What they do

Problem

Decentralized applications need secure, decentralized ways to manage encryption keys and access control without relying on centralized trusted intermediaries.

Solution

Threshold Network (NuCypher) provides a decentralized threshold cryptography network offering primitives like proxy re-encryption, threshold access control (TACo), and related services (e.g., tBTC, random beacon) for end-to-end encrypted data sharing and key management.

Who it's for

Blockchain and Web3 developers building dApps and decentralized services that require secure encryption, key management, and access control.
