CrunchDAO is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Arcium, a pioneer in confidential compute for secure & decentralized infrastructure.

This collaboration builds on CrunchDAO’s long-standing commitment to privacy by enhancing the security and enterprise-readiness of our decentralized predictive intelligence network as we expand into new markets and verticals.

Scaling Privacy in a Decentralized Future

CrunchDAO has always prioritized privacy in its mission to democratize predictive intelligence through its global community of ML talent. Our privacy requirements evolve as we continue to decentralize our infrastructure and diversify our use-cases beyond finance & healthcare, including upcoming integrations into on-chain economies.

With this partnership, CrunchDAO is advancing its ability to offer customizable, vertical-specific privacy protections while preserving the trustless and transparent environment our community values.

Arcium’s MPC: Powering Decentralized Node Operators

Arcium’s advanced multi-party computation (MPC) framework empowers Crunchers (ML talent network) to run their own nodes using cutting-edge privacy-preserving techniques. This ensures model ownership is safeguarded and allows us to enforce strict data privacy policies across the network.

As CrunchDAO’s footprint grows, Arcium will play a pivotal role in ensuring each vertical meets its unique security and compliance requirements, while maintaining the integrity of our decentralized operations.

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

• Private Data: CrunchDAO’s infrastructure will be able to cater to the diverse privacy and security demands of institutional partners and emerging markets.
  
• Private Models: Proprietary data used to train models and deliver forecasts is fully encrypted and never exposed during computation.
  
• Verifiability: Models and predictions remain auditable, tamper-proof, and under the full control of node operators and Coordinators to empower decentralized ownership.

This partnership positions CrunchDAO as a leader in the confidential AI space, delivering fully private, verifiable, and secure financial forecasting for DeFi, TradFi, and the on-chain economies of tomorrow.

Together, CrunchDAO and Arcium are setting a new standard for decentralized intelligence.

About CrunchDAO

CrunchDAO is building predictive intelligence by bringing together over 8,000 data scientists and ML engineers worldwide including 1,200 PhDs. Through structured “Crunches” (modeling challenges), the Solana-based protocol secure model crowdsourcing to build superior modeling capacity compared to traditional in-house teams.

About Arcium

Arcium is an encrypted supercomputer enabling computations over encrypted data. Powered by Multi-Party Computation (MPC), it delivers scalable, trustless, and verifiable private computation, empowering blockchain applications, enterprises, and institutions to unlock new use cases and securely collaborate on otherwise siloed data.
