Nautilus is now live on the Sui testnet, bringing verifiable off-chain privacy-preserving computation

On April 17th, Nautilus, a powerful new member of the Sui security toolkit, is now live on the Sui testnet. Built for Web3 developers, Nautilus allows developers to perform sensitive or computationally expensive operations off-chain in a self-managed, isolated, and tamper-proof Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). At the same time, these TEEs generate cryptographic proofs to ensure that the computation process is authentic. The application or user can submit the computation results on-chain, and the Move smart contract will verify these proofs before processing them.

Currently, developers can now experience Nautilus on the Sui testnet. The GitHub repository already includes reproducible templates for building, deploying, and registering self-hosted AWS Nitro Enclaves, as well as a reference app that demonstrates the entire process from generating trusted proofs to on-chain validation.

This release marks another important milestone for Sui in supporting privacy-preserving and verifiable off-chain computation to build privacy-first security applications such as tamper-proof real-world data oracles, autonomous proxy processes and on-chain traceability based on AI inference, hidden logic and metadata for fairplay Web3 games, and privacy-free authentication without exposing user information.
