Phala Network at ETHDenver 2022

The concept of Web3 has attracted major attention in the past moths. The bull market is coming and we will witness a war between web2 and web3. Phala, as one of the most competitive Web3 cloud projects, is working hard to optimize and implement its core products. We aim to serve as a high-performance cloud services to all the blockchains and enterprises with privacy.
—— Marvin Tong, Co-founder of Phala Network

Phala Network is honored to be participating in the 3rd ETHDenver, Feb 15–16th in Denver, Colorado.

With the many talented hackers, Web3.0 system thinkers and blockchain enthusiasts from around the world attending Denver Blockchain Week, there come opportunities to expand one’s knowledge about blockchain projects across the ecosystem. ETHDenver provides that medium for us all to attend workshops or technical talks from the top minds in blockchain technology and empower us all to continue to build with new tools or skills we learn along the way.

Phala at ETHDenver

Phala plans to approach a question not mentioned often at this year ETHDenver: What does the Web3 infrastructure look like beyond today’s smart contract? At Phala Network’s workshop on Feb 15th at 11 am, we address the question with the development of our Fat Contracts and Web3 computing cloud.

Today’s development of Web3 and Metaverse raises new requirements on the blockchain infrastructure. A trend of running heavy-weight applications like real-time rendering and game servers on decentralized computing services is emerging.

We show how Phala provides trustless computing service of over tens of thousands of nodes, and present the Fat Contract which intends to serve compute-intensive and low-latency applications which have never been executed on-chain. With its Internet access ability, you are free to utilize any existing Web2 services with tens of lines of contract code, making it a perfect choice to connect the Web2 and Web3 world.

What is a Fat Contract?

A new type of smart contract product that focuses on serving Web3 back-end function-level services.

The Fat Contract is designed for the following use cases:

For low latency requirements, such as in multiplayer online games
Scenarios of off-chain interoperation, such as Oracle, decentralized chat, or communication services (Telegram or email)
Scenarios where privacy matters, such as data market platform
Large-scale real-time computing programs, such as Metaverse, games, NFT rendering, artificial intelligence (recommendation engine, etc.)
