🚨 Early release documentation for Flare Confidential Compute!
Let me set expectations clearly: we are preparing for a soft release in which TEEs will be introduced as part of this broader system. There is no public code yet, but I highly recommend learning more about it now.
The TLDR is that Flare Confidential Compute gives Flare a way to safely handle the parts of blockchain applications that are difficult or impractical to do fully onchain.
Instead of forcing everything into a smart contract, Flare can send certain jobs to secure machines called TEEs, where sensitive logic and private keys can be handled safely. Those machines can then return signed results that Flare can trust and use.
On top of that, FCC includes Protocol Managed Wallets (PMWs), which allow Flare-triggered logic to safely sign and execute transactions on other blockchains such as XRPL or Bitcoin, as well as a faster TEE-based version of FDC for data attestations.
The simple mental model is this: Flare contracts request an action, secure TEE machines perform the sensitive work, and FCC makes the result usable onchain or across chains.
