About Phala Network (PHA)

Part of the Polkadot ecosystem, Phala Network is a decentralized data storage network. Its creators describe their mission as "tackling the issue of trust in the computation cloud."

Privacy preservation challenges in an era of cloud computing have led to a push for Web3.0 innovations bent on eliminating third-party intermediaries such as Amazon and Google.

Phala Network boasts of being a community-driven, confidential smart contract network.

PHA is the network's native asset used for incentivizing security and facilitating governance.

The network is enabled by a TEE-Blockchain Hybrid Architecture.

It’s based on Substrate and it runs as a parachain of the Polkadot ecosystem.

According to its whitepaper, Phala supports cross-chain integration.
