Status de Dev 🟢 Ativo
Detalhe do Status de Dev Released (Mainnet-Beta; v0 mainnet live; transitioning to v1 with LITKEY token launch) Reclassified 2026-09-14: 'v0 mainnet live' is real production chain activity; 'Mainnet-Beta' is network branding (same pattern as Solana's own 'mainnet beta' naming), not a maturity claim.
Proprietário Lit Protocol (co-founded by David Sneider; backed by Lit Association)
Órgão de Governança Company-controlled (Lit Protocol) | Lit Association (protocol stewardship)
País USA (San Francisco-based)
Ano de Início 2020
Stack Rust + JavaScript/TypeScript (node network in Rust; Lit Actions execute JavaScript in sealed VMs; client SDKs in TypeScript)
Financiamento VC ($13M Series A led by 1kx in Sept 2022; additional funding totaling $15.2M+; investors include 1kx, RRE Ventures, OpenSea Ventures, Eniac Ventures, Protocol Labs, Collab+Currency)

Protocolo P2P Atributos
Origens Ecosystem/SDK (decentralized access control and key management infrastructure for Web3)
Banco de Dados N/A (not a data storage protocol; manages cryptographic key shares across distributed nodes)
Linguagem de Consulta Custom (Lit Actions API — JavaScript programs executed within sealed nodes to evaluate access conditions and produce signatures)
Formatos de Dados Custom (access control conditions as JSON objects referencing on-chain state, off-chain data, or custom logic; encrypted data as ciphertext blobs)
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo Real N/A (key management/encryption infrastructure, not an editing tool)
Edição de Texto Rico N/A
Suporte Móvel N/A (infrastructure protocol; client SDKs primarily for server/browser environments)
Suporte Web Yes (JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for browser integration; used by dApps for token-gating, wallet creation, signing)
Aplicativos Nativos N/A (infrastructure protocol)
Termos Self-hosting + Paid (node operators stake LITKEY tokens; network fees for signing/encryption operations; veLITKEY staking model)
Fundos $15.2M+ (total raised per Crunchbase; ~$20M claimed by co-founder including all rounds)
Baseado Em Original (novel threshold cryptography network; blockchain-agnostic middleware interacting with Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and other chains)
Arquitetura P2P Mesh network + Public Blockchain (distributed network of sealed TEE nodes performing threshold cryptography; LITKEY staking on Base L2; reads on-chain state from multiple blockchains)
Rede de Sobreposição Global (Lit nodes form a global network; any node can participate in threshold signing/decryption for any request)
Endereçamento por Conteúdo No (key management protocol; does not use content addressing for its core function)
Local-First N/A (network-dependent; signing and decryption require reaching threshold of distributed nodes)
Criptografia de Ponta a Ponta (E2EE) Yes (core functionality: identity-based encryption where data is encrypted such that only users meeting specified access conditions can decrypt via Lit's threshold decryption)
Biblioteca de CRDTs N/A (not a data sync protocol)
Tolerância a Falhas Bizantinas Yes (threshold cryptography inherently tolerates up to t-of-n node failures/misbehavior; nodes run in TEEs to prevent key extraction)
Assinatura BLS Threshold signature + ECDSA (distributed key generation produces threshold key shares; supports BLS, ECDSA secp256k1 signatures across multiple chains)
Permissões Cryptographic Capabilities (programmable access control conditions: on-chain state checks, token ownership, DAO membership, custom JavaScript logic in Lit Actions determine who can sign/decrypt)
Compatibilidade com a Web Semântica N/A
Contrato Inteligente Yes (LITKEY token and staking contracts on Base L2; Lit reads smart contract state on multiple chains to evaluate access control conditions)
Posição na Pilha de Protocolo
Incorporação de Ativo / Valor Native — LITKEY token is the protocol-native utility and governance token used to pay for threshold signing and decryption services, and staked by node operators (veLITKEY) to participate in the network. Launched on Lit's Chronicle chain.
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo Proprietary Open Standard (published threshold cryptography protocol; company-developed with open documentation)
