Native, the zero trust Bitcoin platform, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Secret Network, a blockchain that provides decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) for Web3. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing privacy-preserving technologies for multi-chain DeFi for Bitcoin and sets a new standard for privacy and security in the decentralized finance space.

A Milestone for Multi-Chain DeFi for Bitcoin with Privacy

‍

Through this partnership, Native will integrate with Secret Network to empower developers to build DeFi applications that not only operate Bitcoin natively across multiple chains, but also prioritize user privacy. By leveraging Secret Network’s unique capabilities for encrypted computations, Native will enhance its offering, enabling the creation of natively multi-chain DeFi applications that are private by design, ensuring that sensitive user data remains confidential throughout every interaction.

‍

What Native Brings to the Table

‍

Native is a groundbreaking technology that provides developers with unprecedented control over native Bitcoin and the ability to enforce logic across any network. Using cryptographic signatures, Native ensures that operations performed by its technology are indistinguishable from those of regular users from a network perspective. This approach not only facilitates programmability across traditionally non-smart contract networks like Bitcoin but also adheres to the core Web3 principles of decentralization and user ownership.

What Secret Network Brings to the Table

‍

Secret Network provides decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) for Web3. Smart contracts on Secret are able to have encrypted inputs, outputs, and state, enabling the protection of sensitive data and unlocking powerful new capabilities for dApps. Secret is able to provide confidential computing to dApps running directly on the Secret blockchain, as well as dApps running on other blockchains like Native through cross-chain communication. This means that any dApp built on Native will be able to integrate confidentiality features. 

‍

Lisa Loud, Executive Director of the Secret Network Foundation, expressed her enthusiasm, saying:

By partnering with Native, we are poised to redefine security and privacy for Bitcoin DeFi. Applications on Secret Network will be able to access Bitcoin in a secure and privacy-preserving manner. At the same time, applications on Native will gain access to decentralized confidential computing, unlocking exciting new capabilities.

‍

Robert, Co-Founder of Native, shared his thoughts on the partnership, stating:

This collaboration with Secret Network is not just a technical integration; it represents a shared vision for a more secure and private decentralized world. Our combined technologies will set a new standard for privacy and security in DeFi, offering developers the tools they need to innovate without compromising on privacy.

‍

As the blockchain landscape continues to evolve, the partnership between Native and Secret Network underscores both organizations' commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in DeFi, with a strong focus on enhancing user privacy and security across the ecosystem.

‍

What’s Next?

With this integration, developers building on Native and Secret Network can create sophisticated, privacy-preserving multi-chain applications that combine the best of both worlds: programmable Bitcoin and confidential computing. For example, a DEX on Secret Network could enable confidential swaps with Native Bitcoin. Or, a Bitcoin DAO on Native could enable private voting through Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer.
