CELAR — PRESS BOILERPLATE
=========================

Seen by no one. Verified by everyone.

Short (about 50 words)
----------------------
Celar is the confidential smart-contract Layer 1. Balances, amounts, and
contract state live under protocol-level threshold FHE — encrypted by
default, verifiable by anyone. Standard Solidity, standard wallets, zero
new opcodes. The decryption key never exists: it lives only as shares
across a 100-seat committee.

Standard (about 100 words)
--------------------------
Celar is an EVM-equivalent Layer 1 blockchain where confidentiality is the
protocol's data plane, not an application add-on. Contract state, balances,
and transfer amounts are encrypted under threshold fully homomorphic
encryption (FHE): the network computes on data no one can read, and
decrypting anything requires 79 of 100 independent key-committee seats —
every partial decryption signed, attributable, and slashable. Payments land
on fresh stealth addresses, and a ZK shielded pool offers privacy that
holds even if every validator colludes. Celar publishes what it hides and
what still leaks — a full leakage matrix, and a live, falsifiable
protocol-health metric at celar.network/health.
