New TEE vulnerabilities just wrecked multiple blockchain networks.
But @OasisProtocol?
+ Zero impact
+ No downtime
+ No user risk
Here’s why Oasis stayed secure while others rushed for emergency fixes.
1/ The Incident
Researchers revealed 2 new physical attacks Battering RAM & Wiretap.
+ Intel SGX & AMD SEV-SNP compromised
+ Phala, Secret, Crust, IntegriTEE hit hard
+ Attestation keys + encrypted data exposed
2/ Why Oasis Stayed Safe
Oasis anticipated this threat years ago.
Architecture separates key access across nodes → no “single point of compromise.”
Key manager + Sapphire runtime use SGX v1, unaffected by the new attacks.
3/ Defense-in-Depth
Beyond TEEs, Oasis layers extra protection:
• Onchain governance (5M ROSE stake + approval)
• Ephemeral transaction keys (rotate each epoch)
• Dynamic CPU blacklist for rapid response
4/ The Big Difference
On other chains: TEE = ultimate gatekeeper.
On Oasis: TEE ≠ enough.
You still need governance approval, validator status & stake.
Even if enclaves fall, the system doesn’t.
5/ Conclusion
While others scramble, Oasis keeps running exactly as designed.
No disruption
No compromise
No action required from users
Defense-in-depth isn’t a buzzword. It’s why Oasis is still standing.
