These developments transitioned the network from a Polkadot parachain-based model to an Ethereum Layer-2 that enables access to TEE-based computation. With over 1,000 Confidential Virtual Machines deployed, Phala demonstrated early product-market fit among teams building AI agents and privacy-sensitive applications. The network also grew operationally, with a 72.2% increase in Phala Worker Nodes and a 23.2% rise in delegators following the sunset of Khala. Partnership momentum continued across agent frameworks, security protocols, and GPU-backed computing. Notable integrations — including GoPlus, xNomadAI, NOTAI, and Fairblock — showcased how Phala’s TEE infrastructure can support verifiable offchain agents and private computation at scale. With the new Ethereum-based rollup and hardware-aligned architecture, Phala is positioned to serve as a foundational layer for confidential A...
