> Collaborate privately, prove publicly.

TACEO is a privacy infrastructure company that enables applications to compute on encrypted data without revealing it, using multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs.

TACEO builds a private execution layer for digital infrastructure, letting applications process sensitive data without exposing it to any single party. Developers can integrate privacy services for identity verification, onchain payments, and proof generation via standard APIs. The network distributes computation across independent node operators using MPC and coSNARKs, so no single party controls data, keys, or outcomes.

## Products

- [TACEO Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/taceo_io): The TACEO Network is a compute network that distributes confidential computation across independent MPC node committees using multiparty computation and coSNARK protocols. Applications integrate through four privacy services: threshold OPRF evaluation for credential verification, distributed Groth16 proof generation, oblivious shared state storage, and biometric identity matching. No single node operator controls data, cryptographic keys, or computation outcomes. (Compute Network, Early access, Main Product)
- [Merces](https://thegrid.id/profiles/taceo_io): Merces is a white-label private account system for stablecoins on public blockchains. It uses MPC-backed oblivious data structures and collaborative ZK proofs to keep sender, receiver, and transaction amounts confidential. Account balances are stored as secret shares across independent MPC nodes, and coSNARK proofs verify transaction integrity without revealing underlying state. (Privacy Pool, Early access)
- [TACEO Tooling](https://thegrid.id/profiles/taceo_io): TACEO Tooling is a developer framework for building collaborative zero-knowledge proofs using Circom (coCircom) and Noir (coNoir) in MPC environments. The toolkit extends these circuit languages to support multiparty computation, enabling multiple parties to jointly generate ZK proofs without any single participant seeing the complete witness data. (Developer Tooling, Early access)

Trademarks, logos, and brand names (marked "Special TPIP") are not covered by the ODbL. For ML/AI use: training datasets that substantially extract ODbL data are Derivative Databases and must be shared under ODbL if publicly used; models must be attributed in documentation.

Model 2 - commercial licenses. The Grid Data Service (TGDS) is also available as a commercial license. See [Web Services Terms](https://about.thegrid.id/legal/web-services-terms) for commercial use that is not covered by the open data service.

The following applies to both licensing models.
- All data is provided AS IS with no guarantees of accuracy.
