# Encrypted NFTs

**Core Innovation:** NFTs with two layers of information:

* **Public layer:** Visible to all (artwork, metadata, rarity)
* **Private layer:** Encrypted secret readable only by owner (word, coordinate, code)<br>

An Encrypted NFT (eNFT) is an NFT that **commits on-chain** to a private payload while keeping the payload itself **non-public**, and exposes a **standardized interface** for:

* publishing/verifying integrity (commitments),
* owner-gated access (authorization),
* optional proof-based gameplay (verification without disclosure).

#### **Why incomplete information matters:**

Traditional blockchain games have complete information  -  everything is public. This limits strategic depth:

* Bots can see all game state → optimal play is computable
* No negotiation (nothing hidden to trade)
* No bluffing, deception, or social gameplay

Incomplete information unlocks:

* **Uncertainty:** Players infer what others know
* **Markets:** Hidden data becomes tradeable asset
* **Social strategy:** Trust, betrayals, alliances matter
* **AI-resistance:** Social dynamics harder to automate than pure computation
