# Shutter Network

> The Highest Standard of Privacy and Fairness

Shutter Network enhances fairness and security in blockchain systems through threshold encryption, preventing front-running and transaction manipulation.

Shutter Network provides encryption solutions for blockchain systems, protecting transactions and governance processes. Using threshold encryption and Distributed Key Generation, Shutter ensures information symmetry by encrypting user actions until they are securely finalized, preventing MEV attacks and manipulation.

The system encrypts transactions until order finalization while maintaining security through multi-layer validation. (Risk Assessment, Live, Main Product)
- [Shutter API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/shutter_network): Shutter API provides developer access to threshold encryption capabilities, enabling integration of privacy and fairness features into dApps. The system offers a straightforward implementation path for commit-reveal encryption workflows. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Shielded Gaming](https://thegrid.id/profiles/shutter_network): Shielded Gaming applies threshold encryption to blockchain games, enabling fair play through concealed player actions and decisions. The system prevents players from accessing opponents' moves or strategies prematurely, enhancing game integrity. (Blockchain Gaming Infrastructure, Open Beta)

## Assets

- [Shutter Token (SHU)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/shutter_network): SHU is the governance token of Shutter DAO 0x36. It is used to vote on protocol development funding and to elect Keypers, the node operators who generate encryption and decryption keys for the network. The token enables holders to shape how transactions are protected from front-running through the selection of operators who control the threshold encryption system. (Governance)
