Web3 increasingly faces one major challenge: how to build applications where user data stays private while still running on familiar blockchains. Balances, game states, voting results - all of this must remain hidden from outsiders, yet still be available for computation and verification.

Inco Network makes it possible to add privacy to dApps without changing the underlying blockchain or writing complex cryptographic algorithms yourself.

With Inco, developers can use the smart contracts they already know, while also gaining the ability to work with private data. The Lightning and Atlas tools enable computations on confidential information. All of this is handled through libraries and SDKs, so developers don’t need deep knowledge of cryptography.

Inco Architecture

To make private computation as simple as possible for developers, Inco uses an architecture built from several key components that work together while remaining compatible with existing

EVM blockchains:

• Smart Contract Library - a set of tools that enables private data types (euint, ebool, eaddress) directly in smart contracts.
• Confidential Compute Nodes - nodes that perform private computations on encrypted data.
• Decryption Nodes + Callback Relayer - a subsystem that collects decrypted results and delivers them back to smart contracts through a callback, enabling asynchronous and secure data disclosure.
• Client-side JavaScript Library - allows frontends to work safely with private data by encrypting requests and processing results.

These components make working with private data as simple as working with regular data, without configuring complex cryptography manually.

Benefits

• - The ability to create private tokens, private DeFi, games, voting systems, and more.
• - Simple integration with existing projects.
• - Privacy built into SDKs and libraries, without complex cryptography.
• - TEE and MPC reduce the risk of node compromise and protect data at every stage.

Inco easily integrates with existing projects and blockchains, enabling private applications without changing the infrastructure. There is no need to rewrite the blockchain, run your own nodes, or deal with low-level cryptography.

Confidential NFTs, private game states, private financial instruments, secure handling of personal data - and much more become possible with Inco. The SDK encrypts data and sends it to the Inco network, where nodes process the information and return results for use in smart contracts or on the client side.

Inco turns complex data-protection tasks into a simple and secure process, unlocking new possibilities for private Web3 applications where users can trust the safety of their data, and developers can enjoy easy integration.
