## What Is Phala Network?

[Phala Network](https://phala.network/) is a coprocessor for blockchains. Developers deploy “[Phat Contracts](https://phala.network/phat-contract),” off-chain program for coprocessors, enhancing dApps with connectivity, internet access, and heavy computation, overcoming web3 constraints. 

Phala Network has one of the largest [Trusted Execution Environments (TEE)](https://docs.phala.network/developers/advanced-topics/blockchain-infrastructure/secret-key-hierarchy#key-hierarchy-management) on Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) hardware, which means that any code/data on Phala Network is protected from unauthorized access by users. Phala addresses developer concerns with expanded developer [language support](https://docs.phala.network/developers/build-on-phat-contract/language-basics) such as JavaScript and more, and ready-to-deploy [Templates](https://bricks.phala.network/overview) for seamless Phat Contract integration, streamlining the experience for web3 developers. 

Phala stands at the forefront of Web3 innovation, fostering development through its [Builders Program](https://docs.phala.network/developers/phat-contract/builders-program).

## What Makes Phala Unique?

Phala Networks pioneers DePIN for CPUs, optimizing performance. Decentralized compute enhances blockchain coprocessors, ensuring secure transactions. The future entails AI-Web3 synergy, with Autonomous Agents providing scalable, autonomous data processing. 

Phala Network distinguishes itself through its **[Phat Contracts](https://docs.phala.network/developers/phat-contract)**, a paradigm-shifting concept in decentralized off-chain computation. The key uniqueness of Phat Contracts lies in their role as decentralized computation units, surpassing the limitations of on-chain smart contracts. These contracts run off-chain, facilitating complex computations seamlessly and cost-effectively. Unlike traditional on-chain solutions, Phat Contracts enable connections across diverse blockchains, supporting EVM and Substrate-based chains like Ethereum, Polygon, Polkadot, and [more](https://docs.phala.network/developers/phat-contract/supported-chains).

Phat Contracts empower developers with a range of tools—such as the Rust SDK and JavaScript and TypeScript—providing flexibility based on their programming background.

[Phat Contract applications](https://phala.network/posts/phat-contract-20-smart-contracts-now-connected) include [Zurf](https://phala.network/posts/monetizing-social-interactions-phala-and-zurf-parnership) for web3 social rewards, Phat OTP for secure on-chain authentication, Phat Strategy in GameFi, Lens Phite for [dynamic NFTs](https://phala.network/posts/Dynamic-NFT-Web3-Game-Changer), Smart Cookie for AI-driven content tailoring, and LensAPI Oracle for seamless integration of Lens data in smart contracts.

## PHA is the native utility token that is used for:

- [Trusted Computing Resources](https://docs.phala.network/developers/phat-contract/pay-for-cloud-service): Phala Networks empowers users with $PHA to access TEE computation resources. Seamlessly deploy Phat Contracts, supporting smart contracts as self-host oracles on various EVM blockchains.
- [Security Guarantee](https://docs.phala.network/developers/phat-contract/pay-for-cloud-service#security-and-computing-power): [Gatekeepers](https://docs.phala.network/compute-providers/gatekeeper/gatekeeper) must stake a certain amount of PHA tokens, which may be slashed for misbehavior.
- [Governance](https://docs.phala.network/pha-token/governance): Stakeholders who own a certain amount of PHA are able to join the Phala DAO to participate in community governance.
