Chainlink and Mind Network have launched a new Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) privacy bridge powered by Chainlink CCIP, marking a deep infrastructure-level integration. This upgrade allows users to send encrypted and confidential messages across different blockchains without exposing sensitive data, advancing privacy as a core feature of Web3.
The collaboration evolved from Mind Network joining the Chainlink Build program in early 2023, with Chainlink serving as a strategic partner during Mind Network's early funding round. To strengthen ties, Mind Network committed 3% of its native token supply to Chainlink service providers and stakers, now active through Chainlink Rewards Season 1, where eligible LINK stakers can claim Mind Network's FHE token.
The FHE Bridge combines FHE's capability to perform computations directly on encrypted data with CCIP's secure cross-chain messaging system, ensuring data remains encrypted during transmission, storage, and use. This setup mitigates risks of data exposure in cross-chain activities and supports applications in agentic AI, real-world assets, institutional finance, AI automation, and private micropayments.
Both projects emphasize that privacy is transitioning from an optional feature to fundamental infrastructure, positioning Chainlink and Mind Network at the forefront of this shift in the crypto ecosystem.
