TEN is a next-generation Ethereum Layer 2 rollup protocol that introduces data confidentiality, computational privacy, and resistance to Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) by leveraging hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). TEN represents a major step forward in decentralized system design by reintroducing data access controls — a foundational feature of Web2 that Web3 largely abandoned in favor of radical transparency.
