Phala Moves to Ethereum

In December 2024, Phala Network proposed to terminate the Khala chain and migrate Phala Network to Ethereum, indicating a strategic move to align with cutting-edge technologies and optimize operations, making it a significant milestone in 2024 for Phala. As the planned disruption by Intel of SGX-IAS support in 2025 will render Khala workers obsolete, migrating to Ethereum ensures that Phala can leverage advanced platforms such as Intel TDX and Nvidia GPUs to perform secure and high-performance computations. This transition consolidates the Phala ecosystem into a unified infrastructure, eliminating redundancy and improving scalability.

By implementing a Layer 2 (L2) network and a TEE marketplace on Ethereum, Phala strengthens its interoperability and deepens collaboration with the Ethereum ecosystem, while the introduction of an Ethereum Vault contract modernizes staking and asset management.

Integration of Ai16z TEE

The collaboration with a16z to create the Eliza TEE framework is a historic achievement for Phala in 2024, as Eliza has become the leading open-source AI agent framework for Web3 developers. This partnership highlights Phala's role in advancing privacy-preserving AI by integrating its Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology into Eliza's multi-agent framework. Eliza enables the deployment of autonomous AI agents with consistent personalities on platforms like Discord, Twitter, and Telegram, offering cutting-edge features such as a RAG memory system, media analysis, document processing, and autonomous trading. By leveraging Phala's TEE, these capabilities gain cryptographic verifiability and enhanced privacy, ensuring secure and trustworthy interactions. This milestone solidifies Phala's position as a leader in secure AI infrastructure while fostering innovation in decentralized multi-agent AI systems.
