Solana Confidential Compute opens beta, mainnet launch date not yet announced

Odaily Report: The Solana Foundation has issued an announcement stating that Solana Confidential Compute, an open-source tool developed in collaboration with the Nito team, includes an SDK and on-chain verification program and is now open in beta on Solana devnet. The tool is designed for building private AI applications and verifying compute hardware. The mainnet version has not yet been given a release date and has not been audited.

Confidential virtual machines generate signing keys, and hardware reports bind the keys to recent Solana slots; after on-chain programs verify them, they record the keys, hardware types, and expiration times. AI computation is performed off-chain, and outputs are signed by the key. After verifying the signature, applications can query the on-chain records, and conversation content and private inputs are not made public. The beta supports Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP hardware attestation, while NVIDIA GPU attestation is still under development. The Solana Confidential Chat example encrypts prompts after verifying the environment in the browser and does not send them if verification fails; the application server can see visitor IPs, and Nito can see accounts, models, request times, and ciphertext sizes. Nito has integrated the tool into its private AI platform.
