Trust, the cornerstone of any relationship, holds profound significance in our interconnected world. Whether it be interpersonal, inter-corporate, or even between governments, trust is the linchpin upon which successful relationships are built. Partisia Blockchain, in its essence, is a catalyst for redefining trust in the digital realm.
“The art of enabling trust within an inherently untrusting environment.”
But how does Partisia Blockchain achieve this monumental feat?
The importance of trust is a concept we can all readily grasp. Yet, the question arises – what facilitates trust among entities? A critical factor in this equation is privacy. Trust cannot manifest in a realm of complete anonymity. However, it also cannot thrive in a domain of absolute transparency. The sweet spot lies in a harmonious blend of both, where transparency and privacy coexist to cultivate trust.
Consider a simple scenario: applying for a credit card. A bank, to grant you this privilege, requires crucial information about you – your identity, income, contact details, and credit history. These details are essential for the bank to extend its trust in you. However, if you knew that these details would be made public, including your transaction history, your willingness to apply for that credit card would understandably wane.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that privacy is the very bedrock upon which trust is constructed.
In our credit card example, you enter a trusted environment where you bestow your trust upon the credit card company to safeguard your personal data. The company is, of course, bound by its business model to keep the sanctity of this trust. However, there is an underlying vulnerability here – data breaches, unauthorized sales, or inadvertent data exposure. These are potential avenues through which your trust can be shattered. In such cases, you are placing trust in the environment.
On the other hand, a trustless environment requires no implicit trust in any single entity but still manages to perform necessary functions seamlessly. Enter the decentralized blockchain, a prime example of an environment where trust in an entity is unnecessary. Here, blocks are formed, and information is inscribed on the ledger without a single entity having dominion over the system. The laws of physics exemplify another trustless environment – they exist without needing trust because the system is transparent, having been measured and documented, and accessible to all for independent confirmation.
Partisia Blockchain ingeniously fuses these concepts to tackle the trust predicament. It enables two entities to work together within a trusted framework, devoid of any single entity’s control. The synergy of multiparty computation (MPC) and blockchain technology underpins this innovation.
MPC, a revolutionary technology, permits the computation of confidential data. It functions as an encryption technology, allowing input values to remain hidden while still computing answers. It empowers us to calculate the sum of 2 and 3 without revealing the original values. Envisaged in the late 1970s and officially introduced in 1988, MPC boasts an illustrious history, with over a thousand research papers and 15 years of practical implementation.
In parallel, blockchain, the other keystone of Partisia Blockchain, has been redefined to its very core. Through our distinctive BYOC tokenomics principles and an infinitely scalable architecture, we make trust in a trustless environment a reality for all – not just for those building on our platform.
By converging these two technologies, Partisia Blockchain democratizes trust within a trustless domain. This manifests as a wealth of opportunities: companies collaborating without exposing their confidential data, creating equitable, private, and accurate voting systems, returning control of data to users, and enabling monetization of data. In the heart of Partisia Blockchain’s mission lies the potential to revolutionize business models and unveil novel value propositions.
At Partisia Blockchain, our journey is guided by over 35 years of relentless dedication to encryption technology. Our Chief Cryptographer, Ivan Damgård, the mastermind behind the Merkle–Damgård Construct, which underpins renowned hash algorithms like MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-2. His groundbreaking work in the 1980s laid the foundation for secure multiparty computation (sMPC), and today, this profound expertise empowers us to champion the most advanced sMPC protocol globally.
Our mission is to redefine the very essence of trust, forging a fresh perspective on how data is employed. To bring this vision to life, we had to excel not only in sMPC but also reimagine the architecture of public blockchains.
Secure multiparty computation is an encryption marvel that permits data computation without revealing the underlying data itself. Imagine a sophisticated dance of algorithms that enables outcomes like auctions, data analysis, voting, surveys, and random number generation without divulging the precious data within.
