Don’t miss the latest Zero Gravity podcast episode, “TEEs and Confidential Computing: Paving the Way for Onchain AI.” Join industry experts in Confidential Computing as they explore how Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are revolutionizing AI and data-driven collaboration, with a special focus on Super Protocol’s impactful contributions.
Mike Bursell (Executive Director, Confidential Computing Consortium):
Open Source as the Foundation of Trust:
Mike emphasizes that “Magic pixie dust to all of these is open source because you need to know that the software which is guaranteed seeing all of this stuff has been correctly written and there are no people trying to exfiltrate your data or do evil stuff with these keys as you go along…….. without that you just don’t get the scale taking off, that’s really important.“
Simplifying Complex Technologies:
Mike also highlights the importance of abstracting complex technologies like TEEs to make them accessible to users without deep technical expertise. “That’s exactly what companies like Super Protocol are doing and the sort of thing that we are encouraging in the Confidential Computing Consortium as well. So, reducing the friction, bringing it to users who don’t need to know the really low-level detail- it does get very, very techy very, very quickly…“
Nukri Basharuli (Founder and CEO, Super Protocol):
Effective Collaboration Among Companies:
Nukri Basharuli points out “the last McKinsey report says 90% of large and medium companies want to collaborate based on their data. But at the same time, there are two opposite vectors: on one side, you need to collaborate on data with your partners, even with your direct competitors – to observe the market, to find insights, and to grow. But at the same time, you need to prevent these leakages and risks of cannibalization of each other. That’s why verifiable and confidential computing gives us opportunities to make this collaboration effective and provable.”
Accessibility of TEEs:
Nuri discusses Super Protocol’s development of a “ready-made AI & Data Marketplace within a confidential cloud based on TEE. “In just a few clicks, you will be able to launch your model, upload your model from our Marketplace or from Hugging Face, in a fully private decentralized environment. Just a few clicks – deploy a smart contract and… this is why we are building Super: to make this road as easy as possible for millions of projects developing billions of personal AI agents based on personal data for businesses, private needs, and so on…….And you can make this connection verifiable for all participants – that’s why this is a big difference and next is that everything behind smart contracts in Super is governed only by smart contracts – all services, all computation services, 100% of services are governed only by smart contracts. This is another difference from a centralized cloud which is governed by an administrator or owner of the service.”
David Attermann (Head of Web3 Investments, M31 Capital):
Growth of the Confidential Computing Market:
David Attermann predicts: “The confidential computing market is expected to grow 50% annually for the next 10 years. The demand for it is real, and it’s becoming a major industry now. Within Web3, TEEs have gained momentum as the most practical way to verify compute. For the next five years, TEEs will likely serve as the foundation for all verifiable compute in Web3.
Unique Capabilities of Super Protocol:
David also notes that “even without an interest in cryptocurrencies, one can appreciate the unique functionalities offered by Super Protocol.“
