Category: AI & Data

Overview

◾iExec RLC is the utility token powering iExec, a decentralized computing platform focused on privacy-preserving computation and confidential data processing. The network enables applications to access computing resources and process sensitive data while maintaining strong privacy protections. iExec uses technologies such as secure enclaves, Proof of Contribution, and verifiable execution to support confidential workloads. RLC is used within the iExec ecosystem for accessing and paying for decentralized computing resources and services. ◾iExec was launched in 2017 with a focus on decentralized cloud computing and privacy-preserving computation. Its infrastructure allows applications to run workloads on distributed computing resources while limiting exposure of sensitive data. The protocol combines blockchain-based coordination with trusted execution environments and cryptographic mechanisms to provide verifiable computation. ◾In 2026, iExec has increasingly focused its development on confidential computing, Confidential DeFi, tokenized assets, and privacy infrastructure for institutional applications. Its Nox initiative is designed around trusted execution and runtime attestation, helping provide verifiable evidence about how confidential workloads are executed. ◾The RLC token serves as the economic and utility layer of the iExec ecosystem, supporting payments for computing services and access to decentralized resources. iExec has also been developing privacy-focused infrastructure intended to support AI, decentralized applications, DeFi, and real-world asset use cases.
