Share
In this episode of Tech Talks, Edward Frost, Principal Recruitment Consultant with a specialised focus on Cryptography, is joined by Auryn Macmillan, founder of Gnosis Guild, to explore the future of confidential onchain applications through Encrypted Execution Environments (E3s).

Together, they unpack how this novel approach enables powerful use cases like secret ballots, sealed-bid auctions, and collaborative data analytics.
