My recommendation to founders who want to leverage FHE/MPC but realize performance/cost is a bottleneck*:
Build your use case using TEEs, prove out the demand, and capture market share. Yes, TEEs may break, but it's more advantageous to ship the product.
Once you capture a sufficient market share, funding for upgrades to FHE/MPC will become more readily accessible.
* This doesn't apply to use cases where FHE/MPC already provides good enough performance & cost, like MPC signing.
Keep in mind that FHE / MPC protocols also have a long road ahead before they can be widely adopted. I estimate that another $0.5–$1 billion in R&D spending will be required before they become practical for certain use cases.
The path to commercialization is a narrow one - balancing technical capabilities, integration challenges, and the economics of each use case.
