Description

Features

  • Cheap.
  • Are created, same as any other runtime, but maybe with additional configuration.
  • Some results are then communicated back to a different runtime.
  • Are then terminated after a while (depending on per-runtime policy) and garbage-collected.

Use cases

  • Game sessions where a possibly expensive game is played (mostly) off-chain, verifiably through TEEs. The final results are communicated back.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping runtime creation, result communication, termination, and garbage collection in the repository. Done would require an agreed design and implementation for ephemeral runtimes, but the issue does not define those details.
