Many Web3 projects launch to chase a narrative, not to build real infrastructure. Without genuine expertise and experience behind them, investor trust never follows. @iEx_ec was founded in 2017 by researchers from INRIA and CNRS. The founding and core team collectively brings decades of academic research in distributed computing, confidential systems, and blockchain infrastructure, with hundreds of published papers across INRIA, CNRS, and leading international institutions. In 2018, iExec co-built the Trusted Compute Framework for blockchain alongside Microsoft, Intel, IBM and industry leaders. The following year, the @linuxfoundation launched the Confidential Computing Consortium (@ConfidentialC2 ), establishing confidential computing as a global industry standard. iExec joined the Consortium in June 2020, alongside Accenture, AMD, and NVIDIA. In 2026, @Gartner_inc named confidential computing one of the Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2026. iExec did not follow this wave. They helped to start it. Nine years of production infrastructure before the market understood it needed this. Real trust comes from years of building, shipping, and being recognized by the institutions that matter. Nine years in. Still building. 💻 https://t.co/Kdml2juJiF ethereum:0x607f4c5bb672230e8672085532f7e901544a7375 #Privacy #Ethereum
