iExec Unveils 2025 Roadmap to Expand RLC Utility and Advance Confidential AI

Paris, France, February 27th, 2025, Chainwire

Web3 protocol iExec has unveiled its 2025 roadmap, including core commitments to enhance the utility of the RLC token, deepen AI integration, and broaden its decentralized ecosystem. The plan outlines a multi-pronged strategy to foster innovation and strengthen iExec’s position in confidential computing and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).

iExec will amplify the RLC token’s role in 2025, enhancing its liquidity and utility industry-wide. New cillaboration with centralized exchanges will improve trading access, while expanded liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges will serve to deepen liquidity while offering new holder incentives. The iExec Voucher mechanism, launched in closed beta in 2024, will scale, locking more RLC within the ecosystem by simplifying how developers use the token to pay for resources.

Gilles Fedak, CEO and co-founder of iExec, said: “For 2025 and beyond we have a clear focus on expanding access to our technology and increasing RLC’s value within a growing ecosystem. This roadmap reflects our commitment to developers, users, and partners, and being at the forefront of emerging trends.

Trusted AI has become a topic of global concern, iExec will focus on expanding its Trusted AI framework. Leveraging Intel’s Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) alongside existing SGX technology, iExec will increase TDX workerpool availability to secure AI computations. The AiExec initiative will roll out the iApp Generator, a tool to simplify Trusted AI applications , including AI agents development. Strengthened ties with Intel and Nvidia, building on a 2024 Gold Membership in Intel’s Partner Alliance, will bolster infrastructure for advanced machine learning, aligning with growing demand for privacy-preserving AI.

iExec’s ecosystem will further expand through strategic partnerships and Collaborations in AI, DePIN, and decentralized computing – spanning TEEs, GPUs, and storage – will drive adoption with collaborations for models for more TEE machines available on the network, where external entities manage their workerpools while adhering to iExec’s governance and Confidential Computing standards.

Following 2024’s $10 million startup competition collaboration with Start in Block, iExec will renew this collaboration in 2025 and continue to allocate resources to AI projects and developer initiatives, reinforcing ties with Nvidia, the Confidential Computing Consortium, and ADAN. These efforts aim to unlock new RLC use cases and support Web3 education and blockchain integration.

Technological advancements in 2025 will prioritize scalability and developer accessibility. iExec will deploy more TEE-enabled GPUs to power confidential AI applications, complemented by new tools like the iApp Generator for secure privacy-focused applications using TEEs and Web3Mail and Web3Telegram tools to allow projects to send messages and communicate securely to users with their Telegram handle and email never being revealed. Datapools will enable multi-dataset tasks, cutting costs and network congestion, the work on the iExec Sidechain (Bellecour) and Layer-2 research will focus on increasing throughput and enhancing Ethereum interoperability, creating new RLC use cases. iExec’s consensus algorithm (PoCo) and middleware improvements will further optimize performance, ensuring robust support for next-generation applications.

iExec’s marketing strategy will elevate visibility through targeted campaigns and community engagement. A collaboration with CoinMarketCap will feature live sessions, articles, and social promotions, building on 2024’s 1.3 million-user Revolut campaign. Expanded rewards programs will offer RLC incentives via new platforms, while presence at global events such as ETHDenver, Consensus Hong Kong, Token 2049, ETHCC, and Devconnect will include hackathons and sponsorships.

Through enhancing utility, technical capabilities, and actioning other deliverables on its 2025 roadmap, iExec aims to solidify its role as a cornerstone of web3 infrastructure.
