TEN in Web3

The full Litepaper is available to view here.

Overview

TEN Protocol is a next-generation, Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 rollup that brings programmable privacy, AI-native design, and shared encrypted state to smart contracts. By combining Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with encrypted EVM transactions, TEN introduces a new primitive: the confidential rollup — enabling developers to build trustless applications with data access controls, private logic, and autonomous agents.

TEN reclaims the critical Web2 feature Web3 left behind: privacy with permissioning. This unlocks entire categories of applications previously impossible on-chain — like private messaging, hidden game logic, confidential trading strategies, and collaborative AI agents.

Core Technology​

  • Confidential Rollups
    A new rollup architecture that merges the scalability of optimistic rollups with privacy guarantees.

  • Encrypted EVM
    Smart contracts execute inside TEEs, shielding logic, inputs, and state from all observers — even node operators.

  • Encrypted Transactions
    Wallets encrypt transaction data before submission. Decryption occurs only under programmable rules.

  • Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
    Hardware-isolated enclaves trusted by hyperscalers, banks, and AI leaders — now used to run encrypted smart contracts and agents on-chain.

  • Smart Transparency
    Developers control what data is public, private, or time-delayed — supporting selective disclosure and compliance.

Data Revelation​

Confidentiality on your terms:

  • Programmable disclosure (time-based or conditional)
  • Full control over visibility windows
  • Optional perpetual privacy via governance
