TACEO Network

The TACEO Network is the coordination and execution layer that enables private computation across independent infrastructure providers.

It is designed for applications that need to compute on sensitive data without exposing the underlying inputs to any single operator. Instead of relying on a centralized trusted party, the network uses threshold cryptographic protocols and distributed execution across committees of nodes.

This section explains how the network is structured, what security assumptions it relies on, and how it relates to TACEO services and developer tooling.

Who this section is for​

This section is most useful for:

  • teams evaluating TACEO as infrastructure for privacy-preserving applications
  • researchers and technical stakeholders who want to understand the network model
  • partners who need a high-level explanation of how private execution is coordinated
  • developers who want context before integrating services built on top of the network

If your primary goal is to integrate a production service, you may want to start in TACEO Services and then return here for architectural context.

What this section covers​

Network architecture​

How applications interact with privacy services, how service instances are organized, and how committees of MPC nodes execute confidential computations.

Security model​

What the network assumes about node operators, how threshold security works, and why no single operator can access the underlying private data.

Governance and coordination​

How the network is currently coordinated, how upgrades are handled, and how operators and applications participate in operational decisions.

Real-world application context​

Why the TACEO Network exists, what kinds of systems it is intended to support, and how it relates to services such as TACEO:OPRF and TACEO:Proof.

TACEO Network vs TACEO Services vs Developer Tooling​

These parts of the documentation are related, but they serve different purposes:

  • TACEO Network explains the infrastructure and trust model
  • TACEO Services explains the managed privacy-preserving services that applications integrate today
  • Developer Tooling explains lower-level tools for collaborative zero-knowledge workflows and experimentation

If you are evaluating TACEO for a product, the usual flow is:

  1. understand the TACEO Network at a high level
  2. choose the service that matches your use case
  3. dive into detailed service or implementation docs
