Public key cryptography (PKC) is a fundamental technology that is a key enabler to the Internet and the whole client-server paradigm. Without public key cryptography there would be no cryptocurrencies, no online bank accounts, no online retail, etc.

Liquefaction: Privately Liquefying Blockchain Assets

Liquefaction, a wallet platform that challenges the traditional assumption that private keys and assets are controlled solely by individuals. By using trusted execution environments (TEEs), Liquefaction attaches multi-user policies to private keys, allowing cryptocurrency credentials and assets to be rented, shared, or pooled without leaving on-chain traces. This approach can disrupt the security and economic models of various applications, such as DAO voting and airdrops, while also offering benefits like privacy-preserving DAOs and countermeasures to dusting attacks. The authors highlight the need to rethink key and asset ownership models in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. For further details, please check out our Projects Page.
