TechFlow, April 17 — Nautilus, a powerful new addition to the Sui security toolkit, is now live on the Sui testnet. Built for Web3 developers, Nautilus enables sensitive or computationally expensive operations to be performed off-chain within self-managed, isolated, and tamper-proof Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). These TEEs generate cryptographic proofs to guarantee the integrity and authenticity of computations. Applications or users can then submit the results on-chain, where Move smart contracts verify the proofs before processing.
Developers can currently try Nautilus on the Sui testnet. The GitHub repository includes reproducible templates for building, deploying, and registering self-hosted AWS Nitro Enclaves, along with a reference application demonstrating the full workflow from generating trusted proofs to on-chain verification.
This release marks another key milestone for Sui in supporting privacy-preserving and verifiable off-chain computation, enabling the development of privacy-first secure applications—such as tamper-proof real-world data oracles, AI-inference-based autonomous agent workflows with on-chain traceability, hidden logic and metadata for fair-play Web3 games, and private identity verification without exposing user data.
