keeping users' information and digital assets private

Threshold (T)

Threshold Network is a tool to enable users to keep their information and digital assets private when using a public blockchain. NuCypher and Keep, two networks in the same space, have launched the first-ever on-chain merger of two decentralized networks with the shared goal of safeguarding users' sovereignty on public blockchain networks using Threshold cryptography. Keep networks' infrastructure and NuCypher's privacy capabilities will ensure users can keep their digital assets secure and private.

Empowering Privacy and Decentralization through Cryptography

Introduction

Threshold is a decentralized network that provides cryptographic primitives to decentralized applications (dApps), enabling privacy, access control, and cross-chain interoperability. It emerged from the merger of Keep Network and NuCypher, combining their expertise to enhance user sovereignty and data privacy on public blockchains.

History

In March 2021, Keep Network and NuCypher proposed an on-chain merger, codenamed "KEaNU," to unify their protocols and communities. The merger was approved by both communities in June 2021, leading to the launch of Threshold Network in January 2022. This marked the first-ever on-chain merger in the crypto space, aiming to provide robust privacy solutions and decentralized infrastructure.
