Subnet 42: Secure Data Infrastructure with TEE

Subnet 42 is evolving to provide industry-leading security and data integrity through Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology. This upgrade represents a significant advancement in how we handle sensitive data and execute trusted computations.

What is TEE in Subnet 42?

TEE creates an isolated, secure environment where code can run completely protected from outside interference. For Subnet 42, this means:

  • Enhanced Data Privacy: All data processing occurs in an encrypted enclave
  • Verifiable Computations: Validators can cryptographically verify that miners are running unmodified code
  • Tamper-Proof Execution: Even system administrators cannot access or modify data inside the TEE
  • Secure Key Management: Cryptographic keys and sensitive credentials are protected within the enclave

Why TEE Matters for Subnet 42

The integration of TEE technology enables several key benefits:

Data Integrity

Ensures X/Twitter data scraping and processing cannot be tampered with

Credential Protection

Securely manages API keys and authentication tokens

Trust Verification

Provides cryptographic proof that miners are running authorized code

Getting Started

To participate in Subnet 42, you’ll need to set up a TEE-compatible environment. We currently support Azure’s confidential computing infrastructure.
