10 Feb 2026DePIN for privacy compute: why supply differs from GPU DePINPrivacy compute needs TEEs or MPC, so supply is limited by attested hardware and operational security, unlike horizontally scalable GPU DePIN. Oasis runs 120 validators vs Render's 380,000+ GPU nodes, with a 3-8x price premium.ExplainerDePINPrivacy

11 Jul 2023Privacy stack reading map: ZK, HE and TEE primers plus leading privacy projectsArgues privacy will be a major narrative and indexes his primers on ZK proofs, homomorphic encryption and TEEs together with deep dives on eleven privacy projects, flagging DarkFi as the next one to cover.MapPrivacyZK

24 Apr 2023Top 5 privacy projects: Manta, Aztec, Secret, Aleo and ZcashPersonal top-five privacy list with a one-line positioning for each: Manta as a programmable privacy L1 on Substrate, Aztec as a private zk-rollup, Secret as a TEE-based Cosmos L1, Aleo as a Zcash and Ethereum hybrid, and Zcash as the zkSNARK pioneer.OtherPrivacyZK

29 Dec 2022Trusted Execution Environments explained: SGX, Phala and Secret NetworkExplains TEEs as isolated computation environments, often built on Intel SGX, and their role in privacy. Notes hardware cost and secure boot challenges, with Phala and Secret Network as live examples of confidential smart contracts.ExplainerPrivacy

27 Dec 2022Privacy and zk thread archive: Secret, Manta, Dusk and zkEVMsIndex of earlier privacy research: the privacy bull case, TEE infrastructure on Secret, Manta zk-tech with SNARKs, zk-enabled RegFi on Dusk, and the rise of the zkEVM.MapPrivacyZK
