On Monday, the Secret Network announced via X that SCRT Labs has integrated Intel Trust Authority (ITA) directly into the SecretVM platform. The integration has three properties worth highlighting, because together they define the developer experience.
Every SecretVM now exposes an /ita_jwt endpoint that returns an Intel-signed attestation token on demand. There is no separate sign-up flow, no API key to provision, no SDK to integrate.
Furthermore, operators who want their VMs attested against their own ITA accounts and policies can add API keys directly in the SecretVM configuration.
The report_data field of each attestation token carries the fingerprint of the SecretVM's TLS certificate.
Secret Network is an interoperable blockchain infrastructure that aims to enable computational privacy for general-purpose smart contracts. Secret Network is a layer-1 blockchain built on Cosmos, which uses TEE technology to ensure all input, output, and state are encrypted by default. This hardware approach is the fastest and most efficient form of confidential computing. Its smart contracts are called Secret Contracts and allow decentralized applications to use private data on Secret, similar to how smart contracts operate on other blockchains. However, Secret Contracts are private by default.
Additionally, Secret Network has launched the Secret AI SDK, which uses TEE-enabled GPU hardware, integrated with the L1 blockchain, unlocking privacy-preserving decentralized AI. Secret AI allows for end-to-end encrypted LLM models and AI agents, unlocking private chatbots, DeFAI agents, proprietary AI business models, and more.
Through interoperability via Cosmos Inter Blockchain Communications standard and further integrations of Secret’s Confidential Computing Layer, it unlocks privacy-preserving smart contracts for public blockchains, including Ethereum, major EVM networks, and Solana. Making Secret Network the confidential computing hub of web3 and AI. SCRT is trading at $0.08047, down 1.25% in the last 24 hours.
