Listen "#19 | Phala: TEE Finds PMF in AI"
Episode Synopsis
With Marvin Tong, Co-founder at Phala Network This week, we spoke with Marvin Tong, co-founder of Phala Network, about their mission to eliminate centralized trust from Web3 through cryptography and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Key takeaways include: Phala’s evolution, from a fully decentralized confidential cloud network to finding product-market fit with TEE-based services for developers and enterprises. TEE as a Web3 infrastructure, enabling off-chain computation with verifiability, used in AI, DeFi, and decentralized identity. The role of DStack, Phala Cloud, and TEE-as-a-service, providing accessible tools for developers to deploy secure computation environments. Phala 2.0 and the move to an OP-succinct Layer 2, making TEE more accessible for Ethereum developers while maintaining decentralization. AI and Web3, from verifiable inference to autonomous AI agents with secure on-chain interoperability—shaping the future of collective intelligence and unlocking new economic potential.LinksPhala's Website: https://phala.network/Marvin's X/Twitter: https://x.com/marvin_tongYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ingo_zkGitHub: https://github.com/ingonyama-zkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ingonyamaJoin us: https://www.ingonyama.com/career
