Hello sir how are you doing ?
I saw this tweet from vitalik and thought it might be interesting. do you think that partisia blockchain is part of what he says?
Vitalik say " I take this seriously. Starting next year, I plan to only publicly mention (in blogs, talks, etc) L2s that are stage 1+, with *maybe a short grace period* for new genuinely interesting projects.
It doesn't matter if I invested, or if you're my friend; stage 1 or bust.
Multiple ZK-rollup teams have told me they're on track to be stage 1 by year end. I'm excited to see that happen!
Of course we should not throw away training wheels become we're actually confident that the proof systems are secure; that would be irresponsible. But stage 1 (75% threshold on council to override the proof system, 26%+ of council must be outside the rollup team) is a very reasonable moderate milestone. The multisigs I'm in have not had a single liveness failure in years, let alone 26%.
The era of rollups being glorified multisigs is coming to an end. The era of cryptographic trust is upon us."
See you soon !

The promise and challenges of crypto + AI applications
2024 Jan 30See all posts
Special thanks to the Worldcoin and Modulus Labs teams, Xinyuan Sun, Martin Koeppelmann and Illia Polosukhin for feedback and discussion.
Many people over the years have asked me a similar question: what are the intersections between crypto and AI that I consider to be the most fruitful? It's a reasonable question: crypto and AI are the two main deep (software) technology trends of the past decade, and it just feels like there must be some kind of connection between the two. It's easy to come up with synergies at a superficial vibe level: crypto decentralization can balance out AI centralization, AI is opaque and crypto brings transparency, AI needs data and blockchains are good for storing and tracking data. But over the years, when people would ask me to dig a level deeper and talk about specific applications, my response has been a disappointing one: "yeah there's a few things but not that much".
In the last three years, with the rise of much more powerful AI in the form of modern LLMs, and the rise of much more powerful crypto in the form of not just blockchain scaling solutions but also ZKPs, FHE, (two-party and N-party) MPC, I am starting to see this change. There are indeed some promising applications of AI inside of blockchain ecosystems, or AI together with cryptography, though it is important to be careful about how the AI is applied. A particular challenge is: in cryptography, open source is the only way to make something truly secure, but in AI, a model (or even its training data) being open greatly increases its vulnerability to adversarial machine learning attacks. This post will go through a classification of different ways that crypto + AI could intersect, and the prospects and challenges of each category.
Heres how Partisia is playing a huge role in AI future...
https://www.partisia.com/next/artificial-intelligence/
Converting sensitive data into anonymised data
AI is already impacting how we automate tasks and make better decisions across many. Data is the oil and although large language models trained on publicly available data are very popular some of the more important problems require data that are proprietary and something highly confidential and regulated.
The Partisia Platform is developed to address data confidentiality but also transparency into the use of data. These properties address both data regulations like GDPR and the core requirements in the EU’s AI act and Data act.

Do All Roads Lead To MPC? Exploring The End-Game For Privacy Infrastructure
The main argument of this post is that if the desirable end-state is to have programmable privacy infrastructure that can handle shared private state without any single point of failure, then all roads lead to MPC. We also explore the maturity of MPC and its trust assumptions, highlight alternative approaches, compare tradeoffs, and provide an industry overview.

Case study
Governance policy of digitalization
in the energy sector
Geneva, 2024
Introduction
The challenge of climate change is prompting diverse approaches to the global energy transition
across different regions:
- Europe largely focuses on integrating renewable energy sources (RES) and achieving netzero emissions;
- North America emphasizes energy independence and innovation in clean technologies;
- Sub-Saharan Africa and many developing regions prioritize sustainable expansion of
access to electricity;
- In Asia, the primary goal is to meet the rapidly increasing energy demand sustainably,
balancing economic growth with environmental considerations.
Digitalization has the potential to revolutionize energy systems by optimizing energy production,
distribution, and consumption through advanced technologies like smart grids, Internet of Things
(IoT), blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Machine Learning (ML). These technologies offer
real-time data management and analytics, improving energy efficiency and reliability while
supporting a more seamless integration of RES, including by enabling new business models in
demand response and peer-to-peer local and flexibility trading. From a governance perspective,
digitalization can improve transparency and accountability, ensure equitable access to energy
including citizen participation in energy markets, engaging a broader range of stakeholders in
decision-making processes and addressing the needs and aspirations of all segments of society,
including the most vulnerable.
Viewing the digital transformation of the energy system through a governance lens is essential
to navigate the emerging opportunities and challenges of an increasingly distributed energy
market. By adopting a proactive approach, governance can harness digital technologies to
improve monitoring, forecasting, and decision-making processes, ensuring that the energy
transition is both efficient and inclusive. This approach also provides the flexibility to adapt to
emerging challenges, such as data privacy concerns, the digital divide, low standardization and
compatibility across different technologies and regions, the difficulty of balancing rapid
innovation with the need for effective regulation, the need for digital and energy literacy and
new skills and expertise, environmental concerns related to digital technologies, and the
necessity for strong cybersecurity measures. Effective governance must navigate these
complexities to harness the full potential of digital technologies while safeguarding the interests
of all stakeholders.
Therefore, the digital transformation of energy systems presents a unique intersection of
technological advancement and governance innovation. By leveraging digital tools within a
robust energy governance framework, stakeholders can achieve a more resilient, secure,
sustainable, and inclusive energy future.

