VELA

VELA provides a Private Vault for Web3 Apps and is a chain-agnostic confidential coprocessor. Applications execute inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), where every computation is cryptographically attested and no operator, competitor, or cloud provider can access the data. Regulators can verify compliance through cryptographic proof without requiring access to the underlying information.

How do I get started

VELA is still in development but open to be used and tested by developers.

You will find the following starter kit for a full understanding of its current state as well as its working components, and instructions on how to start a fully working local environment:
https://github.com/HorizenOfficial/vela-starterkit

All of the working repositories are public and are ready for you to use in order for the Horizen team to collect feedback:

Limitations

Not yet deployed to production environments.

Limited to a local development setup using Docker.

TEE environment is emulated on local environment - Once you have a running prototype we can provide dedicated AWS nitro instances on Horizen chain for your team upon request.

Only one WASM application can be deployed into the environment.

Our team is currently working on

Multiple wasm app support.

Self deployment of application on testnet.

One testnet environment for all users.

ERC-20 token support

More deanonimization controls.

Our team will be notifying users anytime updates and new features are deployed.

Feedback

We want to hear from you as we actively build out VELA. Please notify our team of any issues you encounter as well as any features you would like for your application. Our roadmap will be influenced by what we hear from all of you and will help us prioritize whats important for builders.
