Confidential applications with Enclave's encrypted execution

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).

 

The conversation traces Auryn’s unique journey from professional basketball to building cryptographic infrastructure, and dives into Enclave, a protocol that combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), and Multi-Party Computation (MPC). Together, they unpack how this novel approach enables powerful use cases like secret ballots, sealed-bid auctions, and collaborative data analytics.
