Phala Network is a privacy-focused blockchain project that provides confidential smart contracts and verifiable computation for the web3 ecosystem. It utilizes Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in CPUs to protect sensitive data and code, ensuring that smart contract execution remains private and secure.
Phala Network is built to be a part of the Web 3.0 infrastructure, offering decentralized and secure off-chain compute capabilities. It aims to enhance the functionality and security of smart contracts within the web3 ecosystem.
Phala operates as a parachain on the Polkadot network. Parachains are custom blockchains that connect to the main Polkadot Relay Chain, enabling interoperability and collaboration with other projects in the Polkadot ecosystem.
PHA is the native utility token of the Phala Network ecosystem. It is used to pay transaction fees, access privacy services, incentivize network use, and can be staked on the network for rewards.
