Incognitee — The Start of Full Privacy for DOT
Incognitee is the first and currently only solution offering enhanced privacy with convenience for Polkadot. From anonymous transfers to anonymous voting and messaging, 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 even metadata remains confidential while integrity is still given.
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.

Incognitee Beta Launch on Polkadot Asset Hub
After running successfully for 2 months on Integritee network, we extend Incognitee to Polkadot Asset Hub to give the whole Polkadot community access to the Incognitee privacy features. Try Incognitee for DOT now: https://app.incognitee.io/dot.
What awaits you in this release?
Private Transactions of DOT
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 — even while they are processed.

Check out the roadmap below.
Incognitee Roadmap
We have already accomplished five major Stages, and are now working on stage 6, the Sidechain Governance, Nomination, and External Validateers.
Stage 1: Prototype of a 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 Polkadot Asset Hub ✅
After successful operations on the Integritee Network, we have deployed Incognitee on Polkadot Asset Hub. This enables not only the support for DOT but also for other Parachain tokens on Asset Hub later on.
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.

About Integritee
Integritee is the most scalable, privacy-enabling network with a Parachain on Kusama and Polkadot. Our SDK solution combines the security and trust of Polkadot, the scalability of second-layer Sidechains, and the confidentiality of Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), special-purpose hardware based on Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology inside which computations run securely, confidentially, and verifiably.
