\section{Introduction}

\subsection{Motivation}
|
|
|
|
The rise of decentralized AI computation introduces a fundamental challenge: how to verify that computations executed on remote hardware are trustworthy and tamper-resistant. Traditional cloud computing relies on trust in centralized providers, but decentralized networks require cryptographic proof that code executed inside specific hardware enclaves.
|
|
|
|
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) provide hardware-based isolation and attestation, but existing blockchain systems lack a unified attestation layer capable of:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \textbf{Multi-vendor support}: Verifying attestations from Intel SGX, AMD SEV-SNP, NVIDIA H100 CC, and ARM CCA simultaneously
|
|
\item \textbf{Compute class diversity}: Supporting CPU-only, GPU-accelerated, and hybrid CPU+GPU workloads
|
|
\item \textbf{Single source of truth}: Providing a network-wide attestation registry accessible to all appchains
|
|
\item \textbf{Economic separation}: Distinguishing security tokens (LUX) from application tokens (AI, ZOO)
|
|
\item \textbf{Performance at scale}: Sub-100ms verification for real-time AI inference workloads
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
A-Chain addresses these challenges by providing a dedicated blockchain layer for attestation verification, serving as the foundation for trustless AI compute across the Lux Network.

\subsection{Key Contributions}
|
|
|
|
This paper makes the following contributions:
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item A unified attestation protocol supporting all major TEE vendors and compute classes
|
|
\item Gas-efficient on-chain verification using EVM precompiles at address 0xAAA
|
|
\item Global attestation registry accessible to all Lux appchains
|
|
\item Economic model separating security budget (LUX) from application incentives (AI, ZOO)
|
|
\item Performance benchmarks showing sub-100ms attestation verification
|
|
\item Integration architecture for AI orchestration layers (Hanzo.Network, Zoo.Network)
|
|
\end{enumerate}
