That’s right — straight to the corridors of power, where progress can have a positive impact on the lives of millions of Americans.

eERC20: The New Standard for Onchain Privacy

Blockchain has always walked the line between privacy and transparency. While wallet addresses provide a level of anonymity, the public nature of the ledger means transactions can be traced and analyzed.

How do we solve this problem for platforms that want to retain the transparency of blockchain while maintaining privacy? Enter: eERC20, developed by AvaCloud. This new encrypted token, built for the Avalanche ecosystem, gives developers a tool that enables them to build with transparency in mind, without jeopardizing privacy. Built on zero-knowledge proofs and other methods of encryption, eERC20 protects sensitive data while enabling the development of decentralized apps on public blockchains.

Interchain Messaging allows Avalanche L1s to send messages, transfer tokens, and share data without leaving the network. The result? A force multiplier for the network. Independent, decentralized blockchains that are also able to connect and create one powerful ecosystem.
