Thrilled to be part of the OpenBuild Hacker House during @EthCC 🇫🇷 Mark your calendars for our Oyster workshop on decentralizing server infrastructure, happening on the 18th 🦪 If you're in town, don't miss out!

No one talks about decentralizing infra until servers go down.

We’re serving up a delectable dish for DAOs to achieve secure and efficient decentralization of their infrastructure with Oyster 🦪 Itadakimasu! 🍽️

dApps with decentralized infra have the highest probability of surviving the test of time.

GM buidlers! Marlin will be in Paris 🇫🇷 during EthCC and the many side events. We're excited to share more about our ZK proof marketplace and how Web 3 can decentralize their infra with Oyster 🦪 If you're in town during the week, slide into our DMs or reach out on Discord. We'd love to meet 🐟 Spread the word:

Earlier, we explored Oyster's networking stack (here and here) and saw how Oyster provides internet connectivity to and from the enclave. In this thread, we see how to secure such connections so data sent over them is private and tamperproof.

Figment Capital's latest piece on decentralized proving covers Marlin’s ZK prover marketplace! Here are the key takeaways: - With the rise of ZK apps, a phenomenal increase in ZK-proof generation is expected. - ZK proof generation can be resource intensive, expensive and tediously slow. Proofs can be computed at the client side (by users themselves) or on the server side (via hosted or decentralized solutions). - Server-side proofs can be generated either by prover networks or proof markets and while initially centralized, ZK apps are looking to decentralize proof generation and coming to the realization that it can be outsourced. - Enter Marlin’s ZK prover marketplace: a platform for apps and protocols to offload proof generation (including private computations secured by enclaves) to a decentralized prover network.

Dive in:https://twitter.com/MarlinProtocol/status/1654891339333419009 In our previous thread, we saw how Oyster provides internet connectivity to enclave applications. In this thread, we do the opposite - enable applications outside the enclave to connect to servers running inside the enclave.

Nitro Enclaves do not have a traditional IP-based networking stack that can connect to the Internet. Instead, it can communicate only with the host instance through a vsock interface. So, how does Oyster provide internet connectivity to support web services then?

The @arbitrum grant of 257,540 ARB tokens will be sent to Marlin at 0x852287dbd6bc735e473c5549df969d30dd0401fb Marlin has been with Arbitrum since its early days and we look forward to its continued evolution!

Here's a little sneak peek into some of the UI mock-ups for Oyster, the serverless backend for Web 3 👀 The goal is to make the process of onboarding infra providers and users as simplistic and intuitive as possible, leaving the complex stuff where they belong, in the backend 😉
