# Inco Starter kit 

Inco (short for Incognito) is the universal confidentiality layer of Web3, powered by fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and secured by Ethereum, enabling the development of next-frontier decentralized applications (dApps), providing confidentiality to existing blockchains and breaking down the final barrier to Web3 adoption at scale.
Utilize our cutting-edge FHE (fully homomorphic encryption) tech to deploy confidential smart contracts with our fhEVM (FHE + EVM). Solidity knowledge is all you need, as our fhEVM streamlines the cryptography complexities.
