Ekiden integrates blockchain and TEEs for confidential and efficient smart contracts.

Abstract

Although smart contracts inherit the availability and other security assurances of the blockchain, they are impeded by lack of confidentiality and poor performance. We present Ekiden, a system that aims to close these critical gaps by combining the blockchain with trusted execution environments.
