What to Expect: TEE . salon Buenos Aires 6th Edition brings back the co-builders of the TEE ecosystem within Web3 communities. Expect to participate in lightning talks, technical deep dives (round tables), whiteboarding, and breakout workshops to showcase and co-design the future of TEEs. Strictly no shilling, business development, or marketing content. All product-level discussions should focus on use cases and architecture design insights, sharing experiences and learnings. Talks and workshops will be recorded and published unless requested by speakers.
Agenda Highlights: Kick start with an ecosystem mapping → an interactive sign-in game at the coffee station: Pin your project on the TEE map and sketch your hardened stack vision.
Vibes ~ “Why TEEs are the worst they’ll ever be?” IYKYK
- Vitalik Buterin’s latest roadmaps mark a pivotal milestone, acknowledging TEEs as a core component in Ethereum’s streamlined path to enhanced scaling and privacy.
- ERC-8004 Spotlight & Discussions: Inviting deep dives to fill TEE-specific gaps and standardize integrations.
- An unofficial standard for TEE verification and on-chain registries with an overview on ERC-8004’s technical limitations ;)))
- On-Chain TEE Registries & Governance: DStack KMS, Flashtestations
- Proof of Cloud: verifiable hardware registries protecting against physical attacks.
- ZK x FHE x MPC x TEE Hybrids Expansion: Sessions on Why Hybrids Win Over Pure TEEs.
- Secure hardware: The Trustless TEE Initiative.

Proof of Cloud: Data Center Execution Assurance for Confidential VMs
How do we prove that confidential VMs are running on the hardware and in the environment we think they are?
Explores data-center-level guarantees for confidential compute: attested hardware registries, physical-attack resistance, and what a “Proof of Cloud” primitive needs to look like for Web3. → Proof of Cloud: Data Center Execution Assurance for Confidential VMs - Google Slides

Lessons from On-chain KMS in DStack: Decentralized Root-of-Trust for Confidential Containers
On using DStack’s on-chain KMS as a decentralized root-of-trust for confidential containers: key lifecycle, policy, and how on-chain registries compose with TEEs → Lessons from Onchain KMS in dstack - Wenfeng

From Intel PCCS to On-chain Attestation: Inside Automata’s PCCS Contract
Walkthrough of Intel PCCS flows and how Automata pushes attestation logic on-chain to make TEE verification composable and transparent for smart contracts. → Slides

Attestations Alone Aren’t Enough: ROFL and the Trustless TEE Cloud
Why raw attestation proofs are insufficient for end-to-end trust. ROFL introduces composable layers for policy, routing, and accountability to move from “trusted TEEs” to a trustless TEE cloud. → Attestations Are Not Enough - Google Slides

Proof of Cloud Alliance: Verifiable Hardware for TEE Networks
How a shared alliance for verifiable hardware can prevent “phantom” TEEs and establish a cross-ecosystem baseline for secure hardware provenance. → Proof of Cloud Initiative - Google Slides

ERC-733: TEE Coprocessors for Ethereum
Positioning TEEs as coprocessors for Ethereum via ERC-733: how agents, rollups, and apps can rely on verifiable TEE-backed services without collapsing back into trusted custodians.

Why ERC-8004 & Agentic Coordination Will Make AI Smarter
How ERC-8004-style registries and TEE-verified agents unlock new coordination patterns between AI, rollups, and shared state—turning “agents on mainnet” from buzzword into measurable benchmarks.
18:40–19:10 – Fireside Chat: TEEs on EigenCompute
Chris Moller & Andrew Miller
A conversation on TEEs inside EigenCompute: what changes when the hardware assumptions, scheduling, and verification live inside a shared Eigenlayer context, and how this shapes future block-building and agent infra.
Apps Track (Application Layer)

Distributing TEEs for Integrity
Mechanisms and research directions for distributing TEEs such that integrity doesn’t collapse to a single vendor or box: redundancy, committee design, and protocol-level safety. → Distributing TEEs for Integrity - Google Slides