Japanese SBI Group, one of the leading global financial services providers, has teamed up with Danish cryptographic company Sepior to create a virtual asset proprietary wallet jointly. The new service, which comes amid growing regulatory scrutiny in Asia, will be integrated into the SBI digital currency exchange VCTRADE, according to a Sepior press release from Monday.
SBI chose the Danish firm’s software due to its multiparty computation (MPC) software called Threshold-Sig Wallet Security. Sepior claims that this technology guarantees a high-level degree of protection for the encryption key.

https://www.enterpriseai.news/2024/04/03/nvidia-exec-secure-ai-economies-could-help-everyone-profit/
An Nvidia executive shared a bold vision of AI economies where individuals and companies can sell their AI assets, such as data, software, or models, without compromising their intellectual property.
There’s a critical underlying technology required: confidential AI, which will help parties build secure vaults to protect their AI assets.
The emerging concept of “confidential AI” involves creating a trusted computing environment in which AI data is securely stored, transferred, and processed without being leaked.
The AI assets of users, including foundation models, can be stored in secure containers that can only be accessed by authorized parties after many authentication techniques.
That’s similar to establishing small storefronts with individuals selling their AI assets, with trustworthy relationships between the buyers and sellers. The third-party can’t see the AI asset and can only see the output.
“If that happens, we just opened up an economy of people with data, AI software, foundation models, infrastructures, and specialization that allows new business models to happen,” said Ian Buck, vice president and general manager of hyperscale and HPC computing at Nvidia, during a panel discussion at the Open Confidential Computing Conference in March.

Luc Falempin, CEO at Tokeny and Director at the ERC3643 Association joins us for a webinar discussing the importance of creating the RWA standard, why there is the need to go beyond just the tokenization of an asset, and where Partisia Blockchain can help in moving the standard forward.
What is the difference between ERC-20 and ERC3643?
The ERC-3643 standard, also known as the T-REX (Token for Regulated Exchanges) standard, is a modification of ERC-20. It is designed to bring compliance to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and is a permissioned token that uses smart contract technology to define conditional transfer functions.

4 Sept 2024
Luc Falempin, CEO at Tokeny and Director at the ERC3643 Association joins us for a webinar discussing the importance of creating the RWA standard, why there is the need to go beyond just the tokenization of an asset, and where Partisia Blockchain can help in moving the standard forward.
What is the difference between ERC-20 and ERC3643?
The ERC-3643 standard, also known as the T-REX (Token for Regulated Exchanges) standard, is a modification of ERC-20. It is designed to bring compliance to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and is a permissioned token that uses smart contract technology to define conditional transfer functions.

Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx
UNAIDS is proud that Pradeep Kakkattil, Director of Innovations, UNAIDS, has been named by Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship & World Economic Forum as 'Public Social Intrapreneur of the Year 2022' at the #SchwabAwards22 #DavosAgenda for the creation of the Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx!
https://www.schwabfound.org/awardees/pradeep-kakkattil/
The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, sister organization of the World Economic Forum, is a leading global platform that accelerates outstanding models of social innovation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwab_Foundation_for_Social_Entrepreneurship
In 1998, Klaus Schwab and his wife Hilde decided to create the independent not-for-profit Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.[4] Its mission was to promote social innovation. This new foundation was complementary to the World Economic Forum,[5] founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971.

We’re entering a new phase where the complexity is fading into the background. The blockchains that power this activity are becoming faster and safer. Smart contracts that can automatically move billions of dollars in seconds are proving resilient through a wide range of market cycles and becoming easier to build upon. Software developers are making it easier for consumers to access and use blockchain apps and services.
This is paving the way for a future in which billions of people will interact with the internet financial system on a daily basis without needing to understand how it works, just as they use email, messaging apps and browsers to access the internet without directly touching complexity. Many may not even realize they are using stablecoins on blockchain networks. It will simply run in the background, just like today’s commerce infrastructure but faster, cheaper and more accessible.
Perhaps the most exciting thing about this new phase is that we can’t predict what kind of financial innovations will thrive — many haven’t even been conceived of today. Thirty years ago, when the original internet was beginning to emerge, there was a rush to replicate analog experiences online. The New York Times debuted on AOL in 1994, followed by the launch of nytimes.com two years later. Who could have predicted that within a generation, billions of people around the world would be able to stream Hollywood movies on handheld mobile phones while riding the subway, access all of the world’s knowledge instantly at no cost and be able to buy or sell nearly any product made and delivered from any corner of the world?
This same level of innovation is now possible for the world of money. New applications built for the internet financial system are likely to blow our minds in ways we can’t yet anticipate, much as the internet has done over and over again as online networks and software have proliferated around the world. A better financial system is within our reach that can unlock more economic potential globally. Now it’s time to build it.

