Applied Blockchain, a UK-based technology firm specializing in blockchain infrastructure and privacy solutions, has introduced Silent Data, a Layer 2 privacy solution on Ethereum designed to protect sensitive data during tokenization.
Partnering with Archax, the UK’s first FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, the integration enables real-world asset ( RWA ) tokenization on public blockchains without compromising data confidentiality.
Privacy Meets Public Blockchain
According to the official announcement , Silent Data is designed to address a key challenge in blockchain adoption: combining the openness of public blockchains, such as Ethereum, with the stringent privacy and regulatory requirements of enterprise clients.

At its core, Silent Data operates within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which are hardware-based secure enclaves that ensure sensitive data remains encrypted and inaccessible, even to the infrastructure operator.
Access to the data is tightly controlled through standard Solidity smart contracts, allowing only approved parties to view specific information under predefined conditions. This gives organizations precise control over what is shared and with whom, without compromising scalability or regulatory compliance.
Balancing Privacy and Transparency
Many businesses want to utilize blockchain for automation and transparency, but are hindered by concerns over exposing confidential information or complying with regulatory requirements.
Traditional private blockchains protect data but often isolate organizations from the broader blockchain ecosystem, increasing costs and limiting scalability.
Silent Data provides a solution that bridges this gap. It allows organizations to leverage the public Ethereum network while keeping sensitive data secure and access tightly controlled.
Organizations can maintain complete control over data sharing policies while benefiting from the transparency and automation that blockchain enables.
Reportedly, the Layer 2’s design makes it especially suitable for sectors such as finance, healthcare, and energy industries that require both high security and regulatory compliance.
Early Adoption Across Industries
Silent Data is already gaining traction among major players. Energy giant Shell is testing the technology for its operations, while healthcare firm CRYOPDP is applying it to secure logistics. Meanwhile, Tokeny and Archax are using Silent Data to advance asset tokenization.
Silent Data also launches with a suite of ready-to-use, privacy-focused blueprint applications, accelerating deployment for enterprise use cases.
Why This Matters
Silent Data aims to address key challenges limiting enterprise use of public blockchains. By merging the privacy and control of private systems with the transparency and scalability of public networks, the platform seeks to provide a foundation for secure and compliant blockchain applications at scale.

Many industries handle confidential or regulated data. Silent Data allows tokenization on public blockchains without exposing sensitive information.
A private blockchain is a permissioned network where only approved participants can access data or participate in the consensus process.
Because they offer confidentiality, operational control, and the ability to meet regulatory requirements more easily.
Public blockchains benefit from broader decentralization, while private chains can have stronger internal security controls. Each has different security trade-offs.
