The Interfold is a distributed network for confidential coordination.
It enables independent parties to produce shared, verifiable outcomes from private inputs without pooling data, exposing sensitive information, or relying on a single operator for execution.
The Interfold coordinates Encrypted Execution Environments (E3s): ephemeral execution surfaces where encrypted inputs can be processed, verified, and decrypted through threshold decryption.
This makes new coordination patterns possible, including:
- sealed-bid auctions without trusted auctioneers
- verifiable secret ballots without revealing individual votes
- collaborative analytics without pooling sensitive datasets
- multiparty systems where private inputs produce shared outcomes

Developers can build on Interfold by creating E3 programs: encrypted computation flows where private inputs are processed into verifiable outcomes.

If you discover a vulnerability, please do not open a public issue. Contact the team through official channels so it can be handled responsibly.
The Interfold is open-source infrastructure for confidential coordination, initially developed by Gnosis Guild: https://www.gnosisguild.org
It is not a privacy coin, data storage network, compute marketplace, or trusted hardware enclave system. It is a distributed network for producing shared outcomes from private inputs through verifiable encrypted execution and threshold decryption.
