Telos

Fast. Private. Real-World Ready. Overview Telos is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain built for real-world adoption - uniting high speed, scalability, and a privacy-first design in one powerful network. Its advanced WASM-based architecture powers the Telos EVM, an Ethereum-compatible environment delivering sub-second finality, zero front-running, and a frictionless developer experience. The Privacy Layer extends the EVM with integrated zero-knowledge technology - enabling shielded transactions, confidential dApps, and cross-token privacy directly within the ecosystem. For the first time, privacy will be a built-in feature of the EVM itself, not an add-on.

Vector Privacy

Vector Privacy is an open-source ecosystem that is focused on ensuring the human right to privacy through encrypted communication tools. Vector Messenger is a decentralized communication platform built on the Nostr Protocol, offering no-compromise encryption with zero metadata leakage and plausible deniability for all content, including texts, media, voice notes, and files, adhering to the NIP-17 standard. It natively integrates BIP-39, allowing every Vector account to function as a crypto wallet and vice versa, streamlining tasks like address sharing and payments through compatibility with native wallets like MPW. Vector leverages local, private, device-powered AI to provide practical features such as voice message transcription, language translation, and meme gif search via a decentralized relay-based index. Its resilience is ensured by community-run Nostr relays, eliminating downtime, and its fully open-source codebase—from infrastructure to protocol specs—avoids proprietary lock-in, making it unkillable and transparent. Open-source technology developed by Formless Labs.
