TEE technology creates a secure and isolated computing environment to resolve trust issues among communities, developers, and AI Agents. This article explores how Phala Network collaborates with top AI Agent projects to implement TEE in real-world use cases and plans to enhance its token economy to support more applications.

Recently, an exciting proposal that promises to solve the problem has been found, and we would like to talk about it — BuilderNet. But before that, let’s explore the current block building landscape on Ethereum and compare it to the impact that BuilderNet brings.

SOON Network introduces a Merkle tree structure within the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to address the issue of missing global state roots. This enhancement strengthens SVM's capabilities in integrity verification, fraud proofs, and cross-layer operations within the aggregation system. By embedding the state root directly into the SVM blockchain, SOON improves security and scalability, providing stronger support for SVM aggregation.
