The Flow

  1. Agent Request: The agent sends a request containing a message with the desired LLM model to the TEE

  2. Secure Processing: The TEE securely processes the request by calling the LLM API

  3. Return Proof: The TEE sends back {Message, Proof} to the agent

  4. On-Chain Storage: The TEE submits the attestation with {Message, Proof} to Solana

  5. Verification: The Proof of Civitas SDK is used to read the attestation from Solana and verify it with {Message, Proof}. The proof log can be added to the agent website/app

Technical Components

Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

  • LLM inference executed inside Amazon Nitro Enclaves

  • Enclave cannot be accessed from outside to ensure agent security

  • Includes instructions to verify code running inside TEEs

Proof of Civitas SDK

  • OpenAI-compatible Python & JavaScript libraries

  • Makes verifiable LLM inferences within your agent

  • Supports OpenAI and Claude LLMs, plus fine-tuned models with OpenAI

  • Logging functionality to retrieve and display verified inferences

  • Verification logic to validate in code if a proof is correct

Solana Integration

  • On-chain verifiability with Solana blockchain

  • Transparent, immutable proof storage

  • Public verification without centralized trust
