Horizen has introduced Vela, a confidential compute layer designed to enable private, verifiable execution on the Horizen Chain. Built on a "blind operator" architecture, Vela utilizes Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to isolate application logic and data at the hardware level, ensuring that even network operators cannot observe the computation. For developers, this infrastructure offers a way to build regulatory compliant, privacy first applications using familiar languages like Go and Rust or any language that compiles to WebAssembly (WASM). https://blog.horizen.io/introducing-vela-the-confidential-compute-layer-on-horizen
