I mean, you could talk to Dawn whenever she's in Soda to find out what they plan to do with the startup, you know...

I looked all over the site for a technical paper. For someone who isn’t in Berkeley, what are they doing? I’d be curious if it was ZK for obvious reasons but I’d also be surprised. Please please tell me it’s not “connecting SGX to a Blockchain”.

Replying to @matthew_d_green @ncweaver
I believe the startup is based off of Ekiden: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.05141 AFAIK they aren't doing ZK stuff, but some complicated stuff involving coordinating multiple SGX machines

Yes, I’m familiar with Ekiden. The complicated stuff seems very similar to some of our earlier work. They cited one of our papers but not the more directly relevant one. This makes me sad. https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/201

But forgetting about the research complaints, surely they know what a terrible time this is to build a system that depends heavily on SGX security?

my impression: most about tech to outsource ML/big-compute-jobs to 3rd-party cloud providers, via TEEs, w/out leaking proprietary code/data; even if SGX flawed at moment, won't that be remedied in time, & then such tech mega-valuable to all the biggest corps/govs in world?

at one level, who cares if there's a little extra blockchain hand-waving atop otherwise sufficient cloud-computing tech? but at another, maybe tech allows a tiny smart contract on public blockchain to request, verify execution, & settle payment for massive confidential jobs?

The blockchain stuff lets you raise 45 million from investors when the correct and reasonable amount for an experimental enclave computing tech would be 4.5 million.

It's a reasonable 10x discount due to the funding being in fiat currency
