Tangle Network Overview
The Tangle Network is a specialized platform engineered to support and govern cross-chain Zero-Knowledge (ZK) applications. Leveraging the robust Substrate blockchain framework, the Tangle Network forms the core infrastructure to facilitate a new generation of privacy-enhancing and governance-decentralized applications.
The Tangle Network's unique offering centers around the intersection of cross-chain functionality, advanced governance systems, and the world of ZK applications. Our network seamlessly merges these distinct elements, creating an ecosystem that amplifies the strengths of each component.
Powering Cross-chain ZK Applications
The primary objective of the Tangle Network is to cater to cross-chain ZK applications, offering a tailored environment for their operation and governance. Our network transcends traditional chain boundaries, providing a highway for these advanced applications to interact, exchange data, and perform seamlessly across different blockchain networks.
Built on Substrate (opens in a new tab)
The Tangle Network is built on the Substrate, an advanced blockchain framework that grants us flexibility, robustness, and cutting-edge features. This strategic choice ensures that our platform stays ahead in terms of speed, security, and scalability, proving to be a reliable backbone for our network.
With Unprecedented Governance
Our innovative threshold signature system (TSS) based governance model sets us apart. It's a type of multi-party computation (MPC) scheme that is a cryptographically secure process to ensure the integrity and authenticity of operations within our network. The TSS-based governance model is capable of effectively managing, maintaining, and safeguarding the cross-chain ZK applications in our ecosystem.
Test Networks
Currently, the alpha release of Tangle Network is available for testing and experimental use.
Use Cases
Connected Shielded Pool Protocols
Powers the ability to privately move and transfer assets between blockchains.
Connected Shielded Identity Protocols
Create identities and connect groups between blockchains.
General Messaging Passing & Public Bridges
Capable of enabling public/plaintext cross-chain use cases. Providing efficiency, and security through the use of a TSS MPC that rotates frequently.
Oracle Systems and Data Feeds
Leverage the Webb TSS DKG to sign payloads from data feeds for financial, identity, and other applications
