Keep Network

The market has seen a few solutions supporting the upgrading the security and privacy in crypto networks. And recently the focus of developer has changed from just anonymous payment crypto networks to private solutions with applications and secure smart contracts. That is the field where Keep Network operates. Strong competitors include NuCypher and Enigma - both strong and respected projects but with a bit different approaches.

Keep Network serves as an off-chain container allowing smart contracts to manage private data without sending the data to the public blockchain. Keep Network sends public keys to smart contracts that may be used for private communication. Data may be computed privately and published publicly when it is needed.

Keep Network generate private storage where private data is encrypted and secured. Tokens are used for private storage and may be a reward for those who actually store and compute this private encrypted data.

Nodes must lock up tokens (shared staking may be used). 

Github is active. By the way, the project is not public in disclosing the current progress and following the roadmap (roadmap also is not disclosed).

Tokens are used for private storage and may be a reward for those who actually store and compute this private encrypted data. Nodes must lock up tokens (shared staking may be used).

Gossips indicate that the project raises about 30M USD. Keep Network also published its investors on the website - Polychain, Andreessen Horovitz, DHVC, Draper, Fabric Ventures. 

The project is far from being public in raising capital, so the public tokensale is not expected in the middle term.
