Arcium (Formely Elusiv) (ARX)

What is Arcium

Arcium is building something that has never been done before—an encrypted supercomputer, fully decentralized and capable of processing any data while keeping it completely private. Imagine finance, supply chains, defense, the public sector, healthcare, and many more industries being able to compute sensitive information without ever exposing it, unlocking a new era of privacy, security, and trustless collaboration. Powered by cutting-edge cryptography, Arcium will revolutionize AI, Blockchain, and the way data moves across the internet.

Arcium enables data to be fully utilized without ever being exposed—a paradigm shift for the digital world.

• Full Privacy: People, businesses, and entire industries require privacy to function efficiently and securely. Arcium provides full and trustless privacy for users, businesses, and governments of any new or existing application.
• Next-generation applications: Arcium unlocks novel applications across AI, DeFi, DePIN and more. AI models can train on encrypted data, DeFi benefits from private trading (dark pools), lending, and prediction markets, and DePINs achieve secure data management and aggregation—which is just the tip of the iceberg.
• Trustless and Performant: Arcium has achieved significant breakthroughs in leveraging Multi-Party Computation (MPC) for secure and efficient computation over encrypted data. Arcium's decentralized architecture is 10,000x faster than FHE and comes with intuitive developer tools, ensuring adoption readiness.

Arcium was created by the team behind Elusiv, an application-layer zero-knowledge (ZK) privacy protocol based on Solana that sunsetted in March 2024. While building the next phase of the Elusiv stack, a core part of the architecture focused on a privacy-preserving compliance system called ZEUS (Zero-Knowledge Encrypted User Safeguarding). Simply put, ZEUS delivered encrypted computation. We knew the pressing need for privacy and confidentiality across different Web3 verticals, so we decided to focus our resources on generalizing the technology behind ZEUS to enable any on-chain application to leverage encrypted computation.
