The Interfold operates as an open-source protocol and distributed network designed for confidential coordination. It enables various independent entities to provide private inputs for a joint computation, ensuring that the underlying data remains hidden and control is not centralized under one operator. These computations occur inside Encrypted Execution Environments, known as E3s, generating results that can be verified without disclosing the sensitive inputs used to create them. Use cases encompass sealed-bid auctions, secret ballots, confidential analytics, and other multiparty activities that handle sensitive information.
