Secret Network is the first blockchain with data privacy by default, allowing you to build and use applications that are both permissionless and privacy-preserving. This unique functionality protects users, secures applications, and unlocks hundreds of new use cases for Web 3.
Smart contracts are self-executing pieces of code that are managed on a blockchain. Most blockchains that support smart contracts, such as Ethereum, are public by default. This means all the data used in their smart contracts is exposed to the public. Secret Network improves upon traditional smart contracts by supporting encrypted inputs, encrypted outputs, and encrypted state for smart contracts – data privacy for sensitive information stored on the blockchain.
