Automata partners with Puffer Finance to advance decentralized security with TEE
The essence of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) lies in their ability to offer inherent confidentiality and integrity guarantees for systems. While a single TEE provides a solid foundation for security, the potential to amplify these benefits through a network of multiple TEEs offers an increased level of protection.
As outlined by EigenLayer, the establishment of a decentralized network of TEEs, or a TEE Committee, introduces robust security guarantees that surpass the capabilities of standalone TEEs.
This approach ensures that an adversary faces an uphill task to compromise the system, having to breach the trust models of multiple TEE providers. Such a requirement drastically reduces the risk of significant collusion and acts against the network’s interests, thus providing a formidable barrier against potential threats.
Pioneering a new era of decentralized security with Puffer
Automata is excited to announce Puffer as a partner to co-develop an actively validated service (AVS) on EigenLayer, focusing on TEE Committees. The imminent launch of the EigenLayer mainnet presents an opportunity for a shared security ecosystem, allowing any distributed system (or AVS) to tap into Ethereum’s decentralized and programmable trust.
Puffer emerges as an ideal partner in this venture with their expertise in Intel SGX through their Secure Signer tool. This tool is pivotal in managing validator keys and preventing slashable offenses, aligning perfectly with our TEE-centric innovations such as the TEE Prover with Scroll and TEE Block Builder.
Furthermore, our collaboration aims to explore the future of decentralized security solutions, including the development of innovative AVSs featuring anti-slashers, confidential compute products, and bespoke TEE committees.
Collaborating to chart the future of security
Digital landscapes are constantly under threat, and the need for robust security solutions has never been more critical.
Our joint efforts with Puffer will delve deeper into the realms of TEE Committees and decentralized security. Together, we are setting the stage for a safer digital future, ensuring that integrity, confidentiality, and trust are not just ideals, but realities for all.
About Automata Network
Automata Network is a modular attestation layer that extends machine-level trust to Ethereum by leveraging optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs in its Proof of Machinehood approach. The application-specific rollup allows on-chain verification for out-of-protocol computation, which creates an unbroken chain of trust that extends upwards through the entire Web3 stack.

About Puffer Finance
Puffer is the first native Liquid Restaking Protocol (nLRP) built on EigenLayer. It introduces native Liquid Restaking Tokens (nLRTs) that accrue PoS and restaking rewards. Nodes within the protocol leverage Puffer’s anti-slashing technology to enjoy reduced risk and increased capital efficiency, while supercharging their rewards through native restaking exposure.
