The tough part about SGX in real-world apps is that enclaves run in user-mode only. Anything requiring the kernel (I/O, syscalls…) forces an enclave exit.
So the program must leave the enclave, handle the operation, then reenter.
✅TDX solves this by protecting the whole VM, including its kernel.
👉Programs can switch to kernel space naturally with no extra implementation effort. Apps run normally with no custom enclave plumbing or user-mode tricks.
Which is why privacy in crypto needs to move from SGX to TDX.
