About

Inco (short for Incognito) is the universal confidentiality layer of Web3, powered by fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and secured by Ethereum, enabling the development of next-frontier decentralized applications (dApps), providing confidentiality to existing blockchains and breaking down the final barrier to Web3 adoption at scale.

Utilize our cutting-edge FHE (fully homomorphic encryption) tech to deploy confidential smart contracts with our fhEVM (FHE + EVM). Solidity knowledge is all you need, as our fhEVM streamlines the cryptography complexities.

Inco confidential computing facilitates many primitives game developers can leverage on-chain: (Confidential Randomness, Dynamic Information Revelation, Fog of War, Encrypted Strategy Execution).
We’re excited to see what use cases you come up with while utilizing on-chain confidentiality from complex strategy games (e.g., StarCraft, Civilization) with fair, simple mini-games (Mafia game, Battleship, Hangman, Geoguesser), and hidden mechanics to games of chance (e.g. Poker, Loot Boxes, Gacha Games) with enhanced security and manipulation resistance.

Qualification Requirements

To complete this prize, the smart contract needs to be deployed on Inco Testnet, and the smart contract code has to be functional and complete.
The projects will be judged based on completeness (bonus if there’s a UI), creativity, and clever utilization of confidentiality and/or randomness to enable use cases that aren’t feasible on regular EVMs.
Submission should include:
- List of team members
- Short description of project and components leveraging FHE
- Video — project intro & overview (1-2 minutes)
- Video — project demo (5min max)
- GitHub
- Clickable demo (optional)

Inco confidential computing facilitates a whole new dAPP design space on-chain with seamless developer experience.
We’re excited to see the possibility of web 2 businesses replicable in web3 contexts with on-chain confidentiality. Confidential ERC-20s enable new interactions with existing paradigms of DeFi (private AMM, money market, flashloan), web3 infrastructures (decentralized identity, private on-chain voting, auctions, social betting, data marketplaces), as well as businesses to be built on-chain (private payroll, token vesting and cap tables).
