Secret (SCRT) is a privacy-oriented blockchain built on Cosmos. Its smart contracts are called Secret Contracts and allow DApps to use private data on Secret, similar to how smart contracts operate on other blockchains. However, Secret Contracts transfer encrypted inputs into encrypted outputs without exposing data. This is made possible thanks to the encrypted contract states during the execution. Secret was founded by the Secret Foundation, an organization dedicated to the adoption of decentralized technologies with a focus on privacy. Data privacy is guaranteed by combining encryption protocols and key management within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
