Messari Report on DeCC ft. iExec as the Web3's privacy layer

iExec is featured in one of Messari’s most comprehensive reports to date, and the first of its kind on DeCC.

Messari’s latest report maps the rise of Decentralized Confidential Computing (DeCC), spanning TEEs, Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and more.

🛠️ iExec is spotlighted under the TEE category, alongside top infrastructure players like Marlin Protocol, Phala Network, Secret Network, and TEN, recognized for its production-ready confidential computing stack supporting both CPU and GPU.

Here’s what iExec brings to the DeCC landscape:

  • Confidential computing with TEEs (Intel SGX, TDX) and NVIDIA CCA
  • Developer tools for AI, DeFi, RWA, and big data
  • Plug-and-play SDKs and iApp deployment pipelines
  • Vouchers to facilitate token usage and cost management
  • A 1M RLC Ecosystem Fund to support adoption
  • Evolving tokenomics to power a circular builder economy

The report concludes that no single privacy technology is enough. DeCC is composable. TEEs, ZKPs, FHE, and others must work together to meet real-world demand and unlock the missing privacy layer for web3.

iExec contributes production-grade infrastructure to this growing stack, making privacy practical, scalable, and ready to build with.
