London, UK The blockchain privacy revolution has just been upgraded with the official launch of Silent Data, a privacy-first Layer 2 solution on Ethereum. Developed by Applied Blockchain and in partnership with Archax, the first FCA-licensed digital asset exchange, Silent Data unlocks the ability to tokenize real-world assets (RWA) securely, transparently, and compliantly on public networks like Ethereum.
A solution that balances privacy and transparency
As organizations become increasingly interested in blockchain, one of the biggest barriers is sharing sensitive data on a public network. Silent Data is designed to solve this conflict, providing businesses with a solution that balances privacy and scalability.
At the core of Silent Data is the use of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), a hardware-based secure enclave that ensures data remains fully encrypted, even from system operators. This ensures that even when operating on public Ethereum, internal data remains fully protected.
Smart Contract Access Control
Using smart contracts written in standard Solidity, Silent Data grants access to data only to authorized entities, under pre-defined conditions. This approach allows businesses to be flexible and proactive in managing who is allowed to see what data, while retaining the ability to leverage the public Ethereum network without compromising security.
Overcoming the Limits of Private Blockchains
Previously, many organizations had to opt for private blockchain solutions to ensure security, but this left them isolated from the DeFi ecosystem and limited communication with public chains. Silent Data bridges two worlds: the security of a private system with the scalability and transparency of a public blockchain.
Ready for privacy-sensitive industries
With a privacy-first design from the ground up, Silent Data is especially well-suited for industries such as:
Finance: where transactions need to be verified but customer data must remain private.
Healthcare: where patient privacy is paramount.
Energy and logistics: where operational data needs to be protected and authenticated instantly.
Big names are already in the game
Early adoption is accelerating. Among them:
Shell is testing Silent Data in its energy supply chain.
CRYOPDP, a global healthcare logistics company, is deploying it to secure sensitive logistics data.
Archax and Tokeny are using Silent Data to tokenize assets in a compliant yet transparent way.
In addition, Silent Data also released a ready-to-deploy application blueprint toolkit, helping businesses save time and resources during the integration process.
Long-term implications: Unlocking the potential of enterprise blockchain
With Silent Data, Applied Blockchain is not simply introducing a new security tool, but is providing a foundational architecture for enterprise blockchain. By combining fine-grained access control, data security, and interoperability with public blockchains, Silent Data opens the door to a wide range of practical applications, from finance to healthcare, from logistics to real estate.
Conclusion
Silent Data is a powerful answer to one of the biggest challenges in the blockchain industry today: how to combine data privacy with openness and transparency. The launch of this Layer 2 solution marks a major step forward in expanding blockchain applications to large-scale enterprises, while ensuring compliance with the most stringent security and legal standards.
