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'

Responding to a need for more stovetop popcorn, verbose hand gestures to explain programming metaphors, and tales of bowling in every state in the union, NuCypher has made the highly questionable and haphazard decision to hire my fellow hendrix [https://github.com/hendrix/hendrix] core developer, former colleague, and increasingly

If privacy-preserving solutions are unaffordable, the security discussion is already a non-starter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the weird world of upgradeable smart contracts (or have we moved to calling them "persistent scripts [https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1051160932699770882]" yet?), three possible patterns form a great majority of implementations: migrations (though these are

We're well into what's been a busy 2019 with many noteworthy events. Here's a recap of what we've been up to in the last couple months: Proposing the WorkLock: As our mainnet launch rapidly approaches, we've spent a lot of time thinking about different token distribution models. In summary we

Last week, I gave a technical deep dive on secure computation at Zero Knowledge Summit [https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/summit] (ZK0X03) in Berlin, where I covered secure multi-party computation (sMPC), trusted execution environments (TEEs), and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). Check out my talk below and the slides here [https://drive.
