# Overview

Secret Network's EVM Toolkit is a cross-chain messaging and confidential computation SDK for EVM developers. 

The toolkit allows EVM developers to build novel cross-chain applications such as private DAO voting mechanisms, secure random number generation (Secret VRF), confidential data access control via EVM NFTs, encrypted DeFi order books, and more.  

Secret Network currently supports two cross-chain messaging solutions:
