Duet is a multi-chain synthetic asset protocol that facilitates the transformation of real-world tradable assets into digital assets within a decentralized finance ecosystem. The platform enables users to replicate and trade these assets in a blockchain environment, allowing for the over-collateralization of crypto tokens. This approach creates a seamless experience for users to hold, trade, and stake both cryptocurrency and traditional assets in a single location, thereby enhancing liquidity and accessibility in the financial market. By bridging the gap between traditional assets and the digital realm, Duet aims to provide a comprehensive trading platform that sharpens assets for use in the evolving blockchain landscape.

zCloak Network is a privacy-first decentralized platform that provides a confidential computation infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem. It enables the storage and analysis of personal data in a way that keeps data under user control and minimizes exposure to centralized servers. The system uses a STARK-based zero-knowledge virtual machine accessible via a browser extension to prove the integrity of user computations without revealing sensitive inputs. Its W3C-compatible decentralized identity system can reflect real-world status and reputation within decentralized social ecosystems, and the platform is chain-agnostic, offering computation and identity services across multiple public blockchains. By enabling computing on real-world data for applications such as decentralized finance, identity, and biometrics without disclosing private information, zCloak Network aims to reduce data theft and misuse while empowering privacy-preserving data processing across Web3.
