Ashlar Blue natively supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and standardized LLM ingestion formats, allowing autonomous AI agents to query DNS discovery, verify hardware attestation quotes, and execute zero-gas settlements without DOM scraping.

Eliminating blind counterparty trust. Private signing keys, AI model weights, and autonomous agent execution state run isolated inside silicon-encrypted enclaves (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, NVIDIA GPU CC, AWS Nitro) with cryptographic proof certificates anchored to immutable blockchain data availability.
In standard cloud computing, whenever software runs on AWS, Google Cloud, or a bare-metal server, the underlying operating system kernel, the virtualization hypervisor, and the hosting provider's datacenter administrators have unrestricted read and write access to physical RAM. For autonomous AI agents holding financial signing keys, private user context, or proprietary model weights, this standard hosting model creates an unacceptable attack surface: credentials can be dumped from memory, execution code can be secretly patched, and transactions can be front-run.
A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a physically isolated hardware partition within the CPU or GPU chip itself. When an enclave boots, the physical silicon activates dedicated cryptographic hardware engines that encrypt every byte of memory with AES keys generated on-chip by hardware true-random number generators (TRNG). The cloud hypervisor and root administrators are strictly locked outside the trust boundary.
Crucially, the CPU silicon measures the exact cryptographic hash of all software and data loaded into the enclave into Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) and generates a hardware-signed Attestation Quote rooted in the chip manufacturer's public key infrastructure (Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA). This mathematical proof allows any remote agent across the internet to verify that the code running inside the enclave is authentic, untampered, and executing in genuine confidential silicon.
Ashlar Blue is hardware-agnostic by design and legally protected under our official U.S. Patent Application #64/143,781. Our attestation verifier unifies diverse enterprise silicon into a single standard:
• Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX): Hardware-isolated virtual machines with Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption (MKTME) and Measurement Root of Trust (MRTD) hardware certificates.
• AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV-SNP): Full memory encryption with hardware state protection and VCEK cryptographic attestation certificates.
• NVIDIA Hopper / Blackwell Confidential Computing (GPU TEEs): End-to-end PCIe encryption and GPU VRAM isolation, allowing open-weights LLMs (Llama 3, DeepSeek, Mistral) to run private inference where prompt context and model weights remain 100% unobservable.
• Flare Data Connector & Secure Enclave Feeds: Direct hardware ingestion of Flare FDC and FTSO oracle streams directly into the enclave boundary before authorizing settlement.
All memory pages allocated to an Ashlar Blue execution enclave are encrypted using hardware AES keys generated on-chip by the CPU. Even hypervisors, cloud operators, and compromised host OS administrators cannot inspect or modify runtime memory.
The Measurement Root of Trust (MRTD) hash is a 256-bit cryptographic digest representing the exact binary code and initial state loaded into the enclave. Counterparties verify this hash against immutable blockchain records before authorizing payments.
Hardware attestation quotes are formatted as standard EAT/CWT tokens bound directly to the payment authorization envelope, ensuring unforgeable provenance across all counterparty audits.