The blockchain ecosystem grapples with two pressing challenges: interoperability and scalability. From an interoperability standpoint, every blockchain acts as a unique asset class, fueling a competitive zero-sum game mentality. Each Layer 1 blockchain claims supremacy, leading to a winner-takes-all narrative. Furthermore, users are bound to a specific blockchain, having to acquire and use that particular token as an entry ticket, reminiscent of an amusement park experience.
On the scalability front, the single-database nature of blockchains poses hurdles related to both scalability and transaction speed. Overloaded blockchains often suffer from delayed transaction confirmations and a lack of real-time efficiency.
To fulfill our visionary goals, we realized the need for a groundbreaking re-architecture of blockchain technology.
In an environment where blockchain networks resemble amusement parks, we introduce a paradigm shift. Rather than being confined to one park’s rides, our mission is to let anyone access our innovations, irrespective of their token holdings. We have engineered a system that embraces tokens with liquidity, allowing them to serve as transaction payments within our ecosystem. Our BYOC tokenomics foster a vibrant ecosystem where different token types can facilitate transactions, ensuring all users can harness our sMPC technology. Our native MPC token, in turn, bolsters our blockchain’s security, as node operators stake their tokens as collateral, safeguarding our network.
Traditional blockchains grapple with scalability issues, impeding real-time finalization and usability during high traffic. Partisia Blockchain confronts this challenge head-on by adopting a revolutionary approach. We have re-engineered the traditional method, enabling horizontal scaling and boasting a rapid .3-second finalization time in normal conditions. Our network comprises multiple blockchains, each autonomously producing blocks, creating an unparalleled scalability model. Moreover, our unique BFT consensus mechanism ensures “speed of light” finalization. For in-depth insights into this architecture, refer to our yellow paper.

In the ever-evolving landscape of regulations, a multitude of rules and safeguards has emerged, from antitrust laws to data protection rights, designed to uphold ethical standards and protect individuals from exploitation in a rapidly changing world. However, the blockchain industry, despite its transformative potential, faces a notable gap in regulatory compliance and ethical conduct, owing to its inherent transparency and anonymity.
Partisia Blockchain emerges as the vanguard of change, offering innovative solutions that bridge this gap and establish a new paradigm of integrity in business.
Illustrating GDPR compliance
One of the most prominent and far-reaching regulations in the realm of data privacy is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR, along with similar laws worldwide, dictates the governance of personal and sensitive data, with a key requirement that such data remains within a specific geographical region. This presents a formidable challenge for traditional blockchains, given their inherent transparency and the global distribution of nodes.
Partisia Blockchain, however, is uniquely attuned to regulatory requirements. We have introduced a pioneering feature known as “jurisdiction management” into our system. This remarkable capability empowers users to designate data that must remain within nodes situated in a specific jurisdiction. By leveraging secure multiparty computation (MPC), developers can selectively privatize data, ensuring compliance with stringent data privacy laws while preserving the integrity of the blockchain.
In the realm of corporate governance and shareholder meetings, stringent rules exist to ensure the fairness and impartiality of votes. Maintaining the confidentiality of individual votes is paramount. However, traditional blockchain voting mechanisms, as seen in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), suffer from complete transparency, making it challenging to protect voter privacy. Existing techniques to privatize votes often stumble due to scalability constraints or the inadvertent revelation of votes after the tally.
Partisia Blockchain introduces a game-changing solution through secure MPC, allowing computation of vote results without disclosing the specifics of individual votes on the blockchain. This innovative approach guarantees an immutable voting record, upholding the highest securities standards while preserving voter anonymity. It is a trustless system that harmonizes blockchain technology with compliance, setting new standards for ethical conduct.
Partisia Blockchain stands as the vanguard of a revolution in the blockchain industry, where privacy and compliance are not just buzzwords, but integral components of the ecosystem. Our solutions transcend the limitations of transparency and anonymity, offering a bridge to ethical and regulatory compliance.
In this rapidly evolving business landscape, where rules and regulations shape the playing field, trust in blockchain technology is not just a vision; it is a reality. Embrace Partisia Blockchain, and unlock the future of ethical, compliant, and privacy-respecting business practices. It is time to redefine the rules and raise the standard of ethical conduct in your organization.