One of the things has happened....
Buy orders filled at 10cents......
Partisia Blockchain Foundation new ceo is...........
https://x.com/adrienne_adz
https://www.tiktok.com/@partisiacommunity/video/7410103665178217761
Adz has recently joined the Partisia Blockchain Foundation as CEO, bringing a wealth of experience and a dynamic approach to the role.
For those who might not have the time to watch the full announcement video, here’s a brief summary of Adz’s journey so far:
Adz began their career in brand and business strategy within FTSE 100 companies, focusing on positioning and activating brands to stand out in the marketplace. This led to roles in group strategy and global brand management at Diageo, where they managed rum brands across Europe and directed global communications, PR, and social media for Captain Morgan. During this time, Adz consistently exceeded targets across all European markets for two consecutive years.
In a bold move, Adz and their husband relocated to Mongolia just three months after getting married. There, they began building service businesses, eventually expanding into Singapore. They successfully secured major clients such as Heineken, Rio Tinto, HSBC, and PwC. After several years, they sold the Singaporean business first, followed by the Mongolian one, navigating the challenges of selling service-based companies.
Adz then ventured into the tech startup world, an experience that, despite not ending in success, provided invaluable lessons and opened the door to the world of Web3. Over the past few years, Adz has worked in DAOs on various freelance projects before joining a Web3 startup as Head of Marketing & Partnerships. In this role, they drove the adoption of DAO tooling and digital identity across 13 major Web3 communities. Most recently, Adz led growth at POKT Network, a journey that eventually led them to Partisia.
As CEO, Adz plans to bring an execution-focused leadership style, emphasizing rapid progress and expecting the same from the team. The goal is to significantly boost adoption over the next six months and beyond.
Adz is also committed to refining the organization’s positioning, ensuring that Partisia’s narratives cut through the noise in today’s attention economy. Furthermore, they aim to foster a community-centric approach, increasing transparency and engaging more deeply with the community during this next chapter.
While formal announcements are forthcoming, Adz wanted to share this update without delay. Understanding that Web3 thrives on early information, Adz ensured that the community hears this news first.
In coordination with Peter, Adz will host an open mic community call next week (week of the 9th). Further details will be shared soon.
IMO ADZ is not what most were expecting...however maybe thats a good thing.
Does Partisia team really need another zk,fh,mpc tech guru...or do they need more people from other business areas to help grow Partisia?
The Partisia team is full of crypto genuises and are at their best when working with govs,ngos,institutions but they did lack in areas out of crypto, esp marketing,promoting the MPC product to a more mainstream audience and building with a community.
Hopefully ADZ is that bit of fresh air that Partisia needs to help take Partisia Blockchain to new unexplored areas.
The team is working hard and so is the community....together is the only way to success.
ADZ this isnt going to be easy....the road ahead is tough.....there will be alot of hard work ahead....
Good luck....and....

@partisiampc
to bring the most exclusive alpha-packed DeCC event yet!
https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/decc-decentralized-confidential-computing-takes-center-stage-at-token2049-singapore
DeCC, Decentralized Confidential Computing, is a new Web3 technology which marries key blockchain features of transparency with traditional confidential computing. DeCC has already been adopted by 30 plus blockchain networks and that figure is growing exponentially.
The DeCC day is held on 16th September during Token2049 - to register click here.
In recent years, Web3 projects working in the area of data protection and confidential execution of smart contracts have often been labeled as “privacy coins” or “privacy chains” and thus bundled together with earlier generations of solutions focused solely on transactional privacy, like Monero or Zcash. This has caused confusion and misunderstanding of the capabilities of the technology.
DeCC projects provide the ability to create smart contracts with encrypted data onchain, far more powerful than simply sending a token privately.
The DeCC Alliance was born at ETHDenver in 2024. This coalition of blockchain networks seeks to educate the public on the powerful capabilities of DeCC - mature blockchain for enterprise.
The projects involved in the movement so far include (in alphabetical order):
Acurast, Aleo, Aleph Zero, Automata, Aztec, COTI, Fairblock, Fhenix, iExec, Inco, Integritee, Intmax, Marlin, Mind Network, Novapolis, Oasis, Partisia Blockchain Foundation, Phala, Secret Network, Sunscreen, Swisstronik, TEN, Ternoa and Zama. Additional projects are welcome to contact this organization and add their voices and resources to the effort.

What i didnt know is Cardano is working very closely with Partisa through ERMURGO.
https://www.emurgo.io/press-news/emurgo-ventures-partners-with-partisia-blockchain/
SINGAPORE MAY 3 2022 / EMURGO Ptd. Ltd. – EMURGO Ventures announced today a partnership with Partisia Blockchain, a Layer 1 public blockchain protocol built for privacy, trust, and scalability, to allow for the exchange of resources to enhance Cardano’s decentralized privacy features on-chain.
EMURGO Ventures is a wholly-owned investment subsidiary of EMURGO Ptd. Ltd. – the official commercial arm and a founding entity of the Cardano blockchain – that was launched in 2021 as part of EMURGO’s $100 million Cardano ecosystem investment vehicle to support decentralized applications (dApp) and middleware solutions development on Cardano.
The objective of the strategic partnership is for Cardano decentralized application (dApp) developers and its users to be able to leverage Partisia blockchain’s privacy-preserving zero-knowledge (ZK), multi-party computation (MPC) for Cardano dApps. Partisia’s development team will develop customized smart contracts for Cardano developers to utilize when applicable to their dApp’s use case, which will still use Cardano ADA or Cardano-based tokens. Ultimately, this optionality provides both Cardano developers and their dApp users with more robust privacy.
According to venture capital firm a16z, “the next phase, this next decade, will be about the ability to interact with anyone, anywhere, at any time — privately, without revealing one’s data, and with more control in the user’s hands” and that “new web standards built with zero-knowledge proofs and blockchains will therefore offer users choice by introducing a new privacy layer for the web.”
Next month Both Partisa and ERMURGO will discuss RWA tech at TOKEN2049 event in Singapore.

