TEN is Ethereum’s privacy Layer 2 enabling “Smart Transparency” through TEE-powered programmable privacy, bringing institution-grade encryption, verifiable randomness, confidential computing, and MEV-free execution to unlock new applications across gaming, DeFi, AI, and finance.
TEN utilizes Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) as its core infrastructure component. TEEs provide hardware-based privacy that shields smart contract logic, state, and transaction data from external observers, including node operators. This technology creates what TEN classifies as “confidential rollups,” combining optimistic rollup performance with privacy guarantees.
TEN is the native utility token used for:
TEN’s architecture encrypts transactions at the wallet level before network submission. Transaction details, including balances and participant addresses, remain hidden until revelation occurs according to developer-defined rules. Smart contracts execute within TEE environments while maintaining Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility.
