iExec, a leader in decentralized computing infrastructure, has unveiled its roadmap for 2025, outlining its ambitious plans to become the backbone for privacy-focused artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The company aims to position its protocol as the foundation for confidential computing within the AI space, enhancing its ecosystem through expanded use cases for its native token, RLC.
A key component of iExec’s strategy is increasing the utility and liquidity of RLC, making it more accessible to developers while ensuring adequate support for growing demand. A major initiative is the expansion of the iExec Voucher mechanism, which was introduced in beta last year to streamline the process for developers to access decentralized computing resources via RLC.
iExec plans to bolster the liquidity of RLC by pushing for its listing on more centralized exchanges and by incentivizing liquidity growth through partnerships with decentralized exchanges. This initiative is crucial, as RLC serves as the payment method for developers utilizing iExec’s decentralized, blockchain-based infrastructure, which offers lower-cost access to resources such as servers, GPUs, storage, datasets, and applications.
The vision behind iExec is similar to traditional cloud services like AWS or Microsoft Azure, but with a fundamental difference: iExec’s cloud resources are owned by the community rather than the company itself. This decentralized model allows for more affordable services, specifically catering to blockchain developers rather than traditional application builders.
Another major focus for iExec in 2025 is AI, particularly the development of “Trusted AI” — privacy-preserving AI applications that can perform tasks autonomously with minimal human intervention. iExec’s platform leverages Intel’s Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) and Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technologies to process encrypted data securely, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information.
To support the growing demand for privacy-focused AI, iExec plans to increase the availability of TDX worker pools and develop its iApp Generator, which simplifies the creation of trusted AI applications. The company is also seeking new strategic partnerships with leading companies such as Intel and Nvidia to further enhance its infrastructure.
In addition to these technical initiatives, iExec aims to launch datapools for multi-dataset applications and make significant progress on its sidechain project, Bellecour, which will bring new utility to the RLC token. These efforts are expected to solidify iExec’s position as a leader in the decentralized computing and AI sectors.
As part of its ongoing commitment to community engagement, iExec will participate in major crypto conferences such as Devconnect, ETHDenver, and Consensus Hong Kong. It will also renew its $10 million startup competition to encourage developers to build innovative solutions on its decentralized platform.
Looking ahead, iExec’s co-founder and CEO, Gilles Fedak, emphasized the company’s clear focus on expanding access to its technology and increasing the value of RLC within a rapidly growing ecosystem.