Partisia and Binance and Bono! teamed up for charity...
Last month, (RED), the pandemic fighting organization co-founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver and Partisia Blockchain, an internet privacy infrastructure which works to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, joined forces to help raise money for COVID-19 relief in response to the ongoing and devastating impact of the virus in the world's poorest countries.
https://www.binance.charity/posts/61/Partisia-Blockchain-Teams-Up-With-Binance-Charity-to-Support--RED--S-NFT-Drop-To-Fight-COVID-
Partisia Blockchain Foundation granted early access to the Partisia Blockchain public launch on May 31st, as well as access to future UN Sustainable Development goal projects which are currently under development, such as the “Healthies” project; A counterfeit medicine detection platform which runs on the Partisia Blockchain and aims to eradicate the $200 billion dollar per year counterfeit medicine trade in Africa.
After months of planning, the minting finally took place on May 23rd and the results were remarkable. In just the first minute alone, 2,000 NFTs were sold. In total, the drop helped raise over $330,000, and thanks to the generous matching funds made available by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the impact was doubled to $660,000 raised in just one week.
Now the big one............
Ever wondered how Partisia Blockchain was at this years WEF.....well when i found out this today i was seriously like....WTF....
Get ready for some eye opening info....
https://originall.com/solutions/healthies/
https://chainwire.org/2021/12/21/partisia-blockchain-partners-with-originall-to-tackle-counterfeit-medicine-fraud-in-african-countries/
Zug, Switzerland, 21st December, 2021,
Partisia Blockchain is joining forces with OriginAll, a Swiss-born technology company, to tackle the massive humanitarian issue of counterfeit medicine and lack of accountability for remittances and charitable donations.
The problem of counterfeit medicine pervades across African countries where up to 70% of medicines are fake according to WHO estimations. These illicit products kill millions of people every year while providing funding to criminal organizations and fostering corruption. Counterfeiting is estimated to cost over $4 trillion per year for the worldwide economy.
Here, OriginAll together with Partisia Blockchain can see an opportunity to make a difference. The result of the partnership is a unique system called OriginAll Healthies, which uses tokenization to reinvent how remittances and charitable donations are distributed. Thanks to Healthies — special tokens that can be used only to purchase real medicine — the donors can ensure that all their money will be used by their intended recipients.
The use of Partisia Blockchain’s technology ensures that this system can be used by anyone, including the unbanked, in alignment with the UHC 2030 by reinforcing and advancing quality health services available for all and ensuring people are not pushed into poverty by health care costs. Healthies are intended both for large-scale organizations and for the average person sending remittances to their loved ones, and provide complete reassurance for both Healthies senders and receivers. This technology will further support the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) Secretariat, with whom OriginAll has signed an exclusive agreement in its mandate to create a safe trade zone across African countries. With OriginAll’s partnership with 54 African nations, Healthies can be potentially rolled out to over 1.3 billion people.
“OriginAll is an ideal example of what we want to achieve as a project and with our focus on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG),” said Kurt Nielsen, Partisia Blockchain President.
“We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to join forces with Partisia Blockchain combining our expertise in anti-counterfeiting and illicit trade with Partisia Blockchain’s unique Web 3.0 blockchain, built on decades of research and commercial grade multiparty computation software development,” said Hans Schwab, CEO of OriginAll. “Together we will make sure that those most in need have better and more equitable access to safe, verifiable medicines and healthcare products while providing donors an unparalleled level of transparency and auditability.”
MUST WATCH and see what is being planned.....Partisa Blockchain forms one of the four pillars of Healthies future.

PROGRAMMABLE MONEY, UNLOCKED!
Future Investment Initiative 7th Edition | October 25th, 2023
In an era marked by extraordinary challenges and transformative opportunities, how we allocate financial resources is more critical than ever. We foresee a future where every dollar, whether it's a donation or investment, private or institutional, is transformed into a "Programmable Monetary Unit." In this paradigm, each unit is linked to a smart contract tied to specific goals, be it a medication, a medical device, or a healthcare service. These units come with built-in criteria for time, geographical location, and the verification and authentication of the service provided or product delivered.
16min40sec, The other part thats very critical is our partnership with PARTISA Blockchain,leaders in MPC tech,i dont think there is a better team,very strong,very solid. "Hans Schwab"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/2000-01/24/016r-012400-idx.html
Over the years, some Davos staff members have helped create private-sector start-up companies initiated by Schwab. He said he hopes one of them will eventually make enough money to help him create an international award similar to the Nobel Prize.
The first company was a video conferencing enterprise called AVC Inc, which used technology developed at the World Economic Forum starting in 1987. It was headed by Hans-Joerg Schwab, Klaus Schwab's nephew.( WTF!!!!) The nephew was selected because "he was the person at hand to do it," Klaus Schwab said.
https://ashishshukla-92505.medium.com/the-man-who-runs-the-world-economic-forum-you-know-nothing-about-bcd65ce132c9
His nephew, Hans Schwab, now uses the Forum’s own funds to manage its logistics through his Global Events Management company — again acquiring the startup capital from the Forum. He hosts Forum’s all events, a deal worth several million dollars a year.

