what's epoch?

Epoch is a private prediction markets platform built on Solana, utilizing Arcium's MPC technology for encrypted computations. Bets are placed anonymously and encrypted client-side as 64 bytes of ciphertext, ensuring no visibility to validators, bots, or even the platform itself before processing. This prevents front-running, copy trading, and position leaks common in other markets. The protocol leverages Solana's speed for rapid event betting and Arcium for privacy-preserving honesty in predictions. Currently in active development, it ships features continuously during bear markets without an official token launched, positioning privacy as the new normal for prediction markets.
