What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Genuinely live on Ethereum mainnet with real transactions, a real institutional OTC trade, and a 25k-star OSS framework — but ~20 tps and per-op decryption costs make it unfit for high-volume/latency-sensitive flows. Strong fit for low-volume, high-confidentiality use; wrong tool for throughput.
Next
Run a non-critical testnet pilot — e.g. a confidential trust-signal or sealed-bid mechanism — measuring per-op gas cost and the threshold-MPC trust assumptions before any value flow; review the patent-license terms before any commercial deployment.
