Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs, sometimes referred to as “enclaves”) are processing environments that enable secure execution of code by isolating themselves from the host system’s operating system, kernel, and hypervisor. This isolation is often achieved through hardware separation, making it difficult (but not impossible) for external systems to tamper with or inspect enclave processes. This post from @aadi serves as a broad framework for how to think about and use this important primitive in the context of blockchains. 📝: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/trusted-execution-environments-tees-primer/

TEEs are such a powerful primitive for enhancing security in blockchain applications! By enabling confidential computation while maintaining integrity, they open up possibilities for private smart contracts, secure oracles, and trust-minimized coordination. Looking forward to diving into @aadi's framework—this is a critical piece for scaling privacy and security in Web3. 🔐🚀 #BlockchainSecurity #TEEs