Partisia Blockchain Foundation granted early access to the Partisia Blockchain public launch on May 31st, as well as access to future UN Sustainable Development goal projects which are currently under development, such as the “Healthies” project; A counterfeit medicine detection platform which runs on the Partisia Blockchain and aims to eradicate the $200 billion dollar per year counterfeit medicine trade in Africa.
After months of planning, the minting finally took place on May 23rd and the results were remarkable. In just the first minute alone, 2,000 NFTs were sold. In total, the drop helped raise over $330,000, and thanks to the generous matching funds made available by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the impact was doubled to $660,000 raised in just one week.
Now the big one............
Ever wondered how Partisia Blockchain was at this years WEF.....well when i found out this today i was seriously like....WTF....
Get ready for some eye opening info....

https://chainwire.org/2021/12/21/partisia-blockchain-partners-with-originall-to-tackle-counterfeit-medicine-fraud-in-african-countries/
Zug, Switzerland, 21st December, 2021,
Partisia Blockchain is joining forces with OriginAll, a Swiss-born technology company, to tackle the massive humanitarian issue of counterfeit medicine and lack of accountability for remittances and charitable donations.
The problem of counterfeit medicine pervades across African countries where up to 70% of medicines are fake according to WHO estimations. These illicit products kill millions of people every year while providing funding to criminal organizations and fostering corruption. Counterfeiting is estimated to cost over $4 trillion per year for the worldwide economy.
Here, OriginAll together with Partisia Blockchain can see an opportunity to make a difference. The result of the partnership is a unique system called OriginAll Healthies, which uses tokenization to reinvent how remittances and charitable donations are distributed. Thanks to Healthies — special tokens that can be used only to purchase real medicine — the donors can ensure that all their money will be used by their intended recipients.
The use of Partisia Blockchain’s technology ensures that this system can be used by anyone, including the unbanked, in alignment with the UHC 2030 by reinforcing and advancing quality health services available for all and ensuring people are not pushed into poverty by health care costs. Healthies are intended both for large-scale organizations and for the average person sending remittances to their loved ones, and provide complete reassurance for both Healthies senders and receivers. This technology will further support the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) Secretariat, with whom OriginAll has signed an exclusive agreement in its mandate to create a safe trade zone across African countries. With OriginAll’s partnership with 54 African nations, Healthies can be potentially rolled out to over 1.3 billion people.
“OriginAll is an ideal example of what we want to achieve as a project and with our focus on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG),” said Kurt Nielsen, Partisia Blockchain President.
“We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to join forces with Partisia Blockchain combining our expertise in anti-counterfeiting and illicit trade with Partisia Blockchain’s unique Web 3.0 blockchain, built on decades of research and commercial grade multiparty computation software development,” said Hans Schwab, CEO of OriginAll. “Together we will make sure that those most in need have better and more equitable access to safe, verifiable medicines and healthcare products while providing donors an unparalleled level of transparency and auditability.”
MUST WATCH and see what is being planned.....Partisa Blockchain forms one of the four pillars of Healthies future.

PROGRAMMABLE MONEY, UNLOCKED!
Future Investment Initiative 7th Edition | October 25th, 2023
In an era marked by extraordinary challenges and transformative opportunities, how we allocate financial resources is more critical than ever. We foresee a future where every dollar, whether it's a donation or investment, private or institutional, is transformed into a "Programmable Monetary Unit." In this paradigm, each unit is linked to a smart contract tied to specific goals, be it a medication, a medical device, or a healthcare service. These units come with built-in criteria for time, geographical location, and the verification and authentication of the service provided or product delivered.
16min40sec, The other part thats very critical is our partnership with PARTISA Blockchain,leaders in MPC tech,i dont think there is a better team,very strong,very solid. "Hans Schwab"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/2000-01/24/016r-012400-idx.html
Over the years, some Davos staff members have helped create private-sector start-up companies initiated by Schwab. He said he hopes one of them will eventually make enough money to help him create an international award similar to the Nobel Prize.
The first company was a video conferencing enterprise called AVC Inc, which used technology developed at the World Economic Forum starting in 1987. It was headed by Hans-Joerg Schwab, Klaus Schwab's nephew.( WTF!!!!) The nephew was selected because "he was the person at hand to do it," Klaus Schwab said.
https://ashishshukla-92505.medium.com/the-man-who-runs-the-world-economic-forum-you-know-nothing-about-bcd65ce132c9
His nephew, Hans Schwab, now uses the Forum’s own funds to manage its logistics through his Global Events Management company — again acquiring the startup capital from the Forum. He hosts Forum’s all events, a deal worth several million dollars a year.
Partisa MPC....all the way to the top 3....just a matter of time.
OH one last bit of info i just found out ...
Partisa Blockchain today got a new CEO....i wonder who it is?
Im loading on more MPC now
I was curious on how Partisia is so close to the EU commission...
This is what i found....
https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe_en
What is Horizon Europe?
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. Following the Multiannual Financial Framework Midterm Review (MTR) decision, the indicative funding amount for Horizon Europe for the period 2021-2027 is EUR 93.5 billion.
It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies.

