TIP

What is TEE Integrity Proof?

Tee Integrity Prover (TIP) is an innovative solution designed to ensure that Web3 applications and tools operate securely and as intended. By leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), TIP provides real-time integrity monitoring, ensuring that applications remain unaltered and free from tampering.

🚧 Current Status: In Development TIP is actively being developed to bring verifiable computation to blockchain-based ecosystems, ensuring secure execution of critical processes in a trust-minimized manner.

Concept: How TIP Works

TEE Integrity Proof enables continuous integrity checks of smart contracts, applications, and off-chain processes running inside Intel SGX-powered enclaves. It operates by:

1️⃣ Secure Execution – Critical operations run inside TEEs, isolated from external threats. 2️⃣ Cryptographic Attestation – Enclaves generate proof that their code hasn’t been tampered with. 3️⃣ On-Chain Verification – TIP records these proofs on the blockchain, ensuring transparency. 4️⃣ Decentralized Validators – A network of independent nodes verifies these integrity proofs.

Why TIP Matters?

🟧 Ensures Code Integrity – Verifies that executed code matches its open-source counterpart. 🟧 Protects Against Tampering – Even privileged system administrators cannot alter enclave-protected computations. 🟧 Decentralizes Trust – Shifts security from centralized verification models to cryptographic proofs. 🟧 Optimized for Web3 – Works with dApps, sequencers, provers, and indexers to enhance security.

Use Cases

🔸 Decentralized Finance (DeFi) – Secure execution of financial transactions without centralized risk. 🔸 On-Chain Governance – Verifiable execution of governance mechanisms. 🔸 Data Provenance & Storage – Proof that off-chain data has not been altered. 🔸 Verifiable zk-Provers – Secure computation of zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs inside TEEs.

What’s Next?

TIP is under active development, with ongoing work to refine its architecture, attestation mechanisms, and decentralized verifier network. Stay tuned for updates on its rollout and integration into Ternoa’s zkEVM ecosystem.
