  • Aug 15, Phala’s new testnet Para-1 went live. This first “Para” series testnet is based on parachain mechanisms, replacing the original PoC series of testnets for Phala. Para-1 introduces our new Token Economics and the TEE mining mechanism for TEE Workers so that miners can experience and test StakePool functions using test coins. When the test ends, Phala will open a referendum on the new token economics for Khala. Read full announcement details here, or check out the live testnet here.

Activities & News

  • Aug 13, Phala was invited to join a panel at The Rising Star along with Acala, Bifrost, and Moonbeam. The headline was Witness the New Gameplay of DeFi in Kusama Ecosystem; on that subject, Phala CEO Marvin stressed that one of Phala’s priorities in our next stage is to fully enable cross-chain interactions between the parachains.

About Phala

Phala Network tackles the issue of trust in the computation cloud.

This blockchain is a trustless computation platform that enables massive cloud processing without sacrificing data confidentiality. Built around TEE-based privacy technology already embedded into modern processors, Phala Network’s distributed computing cloud is versatile and confidential. By separating the consensus mechanism from computation, Phala ensures processing power is highly scalable but not wasteful. Together, this creates the infrastructure for a powerful, secure, and scalable trustless computing cloud.

As a member parachain of the Polkadot cross-chain ecosystem, Phala will be able to provide computing power to other blockchain applications while protecting the data layer, enabling possibilities like privacy-protected DeFi trading positions and transaction history, co-computing DID confidential data, developing light-node cross-chain bridges, and more.

On-chain services currently being developed on Phala Network include Web3 Analytics: high-performance smart contracts from Phala to enable highly concurrent mass data analytics with privacy, paving the way for an alternative to Google Analytics that inherently respects individual confidentiality.