(Sepior now part of Blockdaemon)
Danish encryption specialist Sepior, founded in 2014, was started on the back of ground-breaking encryption projects and the support of the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.
Ahmet Tuncay, Sepior CEO said: “Yes, we’re a truly Danish company and found our footing within the Horizon programme, which deals mostly with small to medium enterprise projects or SMEs. For companies with promising technologies, the EU economic commission provides grants for the ones they believe will become a commercial success. But there’s a fairly high bar for them to grant you this money, you have to commit to specific milestones and strict targets. The commitment our founders of the company made was: ‘If you give us these funds and support, we’re going to create economic activity within the EU, which means hiring people and growing the company’.
He continued: “Our obligation was really to take that money and create a piece of commercially viable technology. At the early stages, specific use cases aren’t as important as the foundational technology and broad market appeal. Once the foundation is created, we wanted to be able to acquire institutional funding to go and build a business. In the long term our obligation is to create jobs, insofar as the EU is concerned, but now we have commitments to our shareholders, so it’s not just jobs that matter today.”
Tuncay says: “If you just look at the size of the market for encryption key management, you’re not going to be impressed by the number, it’s only around a $1 billion market. But if you take the same technology, repurpose it and, apply it to commercial asset exchanges, which is a $300 billion market, and find a way to participate in a revenue sharing opportunity, you’ve moved yourself from a $1 billion market to a $300 billion market. You then have to figure out how to extract your fair share from that activity.”...........................
.....................
Tuncay says: “When you move into the blockchain application the threshold aspect is more around signing key availability and management. What we’ve done here is to take the key management function and distribute it using multi-party computation (MPC). We’re able to distribute the key generation and management functions across multiple virtual servers, if you will, in the cloud, such that no individual server has a full key that could be hacked or stolen. But collectively maybe two out of three of these virtual servers can provide keys for all the users that require access to the content on that blockchain. This threshold aspect gives a high degree of availability, reliability and integrity of both the encryption and the availability of key management.”
For this Danish company, it looks like blockchain will be The Killing it deserves.
https://startupfundingbook.com/how-do-i-get-a-public-grant-for-my-startup/
There is of course huge competition for such public grants. The infographic below shows statistics for one of the largest public grants in Europe, the Horizon 2020 SME Instruments managed by the EU, where Phase 1 is the small grants (up to €50,000) and Phase 2 (the large grants of up to €2.5 million). For Phase 1 applications, eight per cent got funding and for Phase 2, fewer than six per cent were successful. They base their decision on the paperwork you submit.
This is unlike approaching a VC fund or business angel where the personal relationship is key and you need an introduction. Wining and dining matters much less to get this type of funding; what you write down matters much more. You can get a conventional venture capitalist to invest in your startup if you’re a fantastic
person with charisma and a strong network and you’ve done it all before. But that’s no use if you apply for a public grant and write a poor application. You won’t get the grant even if your idea is great and you have a strong team to back it.
Sepior is a Danish cyber security company that was founded in 2013 when it received €500,000 in funding from both a local seed fund and business angels.
In 2015 the initial product (encryption software to protect cloud data from hacking) was finalised and tested by a number of potential customers. Sepior, together with some partners, applied for EU funding of approximately €2,300,000 to be used for further R&D and further market development. The money was provided by the EU support programme SME Instruments Phase 2, which provides public grants up to €2,500,000 to cover up to 70 per cent of project costs. Why was Sepior (of which the author of this blog is co-founder) successful in their grant application?
1. Sepior found a public grant topic that fitted them very well.
The specific SME instrument topic was: “The Open and Disruptive Innovation (ODI) scheme aims to foster the development of fast-growing, innovative SMEs with promising, close-to market ideas bearing high disruptive potential in terms of products, services, models, and markets”. Here was a grant allocation clearly aimed at SMEs like Sepior, who were close to market (the core product was already developed) and had disruptive potential. Sepior had developed a ground-breaking technology that had the potential to disrupt the way we protect cloud data; all in all, a very good fit between grant topic and the project.
2. Sepior had a very strong team with external support:
Sepior is lucky to have a world-class technical team and one of its co-founders is one of the most cited researchers in the world within cryptography. This was a very important part of the successful grant application. In addition, Sepior asked outside opinion leaders in IT security to write letters of support which they included in the application. These letters gave even more credibility to the team.
https://www.partisia.com/docs/leading-deep-tech-with-privacy-enhancing-technology-that-european-ai-law-and-ehds-are-driving-evolution/
Partisia initially focused on manufacturing contracts and energy-related products used in spectrum license sales and secure large-scale auctions, but has since developed and provided a variety of applications across platforms ranging from cloud computing to blockchain technology, in addition to infrastructure for cryptographic key management and general-purpose infrastructure for private computation (related information ).
For reference, Aarhus University, which produced Partisia, is a part of the European Union's research and development support program "Horizon Europe," and is coordinating the "SPEC: Secure, Private and Efficient Multi-Party Computation" (Implementation period: January 1, 2019 - October 31, 2024, related information ) and "Privacy for Provable Metadata" (Implementation period: August 1, 2023 - July 31, 2025, related information ). The university is also focusing on conferences related to privacy-enhancing technologies

Key Management as a Service
Objective
Client-side or end-2-end encryption is all about encrypting data before it enters the cloud, and is recognized as the correct manner for securing data in cloud computing. Cloud service providers as well as users of cloud services are increasingly concerned about data protection and look for client-side encryption. However, no pure cloud based solution with true cryptographic security exists. Existing solutions require non-cloud installations, which limits the market from adopting client-side encryption. In fact, NIST calls this a fundamental technical problem. Nevertheless, we solve this problem and offer a pure cloud based and convenient encryption solution that unlike existing products does not rely on either trust in individual cloud service providers or physical encryption gateways. These properties are achieved by a novel patent pending solution based on so-called Multi-Party Computation (MPC) protocols tailored to key management.
The main goal of the project, is to make Sepior ApS ready to scale the sale of the Sepior KMaaS product (pure cloud-based encryption solution) across Europe. This will be achieved by developing an API-based key management service and integration with existing cloud-providers' services.

