About TEN Protocol (TEN):

TEN is the privacy Layer 2 for Ethereum that brings Smart Transparency to smart contracts. Powered by Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), it enables encrypted applications with programmable privacy - allowing developers to control what's public and what's private at a granular level. This unlocks previously impossible applications across gaming, DeFi, AI, and institutional finance.

TEN’s founding team, Cais Manai, Gavin Thomas and Tudor Malene met at R3 where they built Corda, the world’s most successful blockchain with over $10bn of assets now on-chain.
All 3 have a deep understanding of the blockchain industry and technology. Individually they have experience founding startups (1 successful exit), delivering complex award-winning trading software for global banks, deep cryptography knowledge for military applications and contributing to UK government think tanks on crypto regulations. Others in the core team have previously held lead roles across tradfi, ML research and encryption technology.
