Writing.

From the Celar team: confidential smart contracts, threshold FHE, protocol economics, and the honest way to make privacy claims.

TRUST MODEL

The key that never exists

Who can decrypt on Celar? No one, ever. The decryption key is born distributed across a 100-seat committee, needs a threshold quorum to act, and refreshes every epoch.

SECURITY

A number you can check

Every chain says it's secure. Celar publishes ℋ = attack cost / value at risk ≥ 2 — a constitutional floor, with every input published and recomputable.

STANDARD

Privacy claims you can check

PF-1 is an open privacy label — which data a protocol hides, from which adversaries, under which assumptions, and what still leaks. Making privacy claims comparable and falsifiable.

EXPLAINER

Prove vs. compute: what ZK and FHE can actually hide

Zero-knowledge proves facts about data you hold; FHE computes on data nobody can read. Why a confidential chain needs both — FHE for state, stealth for recipients, a ZK pool for collusion-proof anonymity.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Introducing Celar

The confidential smart-contract Layer 1: a chain that computes on data nobody can read — threshold FHE, stealth addresses, a ZK shielded pool, and a security metric you can falsify.