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project
The goal of the SPEC project is to develop novel techniques and methods for secure multiparty computation protocols (MPC), which will in turn enable large scale MPC applications by providing more realistic security, privacy and efficiency properties. The main idea behind the project is that in order to design the next generation of MPC protocols we have to take a step back and rethink the entire “MPC Stack” i.e.: The System Layer, The Cryptographic Layer and The Application Layer.

The product solves the challenge of the EU Digital Identity Wallet where the user is in complete control of the activation of their data by consent and privacy-preserving computations, enabling controlled use of data on the internet and other digital platforms.
This is a challenging coordination job that involves many stakeholders with diverse incentives and interests and naturally calls for a neutral coordinator. This neutral coordinator is required to be trusted with private information, ensuring immutable data, compliance and availability at all times. Mark Medum Bundgaard, Chief Product Officer, Partner
Central to the Partisia Decentralised Identity (using the Partisia Platform) is the ability for any individual to use their verified identity data in a self-sovereign manner while minimizing the privacy loss related to this usage.
The goal of the Partisia Decentralised Identity is to connect people (and things) with trustworthy verifiable attributes and other verifiable information. The trustworthy information comes from multiple verifiable sources such as the issuer of driver’s licenses or education certificates. Mark Medum Bundgaard, Chief Product Officer, Partner
This software will make it possible to create a Wallet, where the user can provide “need to know” information about themselves, such as “above 18”, “Vaccinated” or “Citizen of a given country” etc. without the user losing control over their own data. The transparent and trustworthy conversion of the detailed Verifiable Credentials into “need to know” is enabled by the cryptographic tools built into the Partisia Platform.
EU and Japan in a digital partnership
At the end of April, EU introduced their collaboration with Japan on Digital Identity with the main goal of fostering e-commerce, boosting efficiency, and ensuring secure and resilient Digital Infrastructures.
This partnership fits perfectly into the Partisia product within Decentralised Identity where the Partisia Platform allows confidential use of private data linked to a person with consent. The first step of activating My Data is the small pieces of high-quality information that comes with Verifiable Credentials, which are by definition private and can be activated in a privacy-preserving form.

Consider a scenario where all banks can securely share data about transfers, accounts, and transactions without leaking any personal information about their customers. By using multiparty computation technology, The Partisia platform can enable data sharing across different banks in a massive, secure network, preserving individual identities.
This approach not only makes it easier to detect and prevent fraud in real-time, but it also allows for predictive analysis. By leveraging this data, banks can proactively identify potential fraud and money laundering activities before they occur.
Moving away from today's very silo divided bank world, where connecting the dots and mapping the possible fraud and AML is a very tricky and almost impossible job.
In other words: Partisia is making it possible to create a co-called fraud detection map, where all the banks that have been flagged with a ‘possible exposure to fraud’ mark, will be caught before the fraudster has a chance to ”leave with the money” and delete all tracks.
It will be a network/map where all the banks in the network can share their data in a secure and fully protected way, still making it possible to enable and compute on the data.

Partisia My Data Activation
My Data Activation is a GDPR-compliant solution designed to consent use of private data using the Partisia Platform. The auditable consent module activates data directly from the user outside or within organizations.
Central to the Partisia decentralised Identity is the ability for any individual to use their verified identity data in a self-sovereign manner while minimising the privacy loss related to this usage. The user is in complete control of the activation of their data by consent and privacy-preserving computations, enabling controlled use of data on the internet and other digital platforms.
Partisia Platform provides the immutable ledger for publishing and verifying Verifiable Credentials and user consents using cryptographic signatures and proofs on a neutral decentralised network with no single point of trust.
The broader set of My Data is more diverse from health records to vast sensor data that is typically maintained by private service providers or public authorities. The user holds connections to these data sources (Issuers) that can be activated confidentially as illustrated in the My Data Activation model below.
5 Interoperability and regulatory compliance
The Partisia Platform addresses the core objectives across the regulatory regime for digital platforms in the EU. This has been achieved by solving the very basic and ideal properties for neutral decentralised digital infrastructure:
Confidentiality - addresses data protection regulated by GDPR and antitrust regulations.
Integrity - addresses the accountability and transparency regulated by the AI Act, Data Act and Digital Market Act.
Availability - addresses the required resilience and jurisdiction management regulated by Schrems II, NIS2, DORA, Cyber Resilience Act and Financial Data Access.
Apart from the regulatory packages mentioned above, a dedicated package describes the EU requirements for self-sovereign identity solutions, the so-called eIDAS. eIDAS 2.0 was decided politically in April 2024 and awaits final activation (Link). At that time of activation, all EU member states have 24 months to fully implement the requirements and ensure that all EU citizens can use a digital wallet throughout the public and private sectors.
The eIDAS requirements match the properties of the Partisia Platform with the built-in distributed ledger and privacy enhancing technologies. In particular, the regulation is explicit about the GDPR data minimisation principle and the use of neutral ledger technologies e.g.:
It is mandated that when identification is not legally required, the wallet should be able to ensure unlinkability (Article 5a 16b).
It is explicitly stated that the wallets must offer selective disclosure (Recital 15, 59).
Qualified Electronic Ledgers will benefit from being legally considered to be sequentially ordered and immutable (Article 45l).
Both centralised and distributed ledgers must be recognized as compliant and approved ledgers (Recital 68).
The technology implementing the ledger should be environmentally friendly supporting global ESG targets (Recital 68).
Partisia Platform is built with interoperability baked in and as such the core components are compatible with the standards of leading standardisation bodies. In particular, the software is compatible with standards from W3C, OpenID, DIF, and ISO. This allows Partisia decentralised Identity to be used both as a standalone full package or as part of an existing ecosystem.
We expect that the final implementation and standards for the eIDAS 2.0 is a subset of these existing standards. Therefore, Partisia Platform will meet all of the eIDAS 2.0 requirements and to the best of our knowledge the requirements outside of the EU where self-sovereign identity solutions are both required and promoted.
6 Conclusion
The Partisia decentralised Identity is the user centric starting point for identifying and linking digital and physical assets to an individual - across digital platforms from the Internet to any other digital platforms. It is also the starting point for Partisia’s My Data Activation solution that empowers individuals to activate private sensitive data using consent.
Partisia Blockchain functions as a neutral digital platform through a unique combination of a distributed immutable ledger and a distributed encrypted computation network. The ledger provides an accountable and transparent way to publish and use cryptographic proofs and encrypted computations across independent parties. The encrypted computation is a unique approach to data privacy that allows for individual control and privacy while data is put to work in a collaborative work.
This combination of fundamental cryptographic technologies ensures a fully compliant future proof neutral digital platform. It is the same properties that turn the Partisia decentralised Identity into not just a unique neutral identity solution but a starting point for a new user centric data economy for the greater good.
This is just simply amazing work on top of all the other things Partisia team has been building....theres so much and we are still at the start...
Things like MOCCA,ZKDEX, Fiat on/off ramps on MPC wallets,MPC20 tokens and alot more.
Theres no way MPC price can stay this low for much longer.
MPC is easily a multi billion $ project.
Comparing this to other blockchains.....imo there is no comparison...
This is the type of use cases that i would expect from Blockchain 3.0...
This threads main purpose is to learn all about next gen crypto like this....
Alot to read in this post...i tried keeping it as short as i could ....go make some tea, come back then relax and start learning...

