[ANN] ARPA CHAIN ⚡ A Privacy-Preserving Computation Network ⚡

[arpaofficial]

ARPA Introduction

The goal of Project ARPA is to separate data ownership and usage, or data renting. We are creating ways for multiple entities (enterprises or individuals) to collaboratively compute data, run big data analysis, while keeping each party’s data private and secure. ARPA’s cryptographic Multi-party Computation (MPC) protocol has obvious applications across industries, including fintech, insurance, advertising, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and more.

With ARPA network, enterprise and individual data can be analyzed or utilized without being exposed to anyone. In return, the data provider will be able to receive fair compensation every time their data gets rented, without putting their privacy at risk.

ARPA is collaborating with conglomerates such as JD.com, SinoChem Group and Fosun Group. Ongoing applications include 1) Joint anti-fraud solution and black list sharing, 2) Smart insurance pricing, 3) Secure risk analytics for financial institutions. In longer term, individuals
can better manage and monetize their private data using secure data wallet.

ARPA has partnered up with the Chinese Academy of Information and Technology (CAICT), Alibaba Group, Baidu, and Ant Financial in making the TC601 Chinese national standard for multiparty computation (MPC).

On December 21, 2019, ARPA was named as China’s Top 10 Most Innovative Blockchain Company by China Enterprise News and China Software Industry Association.

ARPA’s highly-international core team consists of engineers, computer scientists, and blockchain pros who have worked at Google, Amazon, Huawei, Blackstone, and other global enterprises. Members have also worked with academics at Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, Peking
University, University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University, and the University of Michigan.

The ARPA testnet, Astraea, has been live since Feb 23rd, 2019.

ARPA’s pre-alpha version mainnet was launched on January 5th, 2020.

OTHER INFO

Innovation
ARPA’s breakthrough innovations enable many entities to jointly share and compute data, while keeping data private from each other and outside parties. Our proprietary protocol separates data ownership and usage. This enables private smart contracts. Moreover, our privacy computing network has use cases in fintech, insurance, advertising, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and more.
The ARPA network gives businesses and individuals private computing power and secure data flow. It’s based on the cutting-edge cryptography secure multi-party computing (MPC). We can provide privacy computing to any public blockchain, while also protecting data and information on chain. That means several enterprises can collaborate on computing and analyzing data, without exposing info to outside parties.

Applications
We’re a leader in multi-party secure computing (MPC). Our secure computation network has applications across industries, including fintech, insurance, digital advertising, healthcare, and more.
MPC has important use cases. It can be used by several enterprises to collaborate on risk control, know-your-customer (KYC), blacklist sharing, security model analysis, distributed key management system, and more. As a leader in the field, our team is developing national and international standards for secure MPC.

** ARPA will be listed on Bittrex and Hitbtc next week.

... while keeping each party’s data private and secure ...

There is big market of platform which promises privacy and security of user data in coming years. Users are now getting more and more concern about there data and are not willing to sell there data for free to tech giants like GAFA.

Yes we are fully aware of that fact, user data privacy and security is one of the core values on which the foundation of ARPA platform stands.

ARPA is built to provide secure computation capabilty as an off-chain solution for most blockchain networks. Source

Why your Arpa website is not working?
It opens only blank white page.
I also see not information about Arpa economics anywhere

[Javi_Anibarro]

ARPA will be listed on Bittrex and Hitbtc next week

For real? as far as I know, the project is prohibited to disclose this kind of information due to the NDA.
I have seen a few projects claimed to be listed on a certain exchange but failed to meet it because they broke the NDA.

It works for me, just click the first image above or this link: https://arpachain.io/
You are right, I can not find Arpa's tokenomic on the website and the whitepaper. I also visited the explorer but did not get anything out of it.

this has been in the market for quite some time already so why did the OP decide to create their thread in the forum? based from the markets that you have, you are currently doing great. And with the long list of your investors and partners, I don't think you need more audience. any particular reason why you introduced this project to the forum? curious here...

Great, but I always say for every platform that I will trust you only when I will see this all happening, since there is too much scam and fake promises in crypto market.
Just show me this is happening on your platform and get my investment.

We are missing out on a vital platform that's the primary reason we created Ann Thread here. There are approx  2.7 million crypto aware users here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats. We don't think there is any such crypto platform elsewhere.

We have checked at our end and everything is working fine here.
Are you still not able to access the website?

[wtr1133]

Good going. But I give you one suggestion that try to accumulate funds from private investors also don't rely on ICO crowdfunding only. The more options you have better are your chances of success.

Obviously they are here for more investment,  they must be here long ago. Good to see successful projects also showing up on the bitcointalk.org.

This is addressing one key drawback of bitcoin and ethereum i.e. data privacy. Our company have suffered a lot because of this loophole in bitcoin and ethereum blockchain. Using MPC solves the issue of privacy while not impacting the scalability.

That's correct. ARPA is taking the privacy and security of user data to the next level and we delivered what we claimed. You can have a holistic view of our security and services in our Youtube promo video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwK9Z8r506U

I haven't seen many running projects here. Mostly projects came during initial phase of there crowdfunding. The statistics of ARPA as per coin market cap are good, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/arpa-chain/ . Last 24 hours market cap is 1.7 M.

MPC has many real world usage, through MPC business can collaborate on risk control, know-your-customer (KYC), blacklist sharing, security model analysis, distributed key management system. Organizations are looking for solutions based on MPC.

One key problem that MPC can address and explained by frobes is fake volumes on cryptocurrency exchanges. MPC in the context of exchanges means that "exchanges joining forces to self-regulate, and to expose that they are solvent beyond a precise threshold without revealing the exact financial details of each exchange."

I see. since exchanges don't have to share there actual financial data and that's the biggest cookie they are getting for sharing real data. It will finally bring transparency in exchange data. A thing longly desired by the crypto community.

The team always inspires me. Your research team has 3 Ph.Ds, including one Post Doc from MIT. If the team is convincing only then I follow the project else I just move on.
Hope to see LinkedIn profiles of your team soon.
