Ciphernodes operate the network layer behind confidential coordination on Interfold.
For each computation, a committee of ciphernodes helps generate the public key used to encrypt inputs for that program. When the program produces an encrypted output, the committee participates in threshold decryption so only the permitted result can be released.
No single ciphernode holds the full key, sees plaintext inputs, or controls outcome release alone. That is why a diverse, independently operated ciphernode set is essential to the network.
We are currently onboarding early operator interest ahead of broader network access.
