According to the company, its goals for the first half of 2022 for Shockwave are ambitious: add hundreds of thousands of new users and launch hundreds of new applications. Our mission is to ensure that Web3 applications have the data privacy guarantees and customizable privacy controls that they will require for global adoption.
“The Secret Network is the first and only mainnet layer 1 blockchain to offer privacy by default for smart contracts and applications, putting us in the ideal position to achieve this vision”, he said.
