Still wondering why we mention TEEs when talking confidentiality at OasisProtocol? Because Sapphire (Oasis Network’s confidential, EVM-compatible runtime) uses Intel SGX + remote attestation for verifiable privacy.
- SGX runs only trusted code; unauthorized code is blocked in hardware.
- Remote attestation proves the node runs the expected code; measured hashes catch any tampering.
- Users, dApps, and L1s can verify nodes before sending data trust is proven, not assumed.
- Contracts handle encrypted inputs/state/outputs; even validators can’t see them.
Use cases: on-chain ML with sensitive data, private DeFi, secure identity/messaging, unbiased RNG via randomBytes().
Plus, Oasis Privacy Layer lets Ethereum/any EVM app call confidential compute on Sapphire without leaving its chain.
TL;DR: TEEs (Intel SGX) + attestation = verifiable trust. Sapphire brings it to EVM.
