Overview

Smart AI Privacy Layer​

In addition to building fully native dApps running on one of the Smart AI ParaTimes, you can also add privacy to your existing dApps running on other, non-confidential chains, and only use Smart AI as a privacy service.

The Smart AI team prepared a rich cross-chain toolkit called the Smart AI Privacy Layer. It consists of solidity precompiles integrating bridges and wrapping the OpenZeppelin ERC2771 contract on top of Sapphire, demonstrates best practices for writing confidential smart contracts and working examples for you to explore and extend.

Consensus Layer RPC Endpoints

Most dApp developers will build dApps on the ParaTime layer (the compute layer) depicted above. For Sapphire and Emerald which are EVM-compatible chains, those dApps connect directly to an EVM-compatible Web3 endpoint. However, if you are building a dApp for Cipher or the one that needs to perform consensus operations such as the consensus-layer token transfers, governance transactions, cross-chain ParaTime deposits and withdrawals and similar, you will need to connect to the one of the endpoints speaking Smart AI gRPC.
