Augmenting EVMs with FHE to Enable New Use Cases
summary
Augments EVMs with FHE using custom opcodes so contracts store symbolic on-chain handles while Inco Network performs deterministic FHE compute off-chain, verified on-chain; decryption uses a threshold NPC for partial decryptions. Claims support for encrypted integers and encrypted booleans with exact, non-level TF-style FHE (add, mul, div, comparisons), enabling confidential ERC‑20s, poker/Mafia (one demo built in 24 hours at ETHGlobal), private AMMs and payroll; hardware acceleration next year scales bootstrapping and makes it practical.
