Dear community,

We are excited to announce that ARPA secure computation nodes are now live on Amazon Web Services (AWS) marketplace.

ARPA secure computation nodes on AWS provide an engine for secure computation, thanks to ARPA’s blockchain-based multi-party computation network. Users can process their customized application or circuit upon this in a secure computation method. ARPA mainnet cryptographically enables private smart contracts, unprecedented data-at-use privacy protection, as well as scalable computational sharding.

By deploying our one-click full-functionality computation node on AWS, users can process their customized applications or circuits in a secure computation method. …

Dear community and ARPA supporters:

ARPA foundation has conducted a round of quarterly token burn as we mentioned in the earlier roadmap update. 6,000,000 ARPA tokens were burnt in this round, worth about $686,000 at the current price. The amount burnt has been sent to the black hole address shown below.

By the end of this round of token burn, the total amount of ARPA burnt adds up to 137,000,000, accounting for 13.7% of the circulation supply(1,000,000,000), 6.85% of the total supply(2,000,000,000), worth around $16,000,000 USD as of now.

Over the past year and during the first quarter of 2021, ARPA developers and researchers have made tremendous efforts to upgrade our secure computation modules to achieve better performance and usability.

According to our previous business development with other financial companies and data processing entities, the most frequently used applications of privacy-preserving companies are large-scale private set intersection (PSI) and linear regression (LR). With this in mind, we prioritized optimizing these specific applications. After a thorough survey of existing frameworks and implementations, we developed a series of experiments on these tools in our current real-world project settings. …

On Dec 23rd, 2020, the “Cointelegraph China First Anniversary Global Blockchain Techinnovation Summit” was held in Sanya. During the summit, Cointelegraph CH awarded ARPA CEO & co-founder Felix Xu the TOP 100 Blockchain Influencers Award.

In their role as an observer of and commentator on the industry who bridges the Chinese and international markets, Cointelegraph China selected the TOP 100 Blockchain Influencers after considering factors such as a nominees’ industry contribution, innovative thinking, and media influence. Nominees come from different sections of the blockchain industry, including investment institutions, trading platforms, public chain, mining, wallets, and the media.

Besides Felix, Binance…

We are pleased to announce that ARPA has entered into a partnership with SafePal, a crypto wallet backed by Binance. SafePal will support $ARPA, and holders can receive SFP rewards by swapping and holding ARPA at SafePal. Besides this event, there will be future collaborations on ecosystem, global marketing, and more.

A 5,000,000 SFP reward pool is allocated to incentivize all participants who complete the Holding Challenges within the SafePal App. Users who swap and hold 4,500 ARPA for 7 days before January 31st are able to take an exclusive share from the total reward pool.
