# Tech

Melee is built on Monad and [Inco](https://www.inco.org/), combining the best of speed and onchain privacy.

* Monad provides high-speed, low-cost transactions to make player's forget they're using a blockchain.
* Inco's privacy tech allows for computation on encrypted inputs. This brings hidden information onchain. Consider chess and poker. In chess, the entire board is visible to both players, ensuring perfect information. In poker, each player knows only the cards in their own hand and must guess what cards their opponents hold. Onchain hidden information unlocks a new era of cryptogames with secret moves, fog of war mechanics, and resource concealment. It unlocks MMOGGs. For more information please read Inco's [docs](https://docs.inco.org/).
