Your patient data stays on your network. Your models run on your hardware. Your infrastructure, your control. No cloud. No vendor lock-in. No trust required.
Every claim we make can be proven. Every inference can be traced. Every model version is explicit. This is what sovereignty means.
Patient data stays on your LAN. No transmission to external servers. No vendor caching. No jurisdictional exposure. Full HIPAA residency control without the trust gap.
Every inference generates a Merkle proof. Every report is signed with EIP-191. Every job is anchored to IPFS. You can prove what ran, when, and why — forever.
The weights live on your hardware. You control versions, updates, and rollbacks. No silent vendor changes. No surprise regressions. No deprecation notices.
Full operation without internet connectivity. Signing happens on isolated hardware. Perfect for high-security environments, classified facilities, and true compliance.
One hardware investment. Zero per-scan fees. No API charges. No egress costs. Your marginal cost per inference approaches zero as volume grows.
Same input, same output, same proof. Auditors can reproduce results. Regulators can reason about the system. No black boxes.
We built this comparison because we kept having the same conversation. Here's the truth, side by side.
| Dimension | Cloud AI | TrustCat |
|---|---|---|
| Data Location | Leaves your facility | Never leaves your LAN |
| Audit Trail | Vendor-controlled logs | Merkle proofs on IPFS |
| Model Control | Vendor updates silently | You own every version |
| Cost Model | Per-scan + Per-API + Egress | Fixed hardware, $0 marginal |
| Internet Required | Always | Never |
| Latency | Variable, network-dependent | Sub-100ms local inference |
| Vendor Lock-in | Complete | None — open formats |
| Compliance Posture | Shared responsibility fog | Clear system boundaries |
| Trust Model | "Trust the vendor" | "Verify the system" |
This isn't a diagram of what we could build. This is what's running right now, processing medical imaging workloads 24/7 on solar-powered, air-gapped infrastructure.

Every step happens on your network. Every component has a cryptographic identity. Every output is provable.
ENS domains aren't branding. They're infrastructure. Each service resolves to a verifiable identity on Ethereum mainnet (Chain ID: 1). No DNS. No certificate authorities. Just cryptographic truth.
Shared responsibility models create fog. Our architecture creates clarity. Every boundary is explicit. Every data flow is traceable.
Full data residency. Encryption at rest and in transit. Access logging with cryptographic integrity. No BAA ambiguity — you control the infrastructure.
Deterministic outputs. Timestamped audit trails. EIP-191 signatures provide non-repudiation. Version-controlled model registry.
Reproducible clinical evidence. Explicit model versioning. Traceable validation datasets. Clear system boundaries for conformity assessment.
Start with a pilot. No per-scan fees. No vendor lock-in. See what sovereignty feels like.
