There are plenty of services across the Web3 space that claim decentralization. When you dig in, you’ll find that the essential decryption keys effectively are held by either one entity or a small permissioned set of entities.
so sad that my product experiences with @StoryProtocol and @selfprotocol didn't work onsite for account create-ups and beta users. I'm super hyped to use them both. @ThresholdAC playground was the most inspiring 💫
Incredibly, ETHDenver will have two kinds of tacos. 🌮The kind you eat while hacking. 🔐The kind that is a decentralized encrypt/decrypt API for all dApps handling non-public data. We strongly recommend both. TACo is bringing the API and free tacos to the No Cap, All dApps hackathon alongside @Zuzalu_city Win up to $3K for integrating TACo in your build.

We’re excited to share that Textile and @3BoxLabs are merging companies to build intelligence infrastructure for AI! Two pioneering teams in decentralized data joining forces to co-create an open network for multi-agent intelligence. Massive! 🧵 (1/11) coindesk.com/business/2025/…
In yet another pioneering development, we introduce the first Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremony to hold a TEE’s root key amongst 30 nodes in collaboration with @buildwithtaco TLDR. root keys of AI agents are now secured by not just 3, 5 or 7 but 30 nodes 🤯
Threshold Access Control x Marlin Decentralized compute needs decentralized back-ups. When TEEs go down, that could mean the irreversible loss of all data encrypted with its private keys – e.g. a model's training weights, an orderbook's unfulfilled trades, or sensitive end-user data. From today, mainnet TACo nodes will independently enforce conditional access to TEE root keys, abiding by a 16-of-30 threshold. This is a first-of-its-kind layering of distinct trust-minimizing technologies, combining enclaves + remote attestations + a battle-tested, cryptoeconomically-secured network of nodes executing cryptographic primitives.
