FHENIX and EIGENLAYER are collaborating to develop a Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) co-processor, with the aim of introducing this technology into smart contracts. The FHE co-processor focuses on performing computations on encrypted data without the need for decryption, thereby improving the efficiency of handling sensitive and complex computational tasks. This co-processor is similar to existing zero-knowledge co-processors, but it focuses on a different technological domain.

<p>Shenzhen TechFlow News: Ethereum L2 project Fhenix announced its collaboration with EigenLayer to develop an FHE coprocessor, aiming to introduce Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) into smart contracts.</p>
<p>Reportedly, a coprocessor is an additional processor designed to perform specialized tasks more efficiently than a central processing unit. A current example in the industry is the zero-knowledge (zk) coprocessor, which is used to extend zk rollup computations off-chain. The FHE coprocessor is similar, but its specific focus is on performing calculations on encrypted data without the need for decryption. The FHE coprocessor will ensure that sensitive and complex computational tasks are not handled on Ethereum or subsequent L2 or L3 layers, but by designated processors.</p>
