The Keep Primer
Killing private blockchains
Killing private blockchains
This week we’re launching our Keep Business Primer, a working document to showcase market and use cases for Keep that goes beyond the whitepaper. Inside you’ll learn about token mechanics, more about the team, and we’ll give you some background into how Keep makes privacy on the public Ethereum blockchain possible for smart contracts.
Important to note: this is a working document so keep an eye on our blog, twitter, website, and join in the conversation on Slack for important updates and revisions. We look forward to hearing from you!
A little background to get you started:
As powerful as it is, the Ethereum blockchain does a bad job of protecting privacy. Anything developed and shared on the public blockchain exposes any and all private and sensitive data. This makes it incredibly difficult to use the full power of the blockchain to build decentralized apps (dApps) in fields that interact with sensitive data.
By providing a link between dApps and private data, Keep makes it possible to build new marketplaces, create smart contracts that execute estate plans and trusts, create cross-chain exchanges, and so much more. These new possibilities, among many others that haven’t been thought of yet, will be able to fully interact with private data without publishing it to the blockchain.
