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? Only a threshold quorum of committee seats, acting together. The key is born distributed, and we publish what a colluding coalition could do.

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.

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.
