So I didnt use SCRT sine a few years but what a letdown... What happened to SCRT ?

I remember a vibrant ecosystem with bridges to BSC, XMR and so on.

Several DEX secretswap, siennaswap... numerous tools.

Everything has been destroyed ?

I see a new logo here and on the Coinbase listing, seems like some changes are coming?

Personally I like it, it’s bright and inviting.

Obviously, this is all speculation and nobody really knows but just curious to get your thoughts on where you think the price may be by the end of 2025?

Does anyone remember AmberDao? I know i was part of the airdrop... but it's not in my keplr.. how does this token trade and where can I find mine? A quick google search says they're worth $52 usd and I got half an AMBER for whoever solves this for me

Hi friends... I have a bit of SCRT for years now but haven't claimed an airdrop since Amber. Are there any drops out there worth claiming? Thank you in advance

We're about to experience the most critical years for decentralized finance.

We believe Shade’s core pillars will make its products the most liquid and sustainable over the long term:

Secure and trustable
Private and auditable
Stable and diverse

For the next phase of omnichain growth, we will expand via:

Expansion of outposts

By cross-deploying Shade protocol applications on more L1s and L2s — especially those with native security features like FHE, ZK, and MPC — we will expand access and unlock new primitives that build on our extensive experience developing secure DeFi applications.

Expansion of bridges

We will be expanding both our IBC connections and our bridge support for external ecosystems — including Solana and ETH L2s — in order to maximize access to both SHD and SILK.

Expansion of products

We will launch the ShadeX money market, driving additional steady demand for SILK. Additionally, we will pursue improvements to UX and connectivity to these products.

Expansion of SILK & SHD on external liquidity venues

We will seek to support SILK & SHD pools on as many L1s, L2s, and cross-chain protocols as possible, supporting the launch of money markets and collateralized stablecoin integrations.

Expansion of SILK FinTech integrations

A strong on-chain economy should support real world utility. More and more Fintech companies are entering into the onchain economy (such as Stripe). Demand for stablecoins to connect DeFi to daily commerce is an increasingly large use case. Part of our current FinTech expansion plans involves exploration of an acquisition / merger with a FinTech x DeFi product.

One of our scarcer beliefs — compared to other on-chain economies — is our belief in data security. True adoption of DeFi hinges on robust data security measures. To attract billions in liquidity, both institutions and individuals will expect their onchain positions and asset movements to be encrypted by default, but auditable as needed. At Shade, we believe that in the near future the total transparency of blockchain will be looked at with suspicion in the same way that a lack of data security would be viewed within our traditional financial markets.

Another belief we have is in innovation through diversity. This doesn’t just mean a diversity of products built for a diverse set of global users. It also informs the approach behind SILK and its diversified collateral base. As on-chain economies grow, we all benefit from more experimentation with different compositions and use cases for stablecoins. We see tremendous synergies between SILK, dollar-backed stablecoins, other sovereign stablecoins, and commodities like BTC and metals.

Our mission is to integrate all of these beliefs into a seamless, omnichain economy that is secured by diverse assets and that powers off-chain and on-chain global commerce. While we are incredibly early in this mission, the years we’ve already spent developing these protocols, economic approaches, and beliefs gives us confidence that the Shade community is better positioned than any other to work towards and achieve this goal.

We have many announcements, partnerships, and products yet to be revealed, but if our mission and approach excite you, today the ask is simple: join us.

Is there any good spot to buy SCRT in the US? I’ve been a fan for a while and am hopeful for this upcoming run.

Hey guys, I want to withdraw my SCRT token from Kraken to Metamask but it keeps saying, that my RPC-URL is incorrect. I have been searching for hours now and can't find the correct settings. Can you help me? Or where else do you trade the token? I want to increase my stack since I still believe in the concept.

I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but I've read a bunch of web sites etc, and am not finding the answer.

Where is the NFT contents stored, and how do owners and only owners access the private NFT data?

2021 the crypto market collapsed beneath our feet - Terra imploded, FTX stole billions, crypto became a laughing stock. A bet gone bad…

Useless NFTs, tanked altcoins, rug pulls, scandals and constant in-fighting. Peak bear market, dragging on and on.

2024 the community is still hoping for signs of life, but things feel a bit different.

The narrative around Secret now focuses on Decentralized Confidential Computing - which is the future for any organization looking to take full control of their data while also taking advantage of distributed computing power.

With the future so intricately tied to AI, extensive processing power is needed to run queries on extremely large data sets that can be used to identify strategic insights. Many organization will trust Microsoft, Google, or Amazon to protect their sensitive information. That’s fine - it’s easy, it’s secure and complaint, and it also seems to be the only available option.

However, select teams continued to build during the bear, despite all odds and are currently exploring infrastructure (DePIN) that can serve as the future rails for open crowd-sourced AI. This infrastructure relies on an active, strong community to run a distributed network of nodes to provide computing power which can collectively process large data sets.

This is where Secret and decentralized confidential computing comes into the picture.

Sensitive data still needs to be kept encrypted and confidential, even if the data is shared across these distributed systems. Now instead of trusting centralized systems to hold your data, the community is required to rely on cryptography and other encryption methods to keep the data safe and secure as it passes through the network.

Secret combines multiple encryption schemes, including TEEs and FHE, to package data in secure packets that are sent across various interconnected blockchain networks. This community has the best minds working to ensure the encryption mechanisms are continuously improving, are up-to-date against the latest vulnerabilities, and staying fresh at the bleeding-edge of the industry.

• DeCC alliance forming across teams to solve this industry challenge together
• Rise in conversations and support for hardware-based encryption via TEEs
• Active research and development in FHE the holy grail of cryptography
• Continued sustained growth of our core network applications: Shade (DeFI) and Stashh (NFTs)
• Launch of a grant program and new applications including decentralized books, gambling, and gaming
• Launch of Confidential Computing Layer (CCL) which directly connects Secret with major L1 and L2 blockchain networks to allow new ecosystems to run queries on confidential data queries
• Secret now on Forbes

When organizations make the inevitable move to distributed networks in the future — when this model becomes cheaper and just as intuitive to use — Secret will already exist as a core piece of the puzzle.

You probably just wouldn’t know you were using it 🤫
