Partisia Blockchain partners with Polygon to bring MPC capabilities to the Internet of Blockchains
Partisia Blockchain Foundation, an independent non-profit supporting the development of the world’s most advanced zero-knowledge blockchain, announces a major collaboration with Polygon, the leading decentralized Ethereum scalability solution provider. With the partnership, the Partisia network will grant Polygon developers a new platform for privacy-first computations and unlock a new type of smart contract for Polygon’s Internet of Blockchains.
Ethereum, the world’s second-largest blockchain by market cap, has emerged as the leading platform for decentralized applications, but it remains plagued by low throughput and high transaction costs. This set the stage for a variety of scaling solutions to enter the market, offering different approaches and visions to speeding up the Ethereum ecosystem. Polygon is a leading player in this sector, aiming for greater cross-chain interoperability and offering developers a four-layered architecture. Its tiers—the Ethereum layer, the Security layer, the Polygon network layer, and the Execution layer—serve different purposes and allow new projects to fine-tune their integration in line with their specific needs.
Partisia Blockchain adds another platform to Polygon’s vast ecosystem, focusing on data privacy and confidentiality and enabling decentralized multi-party zero-knowledge computations. While not unheard of in the blockchain space, most of the zero-knowledge platforms in the industry only allow two parties to compute a function while keeping their inputs private—a limitation Partisia scraps thanks to its multi-party computation capabilities. The technology enables a plethora of possible use cases, such as, for example, an NFT auction where the system only reveals the winning bid.
Developers building on Polygon will be able to run private computation transactions on the Partisia Blockchain and deploy their custom private computation smart contracts, linking them with their existing decentralized apps on Polygon to it through a dedicated bridge. As part of the collaboration, Partisia will add support for Polygon-native tokens and ERC-20 coins, including their use for paying node fees for running the private computations.
“Privacy is a key Web3 pillar that must lay at the foundation of the Internet’s future,” says Brian Gallagher, Co-Founder of Partisia Blockchain. “We are thrilled to be bringing a confidentiality layer into the Polygon ecosystem, giving the developers in the community a powerful platform to conduct private computations of any complexity. In the long run, this integration will enable a whole new generation of secure and privacy-minded Web3 services.”
“Our collaboration with Partisia opens up countless new and exciting possibilities for all Polygon developers, providing them with additional tools to fine-tune the privacy and security of their projects,” said Antoni Martin, Polygon Enterprise Lead. “Partisia’s MPC and ZK-based smart contracts platform adds an additional layer of confidentiality and private computations to Polygon that will be invaluable for any Web3-focused team.”

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
