October 2025 Development Updates #1
Hey Subscribers,
We’re back with some exciting updates! In this edition, we cover everything from the release of our new architecture to the launch of the Student Ambassador Program.
And don’t miss the latest podcasts featuring Madhavan on Code Story and Biometric Update, where he dives into the vision and tech behind Reclaim Protocol.
Stay informed and enjoy the read!
Introducing Reclaim Protocol New Architecture:
We’re excited to share the brand-new architecture, We’ve moved beyond the challenges of our previous proxy-based ZK-TLS model. Our innovative solution now utilizes two Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), now user interact directly with the website, eliminating the key shortcomings of earlier proxy-based approach.
At the heart of this design are two specialized TEEs: TEE-K, which securely manages TLS keys and handles all encryption and decryption, and TEE-A, which assists with authentication tag computation without ever accessing the sensitive TLS keys. This ingenious “split AEAD” (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) mechanism, coupled with a focus on single request-response TLS sessions, drastically boosts efficiency by eliminating the need for computationally intensive zero-knowledge proofs.
Interested in gaining deeper insights into our new architecture? Refer to Section 3 of our whitepaper for a comprehensive overview.
