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.
Jayden Davis
Wtf is this shit
Nathan Peterson
Rest in shit, shitlinkers

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.

fuggg I literally bought my first linkies today and the cryptojews are gonna capture all of the fuel for the fucking derivatives market
Can a link marine please tell me the partnerships mean something. I will literally take anything
Angel Hernandez
this is nothing to do with link. state of no linkers. if anything it's an Ethereum competitor, and guess what, LINK could work on it l.
Bentley Nguyen
I don't know man, if you can count on anything it's those in power monopolising opportunities like this. If they didn't have to rely on decentralisation they wouldn't. I don't know if this project is going to kill link, but it seems more real than any other potential competitor.

>by combining blockchains with Trusted Execution Environments
So basically we have to trust that intel SGX isn't pre-compromised like all other intel security shit

Ari Jules? He’s Rory’s dad. He’s got a problem with Sergey because when Rory and Sergey were friends when they were younger, Sergey used to raid the cupboards and eat everything in the house. It cost Ari a lot of money to replace all the food Sergey used to eat. The final straw was when Sergey was staying at Rory’s one night and stole his car when they were 15 to sneak out to a McDonald’s drivethru. Rory’s dad Ari thinks Sergey is a bad influence on his son and does anything he can to stop them being friends or working together. Why do you think we haven’t heard from Sergey in so long? Ari has been staying with Rory and Sergey has been in hiding shitting his pants.

Link btfo. So glad I never bought into this scam.
All my bitcoin is ready to buy this new projec which will succeed.

Jace Adams
How stupid can you really be? If you don't get it by now, there is no way you would even understand that chainlink is about data integrity and reliability.
Hudson Torres
But you can also watch Ari's keynote speech from a few months back. In that talk, he briefly describes what Ekiden is and it does not have anything to do with what chainlink aspires to.
Jack Hill
Is there a point to ENG when zk starks and such are coming? Combined with stuff like iexec, it shouldn't be hard to do everything that ENG wants to do.
Unlike ethereum, ENG seems to have a lot of credible competition.

>Ekiden relies on compute nodes that use trusted hardware to perform smart contract computation over private data off chain, then attest to their correct execution onchain. The underlying blockchain is maintained by consensus nodes, which need not use trusted hardware. It is agnostic to consensus-layer mechanics, only requiring that the blockchain is capable of validating remote attestations from compute nodes.
They aim for the same service as chainlink, but use different terminology, e.g. the 'nodes' one.
Cameron Sanchez
This is actually legit and stinkies have no way to combat this. They're so balls deep in a failing project relying on Pajeet pumps to momentarily feel good about themselves.
I feel sorry for you goys.
Dylan Cook
This is a subset of what chain link does. If it does that smaller chunk of functionality cheaper, the ceiling for Cal's price falls and it becomes useful as an oracle but not necessarily as a smart contract execution platform.
Hopefully, the headstart with big partners and public ico are enough to give chain link a head start on gaining a network effect, so that those who have to choose a smart contract platform will find chain link to be the one that offers greater value.
Bet there's gonna be a pump and dump from private oasis presale token holders onto the public. They've already got the marketing started to dump on normies, not sure that does anything for the project- Accord, swift, etc. aren't gonna be sold on chain link through medium articles and the mit technology review saying the founder won their 35 under 35 for "innovation". Normies eat that shit up, though.
Jaxon Ortiz
Have these silicon valley types invested in any crypto that ended up being useful?
Seems like Tim invested in datawallet which got shilled here relentlessly for week.
Then there was basis token which seems like silicon valley investors with money want to be the latest "me too" in STABLR COINS FUCK YEAH BLOCKCHAINS AM I RIGHT, rather than presenting anything new.
Now here, silicon valley money behind "Oasis". It does SMART CONTRACTS FUCK YEAH BLOCKCHAINS AM I RIGHT.
And remember fucking req was what? $1 once?
Maybe the founder is earnest but I bet the money behind the project wants to pump this shit and make an exit.
Tyler Watson
You bought during the pump and soon will come the dump , that is it. Of course I am not perfect either , I bought at 0.0069 ETH and sold at 0.0074 ETH , when I could have sold at 0.0085 ETH. Anyway I don' think Link is gonna be that expensive in the future , or useful , think about it , the price is gonna derive from the actual users of the service , and currently you got none , only speculators holding Link , hoping its worth would be bigger than the current price or that the price would go up due to other speculators.
