Too Long; Didn't Read
In addition to cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology has given rise to multiple decentralized compute and storage networks. These networks seek to allow individuals and companies to buy and sell compute resources from one another through the exchange of digital tokens. They come in many different forms and present a significant opportunity for prosumers to host a wide range of resources and “mine” tokens that commoditize those resources. Although there are significant advantages to these networks, enterprises must have confidence that their data is protected. This cannot be accomplished in a decentralized manner without hardware that is secured from adversarial operators. (Breuer, Bowen, Palomar, & Liu, 2018)
