Mint Blockchain, a leading Layer 2 blockchain built on OP Stack and designed for the NFT ecosystem, is excited to announce its integration with Secret Network’s Confidential Computing Layer (CCL). This partnership brings cutting-edge privacy, security, and scalability to the Mint ecosystem, unlocking new possibilities for NFT marketplaces, DeFi applications, gaming, and beyond.

By integrating Secret Network’s CCL, Mint Blockchain will offer private metadata for NFTs, sealed-bid auctions, encrypted order books, secure randomness (Secret VRF), and confidential data storage—all critical tools for advancing NFT innovation and adoption.

Enhancing NFT Security and Utility

Since the launch of ERC-721 in 2017, NFTs have evolved from digital collectibles into a powerful asset class with real-world applications. However, security, transparency, and scalability challenges remain, especially for high-value assets, decentralized gaming, and enterprise use cases.

This integration allows dApps on Mint Blockchain to leverage Secret Network’s encrypted smart contracts for a new level of security and functionality. Some of the key benefits include:

• Private metadata for NFTs – Enables hidden attributes, secure content access, and confidential ownership records.

• Sealed-bid auctions – Ensures fair, tamper-proof bidding processes for high-value NFT transactions.

• Encrypted order books for DeFi – Protects trade data and enhances market integrity for NFT and DeFi applications.

• Secret VRF (Verifiable Random Function) – Generates secure, unpredictable randomness for blockchain-based games, raffles, and lotteries.

• Confidential data linked to NFTs – Supports identity-based assets, reputation systems, and real-world asset tokenization with enhanced privacy.

Unlocking New Opportunities for Developers and Users

With its low gas fees, extensive NFT standards, complete NFT infrastructure, and revenue-sharing incentives for developers, Mint Blockchain is dedicated to driving NFT adoption and innovation. Integrating Secret Network’s CCL takes this mission further by making NFT transactions and interactions more secure, private, and efficient.

"NFTs are rapidly expanding beyond collectibles into real-world applications, and privacy is becoming a critical component of their utility," says MintCore, from the Mint Blockchain Developer Team. "By integrating Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer, we are giving developers and users the tools they need to build more secure and scalable NFT applications, unlocking a new era of innovation."

A Shared Vision for the Future of NFTs

Mint Blockchain and Secret Network share a vision of expanding the potential of NFTs through better security, privacy, and usability.

"This integration with Mint Blockchain is a huge step toward making privacy a standard in the NFT space," says Lisa Loud, executive director of Secret Network Foundation. "With private metadata, secure auctions, and encrypted transactions, NFT marketplaces and applications on Mint Blockchain can offer users a level of trust and confidentiality never seen before."

Looking Ahead

As NFTs continue to gain traction across industries—from gaming and entertainment to identity and finance—the need for scalable and privacy-preserving solutions will only grow. The Mint x Secret Network integration ensures that developers and businesses can create next-generation NFT applications with built-in confidentiality, security, and usability.
