Keep Network is a decentralized privacy infrastructure protocol designed to enable the use of private data on public blockchains without exposing that data publicly. It achieves this by using "keeps," which are off-chain containers that securely store encrypted data and allow smart contracts to interact with private information without revealing it on-chain. This approach addresses the challenge of maintaining confidentiality in decentralized applications, especially in DeFi and other public blockchain use cases.

A key product built on Keep Network is tBTC, the first fully decentralized Bitcoin-to-Ethereum bridge. tBTC allows users to tokenize Bitcoin as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, enabling Bitcoin holders to participate in Ethereum DeFi without relying on centralized custodians. The network recently merged with NuCypher to form the Threshold Network, combining their privacy and encryption technologies to enhance security and decentralization.

Keep Network is distinguished by its strong focus on privacy and decentralization, backed by high-grade encryption and audited by leading security firms. Unlike many alternatives, it does not compromise on decentralization or security, making it suitable for applications requiring confidential data handling. The network is supported by top-tier venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Polychain Capital, and Paradigm. Developers can get started by accessing the open documentation and using the Threshold dashboard to mint tBTC or upgrade tokens. The protocol supports governance through community proposals and voting, ensuring ongoing decentralized development.
