Since Phala began its journey in 2019, our ecosystem has grown rapidly. Over 180k people have joined Phala communities to explore products and participate in various campaigns passionately. We are grateful to be a part of your life, without your contribution, Phala would not be able to have these achievement in the past.

In 2022, Phala will concentrate on mainnet launch, product optimization, and ecosystem growth. We are excited to show you our vision and goals on Fat Contract and Web 3 cloud etc.

Overview of Phala’s 2022

Q1. FAT CONTRACT

💻 Development

Fat Contract — V1

A kind of decentralized program complementary to the smart contract, which supports real-time compute-intensive tasks and has the access to all the services even if they are out of the blockchains.

In Q1, it is expected to:

  • Support Parity Ink!
  • Provide Javascript SDK for contract interactions

➤ Mainnet

Phala will launch its mainnet in Q1 despite the result of bidding on the second batch of Polkadot slot auctions.

With this launch, we will have:

  • Tokenomics upgrade
  • Secure Mining System parameters adjustment
  • Phala App optimization

🔧 Products

Phala World — NFT

Phala World (PW) is a Metaverse based on the Phala Network blockchain and it is one of the best applications build on Fat Contract.

In Q1, we will launch the NFTs and have sales & Airdrop.

➤ XCM & ChainBridge

As a lightweight, low-cost, trustless bridges leveraging XCM and Phala’s TEE-based computing technology, ChainBridge aims to extend this open-source technology to any blockchains, which is expected to provide a path for a large quantity of the liquidity of market value into the Polkadot ecosystem for usecases in smart contracts, DeFi, DEXes etc.

🌍 Ecosystem

➤ Render Service For 3D NFT — MVP

Render Service For 3D NFT is a decentralized servers farm for:

  • Rendering service for NFTs and Metaverse
  • Web3 Back-End as Service via Fat Contract

Blender has the powerful technology to provide Web3 rendering services. At present, Phala is already working on a demo that runs the Blender renderer in its Secure Workers. In 2022 Q1, the Phala team will launch its MVP version.

➤ Web3 Analytics — MVP

https://3analytics.io/, an ecosystem development team, will lead Web3 Analytics implementation. Phala mainly supports the underlying development, such as compatibility with Arweave.

By combining Fat Contract and AR technology, Web3 Analytics will enhance its ability and launch MVP version in Q1.

H1. THE PHALA BOOM

💻 Development

➤ Fat Contract — V2

Compared to Fat Contract V1, the Phala tech team will accomplish these three major updates in H1 to bring this killer application of Phala blockchain to a new stage:

  • ​​Side VM: async task & HTTP requests
  • Native VM: the off-chain sandbox for unmodified x86 binaries
  • Supply-end tokenomics

➤ Cloud System Updates

  • SGX DCAP
  • Decouple SGX
  • PRB V2 — Productionize
  • SOP for Miner ecosystem

🌍 Ecosystem

➤ Render Service for 3D NFT — Official Ver.

With its launch, Phala can support the rendering of 3D in any blender format.

➤ Kusama New Slot Auction

The lease of the Kusama slot will expire in July 2022. To provide trustless computing service to the Kusama ecosystem continuously, Khala, the canary network of Phala intends to participate in the new round of Kusama slot auction with a new strategy.

H2. MEET WEB3 CLOUD

💻 Development

➤ Web3 Cloud Infrastructure

  • Global network QoS
  • Map-reduce Framework
  • Scale Message Queue & State
  • Decentralized storage integration

➤ AMD SEV Integration

Phala is known for its critical security system guaranteed by the Intel SGX. However, Phala will introduce the AMD SEV to the security system in H2, which symbolizes that Phala Secure Worker enters a decentralized and trustless era completely.

➤ Fat Contract — V3

The keyword of this version is “High Scalability”. Empowered by this feature, the flexibility of Fat Contract will be improved exponentially.

🔧 Products

➤ Phala World — ​​Beta

If Phala World’s NFTs are the keys to opening the door of the magic native metaverse of Phala, the game will be the tipping point of the Phala ecosystem’s prosperity. The Beta version of Phala World will be developed & launched on the most popular metaverse!

🌍 Ecosystem

➤ Render Service for 3D NFT — Game Server Cloud Service

➤ Web3 Cloud Hub

About Phala

Phala Network tackles the issue of trust in the computation cloud.

By organizing a decentralized network of computation nodes around the world, it offers high-performance services without relying on any cloud vendor. Phala workers run the programs in Secure Enclaves, a privacy technology already embedded into modern processors, enabling versatile and confidential execution. Together, this creates the infrastructure for a powerful, secure, and scalable trustless computing cloud.
