Analysis: The DeCC sector has raised over $1 billion in total funding, addressing the critical encryption needs faced by data in use within Blockchain systems.

Odaily News Messari released a research report, which pointed out that the decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) field is experiencing a rapid rise, with projects in this field having cumulatively secured over 1 billion dollars in venture capital. This influx of capital reflects the industry’s growing interest in DeCC technology, with teams focusing on practical application integration and infrastructure development for developers. DeCC achieves private computation and state by introducing the capability to protect data privacy while maintaining the inherent transparency of public blockchains, without sacrificing decentralization. This technology addresses key vulnerabilities faced by data in use within traditional and blockchain systems by integrating cryptographic tools such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Garbled Circuits (GC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with authentication, enabling encrypted computation without exposing plaintext. With the influx of capital, DeCC is moving from theory to practical deployment and is expected to become the standard layer of the decentralization technology stack, supporting secure and trustless applications that were previously unattainable on public infrastructure.
