NuCypher's proxy re-encryption (PRE) service is leveling up. Recently, the demand for access-conditioned content in Web3 has exploded: subscriptions, streaming, private NFTs, NFTs as access tokens, the list goes on. Many of those are building on NuCypher (soon Threshold!) and proxy re-encryption. For example: * Masterfile [https://www.masterfile.co/] is

Timeline tldr; * Proposal deadline: Friday, April 30, at 9am EST (13:00 UTC) * Community Call: Friday, April 30, at 12pm EST (16:00 UTC) * Alignment around final proposal: Wednesday, May 5 * Submission of final proposal for Staker signaling: Monday, May 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first on-chain collaboration [https://blog.nucypher.com/

Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of NuCypher's collaboration with Keep is the upcoming launch of tBTC v2. Bitcoin and DeFi In crypto, BTC is the king. With a network value of >$1 trillion, BTC is the OG cryptoasset and currently has the most mainstream credibility and institutional interest, largely driven

We're excited to announce the release of NuBLS [https://github.com/nucypher/nubls], a BLS signature library that implements threshold protocols like threshold signatures (TSS) and a Proxy Re-Signature (PRS) algorithm designed by NuCypher called Penumbral (paper in-progress). The Python wrapper is installable with pip [https://pypi.org/project/pynubls/

Thank you for participating in the NuCypher WorkLock! In total, 353,913 ETH (>$125M USD equivalent) was locked in the WorkLock smart contract by 2,011 nodes. CoinList escrowed 147,465 ETH on behalf of 3,685 participants and will be running 8 nodes on the network. This result is

The WorkLock is finally here! The WorkLock is NuCypher’s novel network node setup mechanism that will be used to launch the network. It allows participants to temporarily stake ETH in order to receive NU for the exclusive purpose of running a NuCypher network node. Key Details/TLDR * WorkLock escrow

We’re excited to announce a novel experiment: our University Staking Program. This is a strategic agreement with a select group of Computer Science departments and Cryptography labs at eleven universities around the globe. The program accounts for 1.95% of the initial NU token supply, giving the participating universities

Overview Phase 4 will be another trial run of the WorkLock token distribution mechanism with some tweaks and improvements based on our learnings from Phase 3. Once again, you'll contribute Goerli ETH (goETH) in exchange for  stake-locked Goerli NU (goNU) tokens which you can use to run a node and

Phase 1 (Core Staking & Node Operations): Done ✅ Phase 2 (Advanced Staking & Node Operations): Done ✅ Excellent work NuCypherinos! Now, it's time for WorkLock! Overview Phase 3 will be a test run of the WorkLock token distribution mechanism. You'll learn how to contribute Goerli ETH (goETH) in exchange for stake-locked Goerli NU

From January 13 through 17, we engaged Trail of Bits to audit the WorkLock smart contract (along with various smart contract size optimizations). As a reminder, the WorkLock [https://blog.nucypher.com/the-worklock/] is our intended distribution mechanism for the NuCypher token. It provides a way for stakers and node

In 480 BC, at the Battle of Thermopylae [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae], King Leonidas of Sparta rejected the Persian army's demand of surrender, instead challenging Xerxes and his mighty force to "Molon labe," or in English, "Come and take it." This would become a classic

Today, NuCypher enters the home stretch towards our long-awaited mainnet launch.

In February we completed a second round of security audits with Trail of Bits. You can view the full report here (PDF [https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/nucypher-2.pdf] ). This audit focused on our slashing protocol, contract upgrade scheme, and multisig contract. One of Trail of Bits'
