"TEN Protocol: The 'Price Butcher' of the Privacy Track, hardware acceleration + off-chain storage reduces Gas fees by 100 times! 🚀"

1. What gives TEN the confidence to challenge Aztec? Hardware "physical external device" dimensionality reduction strike.

Imagine two delivery companies battling it out:
Aztec: Each package must be manually wrapped in ten layers of encrypted paper, and a mathematical proof must be attached. The courier (miner) is exhausted to the point of vomiting, and the shipping cost is naturally sky-high 12.

TEN: Directly rent the TEE vault in Intel chips, data automatically encrypts upon entry, speed comparable to "robot assembly line", completing in 6 seconds what takes others 1 minute 515.

A more daring operation is "only send the express delivery order":

Your transaction data (for example, transferring 100U) exists off-chain (IPFS), and only a hash fingerprint is left on-chain, which is equivalent to sending a package with only the order form filled out without packing it, and the Gas fee is reduced by 80%.

Group delivery: 100 transactions are packaged into 1 block for verification, with a cost allocated to each transaction of approximately $0.03, which is 40 times cheaper than Aztec.

Actual comparison:

Transfer 100U: TEN ≈ 3 cents vs Aztec ≈ 1.2 dollars (enough to buy a cup of milk tea)

Institutional whales engage in dark operations: TEN settlement cost is $0.001 per transaction, Aztec large transactions soar to $50 + 7.

2. Four major technological breakthroughs turning "luxury privacy goods" into "affordable fast-moving consumer goods"

Hardware Acceleration (TEE):
The physical vault processing encryption of Intel chips outpaces pure software solutions, verifying a single transaction in just 50 milliseconds (Aztec takes 500 milliseconds) 515.
off-chain storage + on-chain fingerprint:
Data exists on IPFS, only the hash is stored on-chain, perfectly avoiding Ethereum's "exorbitant storage tax" 7.
Developer Zero Threshold:
Directly write privacy contracts in Solidity (Aztec needs to learn the new language Noir), just modify a few lines of code to "become invisible," saving 90% of the learning cost.

Compatible with existing wallets:
Tap twice on the Little Fox wallet to switch to privacy mode, while Aztec still needs to mess around with new plugins, which directly discourages beginners.
3. What benefits can ordinary people reap?

High-frequency players: Operate chain games 100 times a day, total cost of TEN ≈ 3 USD (Aztec requires 120 USD, enough to recharge for half a year of Bilibili VIP membership)
Institutional investors: dark pool trading with zero slippage, saving money ultimately allows retail investors to benefit.

4. The October mainnet launch, TEN's "ultimate ambition"

TEN is not just a simple price reduction, but a reconstruction of privacy logic using hardware:
✅ The TEE chip eliminates the "turtle speed mode" of pure software encryption.

✅ Off-chain storage bypasses the storage profit of Ethereum

✅ Ecological reuse allows developers to "easily earn" privacy dividends.

Just like electric vehicles overturning fuel cars - TEE is bloodily sweeping the ZK track, privacy is no longer a "rich man's toy" 🔐

"I laughed so hard, a friend asked me why I've been so into blockchain games lately. I said the transaction fee for using TEN is only 3 cents. He casually sent me 1U and said, 'Here, spend it, don't be too hard on yourself'... Damn, this is enough for me to play for a month!"
