Enigma is building a decentralized, open, secure data marketplace that will change how data is shared, aggregated and monetized to maximize collaboration. Catalyst is our first product and the first application running on our Enigma protocol. Powered by our financial data marketplace, Catalyst empowers users to share and curate data and build profitable, data-driven investment strategies.

Is your project open sourced?

How is Enigma MPC affected by the SEC decleration?

According to the legal advice from our excellent lawyers, ECAT is a utility token and it does not constitute a security. We have complied and intend to comply with all guidance from regulatory bodies. For more information refer to our lawyer Marco Santoni’s tweets on utility tokens.

Is the token sale open to US investors? Is the Presale?

Yes.
