In the era of big data, data and privacy security are facing major challenges. In order to prevent the leakage of sensitive information, data islands are formed between enterprises, the efficiency of transaction dialogue is low, and the value of data cannot be circulated and displayed. In order to break the situation of data segregation, ensure data openness and transparency while ensuring privacy and security, MPC (multi-party privacy security) came into being.

Partisia, a Web3 platform established in 2008, has been selling commercial-grade MPC software solutions since its inception. In order to build an open and transparent trading platform on the chain, Partisia decentralized the MPC solution in 2017, helping hundreds of companies realize transparent transactions on the chain while protecting privacy and security, and realizing "data available but not visible".

In order to facilitate everyone to learn more about Partisia, Odaily's 134th Chaohua Community invited Partisia co-founder Brian Gallagher to share Partisia's development history, landing applications, development plans, etc.
