Silent Data becomes the first privacy dedicated to Layer 2 to join the Ethereum superchain
Silent Data, a new Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by the Applied Blockchain, became the first privacy -focused chain to join the superchain, the company said on a Wednesday release.
Built on the OP Stack, the London-based project is designed to let organizations run blockchain applications without exposing sensitive information, combining so-called “programmable privacy” with scalability, performance, and regulation alignment.
The In the stack is the open-source development stack that empowers the optimism blockchain.
“The seizure of the OP stack allows us to combine with a solid and widely adopted layer 2 ecosystem,” the applied Blockchain and CEO founder Adi Ben-Arwan, said in the statement.
A network 1 network is the base layer, or the underlying infrastructure of a Blockchain. Layer 2 Refers to a set of off-chain systems or separate blockchains built on top of layer 1s.
Superchain, an ecosystem of more than 30 layer 2 networks, includes Coinbase, OP Mainnet, Kraken’s ink, Sony’s Soneium, Uniswap’s Unichain, and World Chain.
Quiet data is the first to introduce a privacy wrap, which activates sensitive workloads executed in the chain without losing transparency or composability.
The project recently launched with a library of applications enabled by privacy and has been tested in many industries.
Companies that explore its use include tokeny, an Apex group group, and archax in real-world asset tokenization; Shell in energy trade; and Cryopdp, a subsidiary of DHL Health Logistics, in health care and supply chain management.
Its stack can also be used by other superchain layers 2S or projects looking to deploy their own rollups, which signed a broader move to bring privacy ready to enterprise with blockchain infrastructure, the firm said.
