Tangram was created with a singular vision: to inspire, mobilize and empower a new generation of cypherpunks.
Acts of privacy. Acts of cryptography. Acts of code.
Our mission is to create the most private distributed ledger technology, one that is provably impervious to re-identification attacks. It will be fast, fee-less, and infinitely scalable.
Open source and the Community
Tangram will be open source. With a complete focus on privacy and decentralization, Tangram will run on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Be part of the Tangram community, and help improve privacy and anonymity in the age of data.
Tangram will be the end-to-end solution you can trust to safeguard your identity, your data, your business, and your rights in a world of prying eyes.
Private
Your distributed ledger is private and anonymous.
Fungible
Because every transaction is private, your data is untraceable.
Secure
Your data is secure and tamperproof from re-identification attacks.
Tangram platform utilises a privacy first approach through technology and cryptography, combined with next generation technology architecture to deliver a decentralized, zero-knowledge, consensus-based anonymous network and protocol.
In the future Tangram plans to build a full-stack platform to developers, offering and using distributed ledger applications.
Everything to expect
DAG
To ensure network speed and scalability, Tangram utilises a DAG architecture.
Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption
Your data is always encrypted, and never visible in plaintext.
Tor + obfs4
Tangram integrates with Tor’s hidden services, adding a layer of anonymity.
Sealed Boxes
Sealed boxes anonymously transfer to a receiver while the sender remains anonymous.
Stealth Addresses
One time addresses are generated for every transaction.
Zero-Knowledge
Tangram’s distributed network uses zero-knowledge verifiable transfers.
What's private in Tangram?
Balance
Tangram shields your balance with multi-layered cryptography.
Transactions
Every transaction is secure and encrypted throughout the transaction lifecycle.
Time stamps
By obscuring the time transactions are sent, Tangram provides an added layer of anonymity.
Send and Receiver
Both sender and receiver are protected from re-identification attacks.
