Incognitee Beta Launch & Guess the Number Contest

Incognitee — A Brief Intro

Incognitee emerges as a promising solution, offering enhanced privacy and convenience. From anonymous transfers to anonymous voting, our solution aims to empower users with control over their digital footprint. Private transactions obfuscate the details of transactions, including the amount and parties involved. This ensures that while integrity is still given, all details remain confidential.

Integritee’s private sidechain model represents a significant leap forward in the quest for enhanced scalability and privacy in digital transactions. By combining the transparency of a public ledger with the privacy of TEEs, Integritee offers a unique solution. As industries continue to embrace blockchain technology, the adoption of innovative models like Integritee’s private sidechain will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of privacy in web3. Check out more information here.

Incognitee Beta Production Launch on Integritee Network

We believe Incognitee is — or should be — a long-awaited solution to not one, but three issues related to blockchain’s transparency nature: transactions, swapping, and governance. But first things first: why launch Incognitee at a production stage?

Launching at the production stage demonstrates Incognitee’s readiness for real-world applications, providing stability, scalability, and compliance assurance. A production-stage deployment is crucial because it reflects rigorous testing and validation, ensuring the solution can handle live transactions reliably.

Private Transactions
Private transactions encrypt the details of transactions, including the amount and parties involved. This ensures that while transaction proofs are still recorded on the public ledger, the specific details remain confidential. Try Incognitee now: https://app.incognitee.io/

Restrictions while in beta:

• Shielding limit of 1000 TEER. This will be relaxed once Incognitee has proven stable operation and compliance measures are in place.
• Sudo access for the Integritee team. This means that:
  ➡️ The team can deploy TEE updates without a referendum but with transparency: updates will be publicly visible on Integritee Network and builds can be audited on Github Actions though
  ➡️ The team can’t query private data (like balances) but debug logs may still leak sensitive information to team members with access.

Private Swapping & Private Voting Coming Soon
Check out the roadmap below.

Incognitee TEERdays

What do TEERdays have to do with Incognitee? In the future, our privacy-enabling sidechain will be operated by multiple validators, who will, in turn, share the revenue generated by the solution itself.

This revenue share will be determined by the amount of TEERdays assigned to Incognitee. Although not everyone has the expertise to be a validator, all TEER holders can become nominators — they will be nominating validators with TEERdays to also be able to participate in the revenue share of Incognitee.

However, TEERdays isn’t just about determining your revenue share — it’s also about including our loyal community in the Incognitee governance system.

Using TEERdays for governance will also increase the security of Incognitee because it adds inertia to the electorate. A (potentially hostile) takeover by some whale jumping into the game at a later stage is much harder because money alone won’t buy TEERdays. For more details, go to the Incognitee TEERdays page.

Incognitee Roadmap

We have already accomplished three major Stages, and are now working on stage 4, battle-testing the basics on Integritee Network.

Stage 1: Prototype of Sidechain on Paseo with simple front-end support ✅
At this stage, we created a functional sidechain running on Paseo which supported a narrow use case to run a public user testing campaign with a specific action flow. A simple web campaign page as UI supported the actions performed by end users. On Paseo, we can already demonstrate the ability to do transfers on L2 fully private.

Stage 2: Fully functional Sidechain deployed on Paseo with a nice UI ✅
At this stage, we were able to demonstrate a fully functional sidechain running on Paseo with a nice UI to perform all the actions necessary to do transfers and check account balances with authentication.

Stage 3: Test Emergency Interventions on Paseo ✅
We ran different emergency scenarios on Paseo to show that recovery is possible and working as designed. Among the scenarios, we put the shard into maintenance mode (temporarily pausing state transitions) and shard retirement (force-unshielding all balances back to L1).

Stage 4: Battle-Test the Basics on Integritee Network ⏳
The first productive incarnation is a functional privacy-preserving sidechain for transactions of TEER tokens only. Moreover, at this stage, we will only allow shielding of limited amounts. This is a precaution in the beta phase against both potential loss and legal issues. Limits are set high enough to endow accounts and be active, but low enough to hinder money laundering.

Stage 5: Beta Release on Kusama, Polkadot & Assethub 🏳️
After successful operations on the Integritee Network, we will deploy Incognitee on Kusama and Polkadot. This will enable not only the support for KSM and DOT but also for other Parachain tokens on Assethub.

Stage 6: Sidechain Governance, Nomination, and External Validateers 🏳
️We will soon introduce a Sidechain Governance mechanism that will allow a decentralized governance of several Incognitee sidechains independently from Integritee Network. Additionally, we will open up the permissionless operation of TEE-based Validateers for Incognitee sidechains with nominations from token holders. This will allow the distribution of Incognitee fees collected from operations in a decentralized way.

Stage 7: Security Audit 🏳️
Our implementation will be audited by a specialized and independent team before lowering the limitations of the beta version.

Future Stages 🏳️

Remove Limitations and add new features
Finally, we will remove certain limitations and add other features like private voting on Polkadot and Kusama and private token swaps.

API Integration
At this point, our sidechain API will be compatible with js/api json-rpc, and integrate well with established wallets. This may involve upstreaming our authentication procedure for queries, so we will be looking for collaborations with wallet teams to make private transactions as smooth as can be.

Release for other ecosystems
We are planning to expand to other ecosystems and offer the Incognitee solution to a broader user base.

Enabling Law Enforcement Access
We shall allow law enforcement to request selective disclosure of certain data concerning certain accounts. A governance process needs to be specified to ensure due auditing.

Guess the Number Contest

Guess the Number is a playful way for you to explore Incognitee and its capabilities with our beta deployment on the productive Integritee Network using real TEER tokens. You can now participate in the Guess the Number contest and earn one of the weekly prices while learning how our product works.

What does it have to do with Incognitee?
The Guess the Number contest includes some core functionalities that we want to first test on our own network before deploying Incognitee sidechains for other tokens like DOT, KSM, or stablecoins. For more details check out the following: https://app.incognitee.io/gtn/
