On Thursday, the Secret Network announced via X that it has entered into a strategic partnership with QSTN, a passive data monetization platform that enables users to earn cryptocurrency by securely connecting their accounts and sharing anonymized behavioral data.
This collaboration integrates SecretVM into QSTN V2 to provide a confidential verification layer for reward distribution and campaign validation, giving users and businesses a more private, trusted, and verifiable data economy.
Through this partnership, QSTN V2 will leverage SecretVM via the SecretAI platform to process sensitive verification requests inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
By securely evaluating reward claims, campaign activity, and user participation within secure enclaves, QSTN can verify legitimate actions, segment audiences, and distribute incentives without exposing the personal data behind them.
This creates an attestation-backed system for privacy-preserving validation, helping ensure both trust and confidentiality across the platform.
By integrating Secret Network’s technology, QSTN V2 will benefit from:
-
Confidential Verification: Sensitive user and campaign data is processed inside secure enclaves, keeping reward distribution and validation workflows private.
-
Attestable Execution: Remote attestation provides verifiable proof that reward and campaign decisions were executed inside a trusted environment.
-
Authenticated Audience Intelligence: Businesses gain access to high-quality insights derived from verified, real-user activity across platforms such as Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X.
-
Set-and-Forget User Experience: Users can securely connect their accounts once and passively earn crypto rewards over time without constant manual input.
-
Modular Integration: SecretVM functions as a lightweight confidential compute layer that fits into QSTN’s existing infrastructure without requiring a full backend redesign.
Secret Network is an interoperable blockchain infrastructure that aims to enable computational privacy for general-purpose smart contracts. Secret Network is a layer-1 blockchain built on Cosmos, which uses TEE technology to ensure all input, output, and state are encrypted by default. This hardware approach is the fastest and most efficient form of confidential computing. Its smart contracts are called Secret Contracts and allow decentralized applications to use private data on Secret, similar to how smart contracts operate on other blockchains. However, Secret Contracts are private by default.
Additionally, Secret Network has launched the Secret AI SDK, which uses TEE-enabled GPU hardware, integrated with the L1 blockchain, unlocking privacy-preserving decentralized AI. Secret AI allows for end-to-end encrypted LLM models and AI agents, unlocking private chatbots, DeFAI agents, proprietary AI business models, and more.
Through interoperability via Cosmos Inter Blockchain Communications standard and further integrations of Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer, it unlocks privacy-preserving smart contracts for public blockchains, including Ethereum, major EVM networks, and Solana. Making Secret Network the confidential computing hub of web3 and AI. SCRT is trading at $0.1136, up 5.2% in the last 24 hours.