What is EUDI?
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eudi-wallet-implementation
EU Digital Identity Wallets
The EU Digital Identity Wallet is designed as a convenient and secure method for European citizens and businesses to authenticate their identity, using their digital ID for both public and private sector interactions. Users can store various digital documents within the wallet, ranging from academic credentials to transportation passes, and use it for signing into private platforms, such as social networks. This approach is more secure and user-friendly than managing numerous passwords.
With a single click, individuals can confidently transmit specific information to verified entities, disclosing only necessary details - like age or nationality -, while withholding additional personal data. This minimizes the risk of personal profiling and grants users sovereignty over personal information, a feat unattainable with tangible documents.
The EU Digital Identity Wallet will facilitate the exchange of information within an individual’s home EU nation, and across other member states.

We have bled enough.....now....
https://x.com/OfficialZenrock/status/1825610994728460665
We're excited to introduce zenBTC, the first app built on Zenrock's dMPC protocol is coming soon.
Centralized, wrapped versions of BTC are the antithesis of Web3. The market needs a truly decentralized alternative to wrapped BTC.
What to expect with zenBTC ⬇
➔ Fully permissionless
➔ 100% backed by BTC
➔ Secured by a distributed MPC system
➔ No single point of failure risk.
Don't compromise on decentralization: Unlock Bitcoin in DeFi with zenBTC. Stay connected for more details to come out soon.
The company has designed a hybrid security model whereby the protocol is secured by its own token and by EigenLayer. Zenrock is “renting the economic security in Ethereum from EigenLayer, giving a purpose to this restaked ether,” Little said.
So Zenrock is another along with BOOL network, working on MPC....
Zenrock is working with Eigenlayer....Eigenlayer work with Blockdaemon and the VP of Blockdaemon is co founder of..............Partisia MPC.
https://www.blockdaemon.com/eigenlayer
Institutions rely on Blockdaemon’s expertise to run large-scale infrastructure for 60+ blockchains. Our proven uptime record and deep understanding of blockchain protocols help keep assets safe while providing reliable node operations.
Blockdaemon was an early infrastructure provider for EigenLayer, actively participating in their Node Operator Working Group and becoming one of the first to support their EigenDA AVS launch.
We are also providing infrastructure for several AVSs to support them in their testnet stage, helping to mature their decentralized infrastructure. We can provide feedback with regards to go-to-market and business model as needed.
https://www.blockdaemon.com/blog/jakob-pagter-vice-president-of-multiparty-computation-at-blockdaemon
Meet Jakob Pagter, VP at Blockdaemon from Denmark, he is renowned in digital security with a PhD from Aarhus University. With 20 years' experience, he's transformed sectors like the Danish Sugar Beet Auction using MPC. Co-founder of Partisia Blockchain, his work, and roles have shaped the digital security landscape.
Back to Zenrock and MPC.....
https://docs.zenrocklabs.io/mpc
Multi-Party Computation
Zenrock's Multi-Party Computation
From the private key controlling the digital assets, Zenrock's MPC protocol generates multiple independent secrets which are then distributed between MPC nodes. While Zenrock does run some MPC nodes by themselves but ultimately most of the nodes on the Zenrock keyring will be run by third parties.
(Partisia will be one of the 3rd parties)
Why MPC is the future
Just as Bitcoin takes the trust out of transactions by removing the third party, MPC can take the trust out of private key management.
But unless the MPC protocol is driven by decentralized consensus, it risks replicating the same security loopholes and settlement delays of centralized private key management.
Consensus-driven MPC liberates digital assets from these problems, setting them free to be securely staked, loaned, or traded in the rapidly growing DeFi ecosystem.
