SKALE is designed for consumer-grade UX, but many industries also need confidentiality. BITE Protocol adds privacy-first capabilities—encrypted transactions, confidential apps (cApps), and cross-chain privacy—without breaking EVM compatibility.

The Value of Privacy
Privacy unlocks:
- Confidential transactions for businesses and consumers
- Compliance with data protection rules (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
- Competitive advantage by protecting proprietary data
- User safety across finance, healthcare, AI agents, and enterprise workloads
Privacy Challenges on Traditional Blockchains
Public ledgers expose amounts, participants, and intent. That’s incompatible with many real-world use cases and invites MEV and front-running.
How BITE Protocol Solves Privacy
BITE (Blockchain Interoperability and Trustless Execution) delivers:
- Confidential applications (cApps) – Encrypted inputs/state with selective disclosure.
- Trustless execution – Threshold encryption and TEEs secure data without trusted middlemen.
- Cross-chain privacy – Keep data confidential while moving between SKALE Chains and beyond.
- MEV resistance – Encrypt destination and calldata until after finality.
Use Cases Enabled by Privacy
- Confidential AI – Process sensitive features safely.
- Private finance – Hide amounts and intent to prevent MEV.
- Healthcare – Keep patient data private while auditable.
- Supply chain – Protect pricing and partner information.
- Enterprise – Meet compliance without giving up blockchain benefits.
Implementation
- BITE Protocol – Threshold encryption and commit-then-reveal flows.
- Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) – Hardware-backed confidentiality.
- Advanced cryptography – Threshold schemes, encryption, and verifiable randomness.
- Secure messaging – Confidential communication across chains.
