Introduction

What is Airchains?
Airchains is a cutting-edge, modular framework designed to simplify the creation and deployment of customized, privacy-preserving blockchain solutions. Built for a multi-chain world, Airchains empowers developers to build innovative applications with unparalleled data security and seamless interoperability across diverse blockchain ecosystems, leveraging the power of both Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
Here's what makes Airchains unique:
- Modular Design: Airchains allows you to select and configure the key components of your blockchain, including the execution layer (EVM, CosmWasm, SVM), data availability layer (Celestia, Avail, EigenLayer).
- zkFHE Powered: Airchains leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to provide robust privacy features, allowing you to build applications where sensitive data remains protected.
- Cross-Chain Compatibility: Airchains is designed to work seamlessly with leading blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, enabling cross-chain asset transfers and interoperable applications.
- Developer-Friendly: Airchains provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources to simplify the development process, including SDKs, APIs, and detailed documentation.
