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.
