Overview

Dstack is a Flashbots X Project jointly produce by Phala Network and Flashbots.

It was inspired by Andrew's (Flashbots team) design of Dstack.

Check our Acknowledgement for all of the key contributors that built out the Dstack SDK.

Overview

The Dstack SDK is designed to simplify the steps for developers to deploy programs to CVM (Confidential VM), and to follow the security best practices by default. The main features include:

• Convert any docker container to a CVM image to deploy on supported TEEs

• Remote Attestation API and a chain-of-trust visualization on Web UI

• Automatic RA-HTTPS wrapping with content addressing domain on 0xABCD.dstack.host

• Decouple the app execution and state persistent from specific hardware with decentralized Root-of-Trust

Conclusion

Now that there is an introduction to the Dstack, we can begin the fun part of building on the SDK. There are a few ways to get started depending on your starting point. Let's take a look at the options in Getting Started.
