The story of Super Protocol — how we got here

Confidential computing started gaining traction only recently yet had quite the road already. We should know since our founder and CEO, Nukri Basharuli, was there from the beginning. In fact, our story begins with his story.

Nukri pre-Super Protocol

Nukri’s vast experience in confidential computing manifested itself when he founded Aggregion, the first-ever platform to use Intel SGX for the distribution and licensing of digital archives. Its method for transparent and automated licensing of digital items quickly gained demand among such industry giants as Pearson, Skyeng, and Disney.

In 2018, Nukri’s team launched Aggregion 2.0, which now could serve as a decentralized environment for secure database processing. Already in 2018, it allowed the control over and use of data among multiple parties in all sorts of ways that had no risk of loss or of unauthorized changes of data. This drew the delight of many clients in the financial, telecom, and other industries with a lot of data to process.

Super Protocol

By late 2020, it was clear to Nukri that a standalone decentralized platform specifically for fully confidential computing was necessary. So in 2021, he created Super Protocol to bring cloud computing to Web3 using confidential computation technology. To execute on that goal, Super Protocol is using Intel SGX as the technological backbone.

While their cloud computing needs grow daily, companies have to heavily guard their data (personal information, trade secrets, sales and operational figures, etc. The few projects trying to bring decentralized cloud computing solutions to Web3 all fail to provide confidentiality, the lack of which makes cloud computing simply reckless for most companies and types of information. But thanks to Nukri being a pioneer of the confidential computing industry, Super Protocol finally achieved the full confidentiality of computing that so eluded others in Web3.

The path so far

In a year of existence, the Super Protocol team laid a lot of groundwork. Technologically, we combined blockchain technology with Confidential Computing to create the first Web3 Confidential Cloud Computing. To explain Super Protocol’s innovation in full detail, we have prepared the Whitepaper which is going to be published in parts during the following weeks and also we will publish our roadmap soon.

Current priorities

At this stage, the team is working on continuing the implementation of the DAO governance and Treasury management, the establishment of a marketplace for providers and customers of the platform, finalizing all the nuances of our tokenomics, the rating and penalty system to incentivize good behavior by all the participants of the platform, and on making our website even more functional and convenient to use. Of course, there are different sub-teams focused on each type of task. And community building is always a priority for the entire team.

Near future plans

We don’t want to look too far ahead at this time since we prefer to underpromise and overdeliver. But let’s take a look at our near-future plans. In Q3, we plan to do our public sale to get the early adopters on board and reward them for their clear vision and loyalty. This will be preceded by a launch of a bounty program planned for mid-May, again to reward those who put in the work and support us early. Community is everything.

We will of course continue to expand our integrations and scale our reach, including executing on our multichain strategy and more extensive implementations of what TEE technology is capable of doing.
