ARPA (ARPA)

ARPA (ARPA) is a secure computation network specializing in blockchain-adapted cryptography. Its main objective is to connect, protect, and consolidate various applications within the blockchain ecosystem. The network is built on threshold BLS technology, enabling the infrastructure for verifiable random number generators, secure wallets, cross-chain bridges, decentralized custody, and more.

The decentralized nature of ARPA allows anyone to run a node within the network. By implementing prudent technical and token economics design, the network ensures a decentralized architecture without a single point of trust. With entities running individual nodes in different regions, ARPA is designed to be tamper-proof and resistant to physical attacks.

ARPA’s flexible network topology supports various applications that utilize threshold signature schemes. This flexibility allows developers to customize the signature policy to suit different use cases and choose security levels accordingly. All signatures generated by the network are verified on-chain, and users can verify their signatures through a verification function using the open-access public key. With its asynchronous, non-interactive communication design, ARPA ensures responsive service, high availability, and parallel computation for increased throughput.
