December 20, 2019 – Today, Matic and Incognito announce their collaboration to deliver essential functionality for Ethereum – the blockchain that powers a huge majority of all existing use-cases for the technology.
Through the use of decentralized sidechains, Matic brings speed and Incognito brings privacy. Both already running on their respective mainnets, these projects demonstrate a shared commitment to increasing real-world viability for blockchain-powered apps and currencies.
“We’re excited to implement privacy for MATIC”, said Duy Huynh, founder of Incognito. “ The fastest layer of the decentralized web now has its own incognito mode .”
As of today, this is what Incognito mode for MATIC looks like:
1. MATIC users are able to send, receive and store their coins with 100% confidentiality. MATIC holders simply need to deposit their coins to the Incognito Wallet to receive privacy MATIC (pMATIC), a 1:1 privacy coin powered by zero-knowledge proofs.
The Incognito team is happy to give the community their first pMATIC for free. [Click here to join the giveaway].
2. Incognito has also listed MATIC on the pDEX – the first completely anonymous decentralized exchange. The team has supplied liquidity for the first MATIC pair.
Now, anyone can experience truly private trading, contribute liquidity to MATIC pairs and earn trading fees, or create a completely new trading pair of their own.
