What EQTY Lab does

EQTY Lab builds a hardware-rooted AI governance platform that delivers cryptographic attestation of integrity for AI data, models, and agents across their lifecycle. The core technology, branded as Verifiable Compute, runs inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) on 5th Gen Intel Xeon CPUs with Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) and NVIDIA H100/H200/Blackwell GPUs (including NVIDIA BlueField DPU and the forthcoming Vera BlueField-4 STX), with attestations anchored on the Hedera Consensus Service blockchain to produce tamper-evident AI Certificates of authenticity that are verifiable instantly or decades later. Around this notary, the company has assembled an AI Integrity Suite comprising AI Guardian (agent lifecycle governance), Verifiable Runtime (zero-trust execution for autonomous agents), Verifiable Knowledge (data provenance for agent training corpora), Governance Studio (low-code controls across 10+ compliance frameworks including the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF), Lineage Explorer, the AI Integrity Fabric, and the Attribution Ledger. Open-source deliverables include MCP Guardian (Apache-2.0 on GitHub), AI Lineage Explorer, and the ClimateGPT 7B-parameter multilingual foundation model. The platform is rated SLSA Level 3 and was co-developed over two years with Stanford and MIT advisors.

The company monetizes primarily through quote-based multi-year enterprise licenses of the AI Integrity Suite, sold via a sales-assisted direct motion with white-glove solution architecting for life sciences, public sector, finance, and media verticals. Additional revenue streams include the Dell-branded Verifiable Compute Appliance (hardware sales), professional services and custom implementation (Databricks, Palantir, ServiceNow integrations), and partner-delivered managed services through Accenture Public Sector and SCAN UK sovereign cloud on NVIDIA Blackwell. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, OEM/embedded channels (Dell, NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory, NVIDIA OpenShell), marketplace listings (Databricks, Palantir, ServiceNow), and an open-source developer funnel (MCP Guardian on GitHub, AI Lineage Explorer on Hugging Face) that feeds enterprise upgrades.

Named customers include Hala Systems (OSINT supporting European prosecutors investigating war crimes in Ukraine), Masdar (verifiable citations for clean-energy research), ADQ and other UAE portfolio entities (TAQA, Etihad Rail, ADNEC), MedARC/Stability AI/Princeton (MindEye2 brain-AI research), Living Content (Verifiable Royalties for AI-generated art), Accenture Brussels AI Lab for Public Sector, SCAN UK, and Lucky Storage in Reidsville, NC. Founded by Jonathan Dotan and headquartered in Los Angeles with corporate registration as EQTY LAB AG in Zug, Switzerland, the company has received a $5 million RSAC 2025 Innovation Sandbox Top 10 Finalist award and has been cited by the World Economic Forum and Springer AI and Ethics as a real-world implementation of blockchain-based AI governance.

Core offering

EQTY Lab builds and sells the AI Integrity Suite, an enterprise AI governance software platform that provides cryptographic, hardware-rooted proof of integrity for AI data, models, and agents across the AI supply chain. Its flagship Verifiable Compute framework runs inside Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing TEEs and anchors attestations on the Hedera Consensus Service blockchain at SLSA Level 3, with sub-modules covering agent governance, low-code compliance automation, lineage visualization, policy enforcement, and creator attribution.

Product overview

EQTY Lab offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on the AI Integrity Suite, which combines the Verifiable Compute framework (a hardware-based AI notary and cryptographic certificate system rooted in Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing TEEs, anchored on Hedera) with sub-modules including AI Guardian (runtime agent governance), Governance Studio (low-code compliance controls), Lineage Explorer (cryptographic lineage visualization), AI Integrity Fabric (policy enforcement), and Attribution Ledger (creator compensation). The Verifiable Runtime extension brings zero-trust architecture to autonomous agents on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and DOCA Argus, while Verifiable Knowledge extends attestation to data provenance and licensing on NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX. Complementing the platform are open-source tooling such as MCP Guardian (a security proxy for Model Context Protocol agents) and reference implementations like ClimateGPT, with industry-specific solution packages covering Life Sciences, Public Sector, and Media.

Direct peers

• Duality Technologies: Secure multiparty computation and encrypted data collaboration platform with OpenMined heritage. Comparable on confidential AI / federated analytics workloads addressed by EQTY's life sciences and public-sector offerings.
• Securiti: Unified data and AI governance cloud with automated compliance, data lineage, and AI risk controls. Closely comparable on data lineage, AI compliance, and shift-left governance use cases that EQTY addresses with Lineage Explorer and Governance Studio.
• Prove AI: Blockchain-anchored AI model governance and provenance platform co-developed with IBM. Most directly comparable peer to EQTY's Hedera-anchored AI Certificates, and cited alongside EQTY Lab in the Springer AI and Ethics paper as a real-world blockchain-for-AI-governance implementation.
• Credo AI: AI governance software for risk management, regulatory compliance, and audit. Direct competitor in the AI Integrity Fabric / Governance Studio category for enterprises operationalizing EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF programs.
• Fortanix: Confidential computing platform built on Intel SGX/TDX and NVIDIA H100 GPUs for runtime data and AI protection. Direct peer in the hardware-rooted TEE attestation category that underpins EQTY's Verifiable Compute.
• Humans.ai: Blockchain-based AI governance and rights-management platform. Grouped with EQTY Lab and Prove AI as one of three real-world blockchain-for-AI-governance implementations in peer-reviewed literature, sharing a similar cryptographic-provenance value proposition.
• Holistic AI: AI governance, risk, and compliance platform aligned with EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. Competes for the same Governance Studio budget in regulated enterprises and overlaps on automated AI compliance evidence collection.

Emerging players

• Phala Network: TEE-based confidential computing blockchain for AI agents. Comparable emerging player in the hardware-rooted, blockchain-anchored AI compute category, with overlap on agent trust and verifiable inference.

Broad incumbents

• NVIDIA (Confidential Computing / NeMo Guardrails): Owns the H100/H200/Blackwell TEEs, BlueField DPUs, DOCA Argus/Flow/Vault, and NeMo microservices that EQTY's Verifiable Compute, Runtime, and Knowledge run on. Also a primary channel partner, so it is simultaneously EQTY's biggest enabler and most credible competitor.
• Intel (Confidential Computing / SGX/TDX): Supplier of the 5th Gen Intel Xeon TDX platform that anchors Verifiable Compute and co-markets EQTY's offering. A platform dependency that could become competitive if Intel ships native AI governance attestations on TDX.
