Secret Network
Secret Network is a layer-1 blockchain with privacy-preserving smart contracts, using trusted execution environments (TEEs) to enable encrypted inputs, outputs, and state for decentralized applications. Built on the Cosmos SDK, it supports confidential DeFi, private NFTs, access-controlled data, and cross-chain privacy via IBC and bridges to Ethereum and other networks. Recent additions include SecretVM on AMD SEV-SNP hardware and Secret AI, a confidential compute layer for GPU-based large language model workloads running inside verifiable TEEs.

Overview
Secret Network is a Cosmos-based layer-1 blockchain that pioneered encrypted smart contracts by executing them inside trusted execution environments. Data inputs, contract state, and outputs remain confidential by default, enabling private DeFi, sealed-bid auctions, access-gated content, and confidential computation. It connects to other ecosystems through IBC and cross-chain bridges and is extending its TEE stack to GPU workloads via SecretVM and Secret AI.
Key Features
- Encrypted smart contracts executed inside Intel SGX-based trusted execution environments
- SecretVM on AMD SEV-SNP hardware for broader confidential compute coverage
- Secret AI for running large language models inside verifiable TEEs
- Cosmos SDK foundation with IBC connectivity and bridges to external chains
- Native SCRT token for staking, governance, and transaction fees
