The privacy meta has a face
Most people come into Arcium without knowing who is actually steering the encrypted supercomputer on Solana.
This is your Arcium CEO in one scroll
. @yrschrade is a German computer scientist and entrepreneur, now CEO & Co Founder of Arcium, building decentralized confidential computing on Solana.
He cares about privacy and systems, not just tokens.
Why this guy is different -
Grew up obsessed with 1984 style privacy questions and learned to code by modding video games.
Studied Law, then Computer Science and Mathematics at TUM, so he actually understands both regulation and hard math.
Built shiftscreen, an iPad productivity app with 100k+ paying users and Wall Street Journal coverage before touching crypto.
What he's building now:
. @Arcium (ex Elusiv) aims to be an encrypted supercomputer for AI, finance and healthcare – using MPC and other crypto to compute on data without exposing it.
He also co founded ZKurve AG, working on MPC, ZK and encryption in the "traditional" world.
Why this matters for <encrypted> chads:
This isn't a degen experiment - its led by someone who has actually shipped products at scale.
His focus is long term privacy infra (private AI, private DeFi, encrypted registries), not short term airdrop hype.
Before you do RTGs or quote Arcium, at least know the builder behind it.
It's easier to commit to an encrypted future when you've actually met the brain running the supercomputer.
wave 2 eligibility is out
but i'm still on seeker despite my efforts in wave 2
it hurts me that i was still in same level as some new comer despite full efforts for nearly 2 year
anyways my support for @Arcium will not stop
congratulations to all eternals, ascendants, builders and seekers
you'll are <encrypted> now☂️
What a launch, right? 🦺
ZINC is less than 24H old and already crushing it:
> 1,100 new miners joined
> 4,400+ SOL deployed into mines
> Current circulating supply: 126,000+
> $3,450,000+ in trading volume
> 39,000+ encrypted computations on @arcium and counting
ZINC IT ⚡️
barry is right
but i want to address something
most privacy projects that exist today solve one problem
they hide a transaction
or they hide a balance
or they hide a sender
pick one and that's your product
and imo what @Arcium is building is a different category entirely
it's not "hide this specific thing"
it's compute on encrypted data at the infrastructure level so nothing is ever exposed in the first place
every app that runs on Arcium gets privacy by default
not as a feature you toggle on
not as a workaround you route through
as the base layer of how the computation works
. @UmbraPrivacy hides your wallet transactions
. @stealf_finance hides your financial identity
. @anon0mesh lets you transact without internet or infrastructure
all of them running on the same encrypted compute foundation
the privacy era Barry is talking about is real
but most people will spend it building point solutions
arcium is building the layer that all of them eventually run on
that's not a privacy product
that's privacy infrastructure
and there's a big difference
