Ari Juels, a computer science professor at Cornell Tech who coauthored the new research paper but is not affiliated with Oasis Labs, says the approach is the most practical way to make more useful smart-contract applications possible. Without the help of trusted hardware, he argues, blockchains may not “realize their full potential.”

The cryptocurrency world is overflowing with big claims, but Song is a well-known computer science professor at UC Berkeley and a MacArthur fellow (as well as one of MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35 in 2009). And a number of big-name funders seem to think her company, Oasis Labs, is on to something. This week, the startup announced that it has raised $45 million in a private token presale to a group of high-profile cryptocurrency investors and Silicon Valley venture capitalists. It also became the first project to get backing from Andreessen Horowitz’s new $300 million crypto fund.
Song says Oasis Labs has developed new “privacy preserving” smart-contract technology that overcomes fundamental limitations of today’s most popular smart-contract platform, Ethereum. She and several colleagues described a major component of the system in a recently published research paper (PDF).

OP has no idea what he is talking about. Eikiden is about the privacy and performance of smart contracts.

private slack member here. Ari has always been a somewhat reluctant member of the team but there was an awkward conversation between Ari and Steve that got deleted a few nights ago It seem's there are philosophical differences and Ari has been working on Ekiden for several months without the knowledge of Sergey. Despite what OP claims, Ari is absolutely affiliated with Oasis Labs. I didn't manage to screencap before the exchange between him and Steve got deleted but there's been no activity in the slack since. You wouldn't believe what could be about to take place over the course of the next year.

Have you even read the whitepaper??
We present Ekiden, a system that addresses these critical gaps
by combining blockchains with Trusted Execution Environments
(TEEs). Capable of operating on any desired blockchain, Ekiden
permits concurrent, off-chain execution of smart contracts within
TEE-backed compute nodes, yielding high performance, low cost,
and confidentiality for sensitive data.
