What is NuCypher?

It is a decentralized access control and key management system, an encryption service for public blockchains. It offers end-to-end encrypted data sharing on public blockchains and decentralized storage solutions.

The Crypto allows users to share private data between a number of participants in public consensus networks, using proxy re-encryption (PRE) technology.

According to NuCypher, this decryption technology makes it much more secure and protected than traditional blockchain projects based on public-key encryption.

NU is the native token used on the larger NuCypher network. They are used to incentivize network participants to perform key management services.

They are also used for staking to run a NuCypher worker node. The network is protected against malicious staking, and would automatically slash a suspected user’s rewards.

NuLink is collaborating with NuCypher and has received a Polkadot Web3 Foundation grant. It’s bridging the NuCypher Network to Polkadot, Heco, Near, and PlatON and will cooperate with more ecosystems for inter blockchain features.

Should I buy NU today?

Nothing can substitute doing your own research. Any investment decision you make should be based on your market expertise, your attitude to risk, and the features and spread of your portfolio. Also consider how you would feel about losing money.
