The Attesteer: A Novel Remote Attestation Service

Our novel remote attestation service empowers developers and companies who are leveraging TEEs with the benefits of decentralization. By using a public blockchain to verify the remote attestation of TEEs, we are breaking ground towards true public auditability. Long gone are the days when you had to trust your cloud provider. Want to know more about our recently launched solution? Read the full article on it here and check the specs.

Encointer’s New Proof-of-Personhood Badge

It’s likely that everyone has heard the words “bots” or “fake news”. All around the world, people get paid to either install bots that act as humans online, write fake reviews, alter vote results, or participate in some fraudulent activity of some kind. Web3 project Encointer is coming up with something to help mitigate these: enter their proof-of-personhood badge.

Built on Integritee, it basically authenticates the ownership of an online account, linking it to the owner. With all the necessary info stored and processed via blockchain, people can receive a badge on their social media accounts to prove that they are controlled by a unique individual. Read all about it here.

Freshly Baked Content

From compelling and informative videos to poignant and thought-provoking articles, our content team has been typing away and creating cool content. Last August, we published three videos from our TEE series, where we explain what these are, and how they work, but also explore some of the most popular technologies and lay out some use cases — check them here.

In the middle of the month, we published an article that discusses Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), delves into their main issues, and benefits, and explores concepts such as fairness, privacy in voting, and many other things. Didn’t get the chance to read it yet? Here you go.
