op 🤝 TEE to secure off-chain computing!

Looking forward to scaling blockchains and enhancing the web 3 ecosystem with a16z crypto backed OpenLayer. TEEs complement crypto-economic methods by providing faster finality, reducing cost and reliance on fishermen. Together they increase the cost of attack by deterring compute nodes from returning incorrect results while still providing end users a seamless experience.

On-chain verification of AWS Nitro Enclave attestations is now possible on Ethereum at a cost of 70m gas (20m if the cert chain is verified).

Code executed in a TEE is only secure to the extent it can be verified that the code was indeed run inside a TEE. Attestations play an important role in guaranteeing this.

Unfortunately, different TEE implementations use different curves and hashing algorithms, not all of which have optimized precompiles on Ethereum.

In particular, AWS Nitro Enclaves use the P-384 curve for their signature scheme and the SHA384 hashing algorithm.

A naive implementation would take about 400 million gas. In this article, we describe a few optimizations to make them practical on Ethereum today!

Marlin is thrilled to announce a partnership with Lighthouse, a decentralized perpetual data storage protocol built on IPFS and Filecoin.

This collaboration aims to supercharge the adoption of decentralized, trustless frontends by leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and ensuring affordable storage.

What this means:

- Faster and more secure frontends: TEEs will enable complex computations to be performed off-chain, leading to faster and more secure user experiences for decentralized applications.

- Reduced storage costs: By integrating with Lighthouse Web3, applications can benefit from affordable and perpetual data storage solutions.

Oyster coprocessors are built on Nitro Enclaves, a TEE implementation that ensures the security of your code and data by protecting against tampering and leaks, perfect for securely outsourcing computations.

But, enabling network access in enclaves is an engineering challenge.

Nitro Enclaves are isolated with no direct network access, relying on vsocks instead of IP sockets.

This requires apps to be rewritten to communicate with RPCs, APIs or expose endpoints from within this secure environment.

Oyster's goal is make existing apps run inside Oyster without modifications.

Check this piece to learn more about the journey of bringing seamless Internet connectivity to Nitro Enclaves as we delve deep into Oyster's networking stack!

Excited to announce Marlin’s strategic partnership with Talus, the leading platform for building and deploying AI smart agents. This collaboration brings secure and verifiable compute to Talus for their agentic workloads.

Why does verifiable compute matter? It lets developers train & deploy AI models without revealing the underlying data. This unlocks a whole new world of secure, censorship-resistant AI applications.

The Talus Smart Agent Hub provides developers with the tools they need to build powerful agents. They can select the level of privacy and verifiability for each scenario, ensuring that their AI models are both secure and transparent.

This is where Oyster TEEs come in! Oyster offers cheap, scalable compute capabilities for even the most sensitive data. By leveraging the Oyster platform, developers can access reliable, high-performance computing while protecting their data from unauthorized access.

Together, Talus & Marlin are paving the way for the next generation of verifiable compute for smart agents.

Important Announcement:

The relay network migrated from Ethereum to the Arbitrum network in January 2022. Users are requested to unstake and bridge their tokens to Arbitrum to continue participating in the Marlin network. The UI for the Ethereum network will be deprecated by 15th June 2024 and users on Ethereum are encouraged to complete this process before that. After the due date, this would need to be done directly via smart contracts.

Note: No action is required from users on the Arbitrum network
