Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Ekiden: A Platform for Confidentiality-Preserving, Trustworthy, and Performant Smart Contracts |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The Ekiden paper: smart contracts that execute inside trusted hardware, with the ledger checking attestations rather than re-executing the private code. Oasis Network is the later production system in this line. The paper is the academic statement of the approach. |
| Who may write | Raymond Cheng, Fan Zhang, Jernej Kos, Ari Juels, Andrew Miller, Dawn Song and collaborators |
| What is settled | Compute nodes produce attestations. Consensus nodes order and record results. The roles are split. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Trusted hardware is a trust assumption. Calling the result trustless is inaccurate. |
| What this library says afterwards | The paper is not an endorsement of any particular chip, and not a current Oasis status report. |
