This page will provide resources for an in-depth understanding of what is Fairblock and its mission to power incorruptible market and machines and how it all works
Thesis
Fairblock is building confidentiality layer for open finance. Open finance cannot scale by enforcing transparency. Without confidentiality real world assets, institutions, and businesses will never fully come onchain. Fairblock provides programmable confidentiality and end-to-end applications with dynamic confidential computing, eliminating information leakage.
The result: encrypted payments, faster checkouts, manipulation-free markets, and better pricing
Why Fairblock
- Product-first: cApps run on FairyRing for performance and security, then are made accessible from other ecosystems to meet users where they are. Distribution flows into Fairblock cApps.
- Multimodal cryptography: Dynamic confidentiality selects the right cryptographic schemes per use case (HE, IBE, MPC, lightweight ZK, etc.) to maximize performance and security without unnecessary overhead.
- Private by default. Built-in compliance support: Sensitive values are encrypted by default. Authorized parties can receive selective, per-transaction access when required (audit, AML, disputes). No blanket surveillance of the entire transaction history. Designed for regulated flow and compatible with post-execution selective disclosure (OFAC, FinCEN, MiCA friendly)
- Onchain verification, not black boxes: Correctness and validity are verified onchain. Single-TEE or opaque off-chain coprocessor/relayer designs are intentionally avoided to minimize trust assumptions and security risks.
- Performance for everyday payments and DeFi: The lightest scheme that meets requirements is chosen to avoid one-size-fits-all overkill approaches. This results in no multi-minute proofs on the client side and low computation fees.
Core Focus
Confidential Stablecoin
Financial activity is private by default in the real world. No one broadcast what they pay a merchant or supplier. Employers don't publish salaries. Traders don’t reveal position size in the middle of a trade. Treasuries don’t expose how much cash is left. On public blockchains, all of that is transparent by design: payment amounts, wallet balances, timing, and even trading strategies are public for anyone to see. That’s exactly the kind of exposure banks, SWIFT, and policy bodies have been sounding alarm about.
When financial data leaks, it creates problems:
- Competitors can see your volume, pricing, margins, and runway
- Traders and bots can frontrun and copy your strategy
- Attackers can map and target high-value wallets
- You can run into legal and regulatory trouble because you failed to protect sensitive information about employees, customers, and partners
Confidential Stablecoin Powered by Fairblock
Fairblock turns stablecoin payments and transfers confidential by default. Amounts and balances are encrypted while addresses stay transparent. This combination lets you:
