FAQs

Is Inco a new blockchain?

No. Inco is not a new blockchain. It provides a confidentiality layer that integrates seamlessly with existing blockchains. Similar to TLS/SSL for the internet, Inco offers a novel encryption layer that developers can opt into for building confidential dapps.

Do I need to understand cryptography to use Inco?

No. Inco abstracts away all the cryptographic complexities. You can simply write your code using familiar smart contract languages like Solidity and use your existing development tools.

Which blockchains does Inco currently support?

Our testnet currently runs on Base Sepolia. We plan to support additional chains in the future.

What's the difference between Inco Lightning and Atlas?

Inco Lightning and Atlas use different underlying technologies. Inco Lightning leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), while Atlas utilizes Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC). Each product provides distinct properties and features. For more detailed information, please refer to our documentation.
