[Fhenix and EigenLayer cooperate to develop FHE coprocessor]

Fhenix, an Ethereum second-layer platform dedicated to applying fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology to smart contracts, announced that it will cooperate with EigenLayer to develop a dedicated FHE co-processor. This coprocessor is designed to perform specialized tasks more efficiently, much like a zero-knowledge coprocessor does, but its focus is on performing computations on encrypted data without decrypting the material.

The introduction of this co-processor will allow sensitive and complex computing tasks on Ethereum and its extension layer to be handled by specialized processors without affecting the performance of the main chain.

Guy Itzhaki, CEO of Fhenix, said: "We will be able to analyze large data sets while protecting privacy, opening up new application scenarios for blockchain technology."

The FHE coprocessor will not store state, but will receive input directly from the main link and remain idle during periods of inactivity, which helps optimize performance. The technology will rely on fraud proofs to ensure the economic correctness of operations and enforce security through EigenLayer’s staking mechanism, which will see the relevant validators’ stakes slashed if malicious operations are detected.

Guy Zyskind, founder of Fhenix, believes that the introduction of the FHE coprocessor is not only feasible, but will also enable massive expansion of confidential computing. "Our cooperation will make instant confirmation possible and open a new chapter."
