PANews reported on February 2nd that, according to The Block, the crypto-computing network Arcium has launched its mainnet Alpha version on Solana, marking its transition from a testing environment to early production-ready infrastructure. The project aims to power the crypto capital markets on public blockchains, with its execution engine allowing developers to build verifiable and composable applications while keeping data fully encrypted.

The first application to launch on this network, Umbra, simultaneously launched its "private mainnet," building a shielded financial layer on Solana through a phased rollout. Initially, it offers shielded transfers and encrypted exchange functionality. Access will be limited initially, with 100 users allowed per week and a $500 deposit limit. Access is expected to be expanded and the limit increased in February.
