Threshold Access Control x Marlin
Decentralized compute needs decentralized back-ups.
When TEEs go down, that could mean the irreversible loss of all data encrypted with its private keys โ e.g. a model's training weights, an orderbook's unfulfilled trades, or sensitive end-user data.
From today, mainnet TACo nodes will independently enforce conditional access to TEE root keys, abiding by a 16-of-30 threshold.
This is a first-of-its-kind layering of distinct trust-minimizing technologies, combining enclaves remote attestations a battle-tested, cryptoeconomically-secured network of nodes executing cryptographic primitives.
In yet another pioneering development, we introduce the first Distributed Key Generation (DKG) ceremony to hold a TEEโs root key amongst 30 nodes in collaboration with

TLDR. root keys of AI agents are now secured by not just 3, 5 or 7 but 30 nodes ๐คฏ
