Phala Network

Phala Cloud grew to 4,849 users this week (+4.5%), while activity across compute and usage saw a noticeable dip.

Growth continues, but patterns are shifting. 🫡

🧊 Here's the hard truth about AI in finance: It's hard for people to trust AI when there's real money involved.

And for good reason. Would YOU give an AI access to your wallet when it's running on some random cloud server?

Hell no. 🔥

Not unless that cloud is TEE-based. 🧵

😶‍🌫️ Phala Cloud’s been putting in work — Here’s a quick snapshot of last week’s growth.

Most key areas saw solid growth📈. The only dip was in GPU TEE usage, partly because Nous: Hermes 3 was removed from Phala’s LLM offering on OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai/provider/phala).

Phala × PublicAI: Building Trustworthy AI from the Ground Up

Phala and @PublicAI_ are teaming up to fix AI’s biggest problems: ❌trust, ❌privacy, and ❌transparency in training data.

Here’s how TEE + decentralized data annotation changes everything.

🤝 Partnership Announcement: Phala x PublicAI

Phala is partnering up with @PublicAI_ to set a new standard for ethical AI. By combining Phala's TEE-secured infrastructure with decentralized data annotation, we’re enabling AI training verifiable, private, and tamper-proof — from dataset to model.

Phala Cloud saw steady growth last week (May 21-28), with a 19.0% increase in users, 21.1% in VMs, and 11.4% in vCPUs.

🔥But the real headline? Phala's TEE GPU usage surged 131.3% after adding Nous Hermes 3 and Qwen 2.5 to our LLM lineup on OpenRouter (

Just dropped - Phala Cloud's Flash VRF Template, a turnkey Verifiable Random Function (VRF) service that lets devs deploy VRFs in MINUTES, not days.

It gives you:
⚡ TEE-secured randomness
⚡ 2-4s latency
⚡ Cryptographically verifiable
⚡ One-click deployment

A 🧵.

You chase dollar per hour.
I chase security per dollar.

We’re not the same.

🤝 New Partnership: Phala x Caila

Phala is excited to team up with @Caila_AI by @nubilanetwork! With Phala's TEE-secured infra, Caila agents can now process sensitive weather & location data in real-time - knowing that their LLM inference, user data and model integrity are protected.

Phala was here before TEE was cool.

☁️ Phala Cloud Weekly Growth (May 7 - 14)

Big wins across the board - Total Users, Total VMs, vCPU all rising! 📈

Phala's GPU TEE usage took a hit, as Llama 3.3 & DeepSeek R1 cooled on OpenRouter🧊. That said, the peak usage last week was a staggering 1.46B tokens processed.🔥

We listed Phala Cloud on @ProductHunt yesterday and it made it into the Top 20 Product as of May 15, 2025. Woot woot!🥳
