ProofSakshya/engine-fhe

The 'engine-fhe' repository is a nascent component of the Sakshya Protocol. With 0 stars and 0 forks after 43 days, it currently lacks any market validation or community momentum. While Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is an extremely deep technical field, this specific repository appears to be a protocol-specific implementation layer rather than a new cryptographic primitive. It likely relies on established libraries such as Zama's tfhe-rs. The defensibility is currently rated 2 because, while FHE is hard to write, this specific codebase has no 'moat' outside of its parent protocol's success. Frontier labs (OpenAI, Google) are unlikely to compete directly with a niche protocol engine, though they are investing in the underlying FHE primitives. The primary threat comes from established 'Confidential Computing' blockchains like Fhenix or Inco, and FHE infrastructure providers like Zama, who are much further ahead in terms of developer tooling and ecosystem gravity. Without significant adoption of the Sakshya Protocol itself, this engine remains a technical artifact with high displacement risk as better-optimized FHE compilers emerge.
