Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

• Tee permissions can only be added by the admin of the service contract.

• Attestations can only be reported by those with tee permissions who have staked the required minimum amount of Bluwhale.

• Staked Bluwhale by tees is converted into veBluwhale and stored in the Vault contract. Subsequent slashing and unstaking funds are in veBluwhale.

• Malicious Attestation: If more than half of the verifiers deem an attestation malicious (i.e., Malicious > Valid), anyone can initiate a penalty against the tee for that attestation.

• Penalty for Tees: When penalized, a portion of the staked veBluwhale is deducted and allocated to the respective verifier.

• Excessive Penalties: If a tee is penalized multiple times and the staked funds are insufficient, the tee will be prohibited from reporting further attestations until additional staking is done.

Unstaking: Tees can cancel their stake after the lock-in period (7 days since the last attestation report). Upon unstaking, the remaining veBluwhale Tokens are returned, and the tee can no longer report attestations
