bring confidentiality to every on-chain application. It focuses on use cases such as private AI, encrypted DeFi, and on-chain dark pools, with the goal of becoming the global computing network for the decentralized internet.

Description
Arcium is a parallelized, decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) network designed to bring privacy and security to blockchain applications. It provides developers with a trustless, verifiable, and efficient framework to run encrypted computations, enabling data to be used to its full extent while remaining in an entirely encrypted state. Arcium's architecture consists of MXEs (Multiparty computation eXecution Environments), arxOS (a distributed operating system), and Arcis (a development framework). The project, which evolved from the team behind the Solana privacy protocol Elusiv, is chain-agnostic and supports use cases like private AI, encrypted DeFi, and on-chain dark pools. Arcium has secured a $5.5M strategic funding round, acquired core technology from Inpher, and established partnerships with entities like Darklake, CrunchDAO, and NVIDIA's Inception program to advance its mission.Grant Funding
