Privacy projectiExec: Confidential compute network. Technology: trusted execution environments (TEEs).
iExec has been running decentralized confidential computing since 2017, with a network of trusted-execution nodes and a data-governance layer that lets someone monetize access to a dataset without ever handing over the data itself. That combination of confidential compute plus enforceable usage rules is a more complete answer than either half alone, and the project has sustained it across many years and several hardware generations. The guarantees rest on the enclave vendors underneath, which is the standing trade in trusted hardware.

What is trusted execution environment?
Computation runs inside an isolated hardware enclave whose contents the host operating system cannot read, under a hardware-trust assumption.
How it compares with the other approaches on latency, trust assumptions and fit is set out, with sources, in the technology taxonomy.
