BITE Protocol Development

BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption) provides privacy primitives on SKALE Network. Use this skill when building encrypted transactions or conditional transactions (CTX).

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Implementing encrypted transactions (Phase I)
• Building CTX-enabled contracts (Phase II)
• Private games (Rock-Paper-Scissors, etc.)
• Voting or bidding applications
• Using @skalenetwork/bite-solidity library
• Using @skalenetwork/bite TypeScript SDK

BITE Phases

Quick Reference

Phase I: Encrypted Transactions

• bite-encrypted-transactions – encryptTransaction() flow
• bite-sdk-usage – TypeScript SDK usage

Phase II: Conditional Transactions (CTX)

• bite-conditional-transactions – CTX contract patterns
• bite-solidity-helpers – Solidity library usage

Chain Selection

Key Addresses

Phase I

• Magic Address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000401

Phase II (CTX)

• BITE Submit CTX: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000001B

Compiler Requirements

Resources

• bite-solidity: github.com/skalenetwork/bite-solidity
• bite-ts: github.com/skalenetwork/bite-ts
• Demo: github.com/TheGreatAxios/ctxs (thegreataxios/rps branch) – Full E2E RPS game with CTX
• Starter: github.com/thegreataxios/skale-ctxs-foundry-starter – Basic CTX template

How to Work

1. Identify Phase: Phase I (encrypted tx) or Phase II (CTX)?
2. Select Chain: Based on phase requirements
3. Use Correct Compiler: Istanbul for CTX
4. Implement: Follow patterns in rules files
5. Test: Use BITE Sandbox for CTX development
