01 Security Practices how we protect your data
🔐

Cryptographic Proofs

Every AI decision and memory operation is recorded with SHA‑256 commitments and Ed25519 signatures — verifiable without trusting any single party.

🛡️

Verification Fence

All LLM outputs are grounded in cited memory entries, blocking hallucinations and ensuring 100% precision on factual claims.

🗑️

Provable Deletion

Data erasure is cryptographically proven — 100% deletion verification with tamper‑evident root hash changes.

🔒

Erasure Coding

Data is erasure‑coded (k=3, n=5) across independent nodes, ensuring 96% recovery even with 20% node failure.

⚡

iPoS Consensus

Validator voting power is weighted by AI‑derived reliability scores, creating an incentive‑aligned security model.

📋

Full Audit Trail

Every decision, training event, and deletion is recorded on the immutable ledger — auditable by regulators and users alike.
