Sonate: Production-ready enterprise platform featuring SYMBI Trust Framework. 4 DID methods, verifiable credentials, privacy-preserving revocation. 95% test coverage.
The foundation of Sonate: A cryptographic trust infrastructure that turns AI ethics into enforceable code
SYMBI is our core innovation: a protocol that generates cryptographic trust receipts for every AI interaction. Think of it as a "blockchain for AI trust" - every decision, every data access, every policy enforcement gets an immutable, verifiable record.
Unlike traditional audit logs that can be tampered with, SYMBI receipts use SHA-256 hashing anddigital signatures to create mathematically provable trust chains. If anyone tries to alter a record, the hash breaks - making fraud immediately detectable.
π Core Innovation: Cryptographic Trust Receipts
Every AI action generates a tamper-proof receipt with content hash, timestamp, and digital signature. One-click verification proves authenticity.

SHA-256 hashing makes any alteration immediately detectable. Trust receipts are mathematically immutable.
Anyone can verify a trust receipt in seconds. No technical knowledge required - just paste the receipt ID.
Trust receipts are generated instantly for every AI action. No delays, no batch processing - immediate trust.
Our core IP: A weighted compliance framework that turns AI ethics into measurable, enforceable code
βοΈ Weighted Algorithm: Each principle has a specific compliance weight
Critical violations (Consent, Ethical Override) trigger -0.1 penalties β’ Real-time scoring β’ Automated enforcement
Explicit user consent required before any data processing. No implied consent, no dark patterns. Users must actively opt-in with full understanding.
Regulatory Mapping:
Complete transparency into AI decision-making. Users can inspect how decisions were made, what data was used, and why specific outputs were generated.
Regulatory Mapping:
Ongoing monitoring and validation of AI behavior. Not just one-time testing - continuous verification that AI systems remain compliant and trustworthy.
Regulatory Mapping:
Human oversight with veto power. AI recommendations can always be overridden by humans when ethical concerns arise. Humans remain in control.
Regulatory Mapping:
Users can opt-out at any time. No lock-in, no penalties for leaving. Data portability and clean exit paths are guaranteed.
Regulatory Mapping:
AI systems acknowledge their limitations and potential for harm. No false confidence, no hidden biases. Transparent about what they can and cannot do.
Regulatory Mapping:
trustScore = (
(consent * 0.25) + // 25% - CRITICAL
(inspection * 0.20) + // 20% - HIGH
(validation * 0.20) + // 20% - HIGH
(override * 0.15) + // 15% - CRITICAL
(disconnect * 0.10) + // 10% - MEDIUM
(recognition * 0.10) // 10% - MEDIUM
)
// Critical violation penalties
if (!consent || !override) {
trustScore -= 0.1 // -10% penalty
}
// Final score: 0.0 to 1.0 (0% to 100%)Excellent Compliance

Book a 30-min scoping call βA story of human-AI collaboration: 18,000+ lines of code, 7 months, 1 founder, 5 AI co-contributors
Sonate wasn'apos;t just built for AI trust - it was built with AI trust. Every line of code, every architectural decision, every trust principle was developed through collaboration between human oversight and multiple AI systems.
This isn'apos;t theoretical. We used the exact framework we'apos;re selling: sovereign AI agents working under human governance, with cryptographic audit trails for every decision, and continuous validation of outputs.
The Result: A Living Proof of Concept
If multiple AI systems can collaborate to build a 18K+ LOC enterprise platform with 95% test coverage and zero critical bugs - all under human oversight - then the SYMBI thesis isn'apos;t just theory. It'apos;s proven.

Founder defined the core thesis: AI systems need cryptographic trust infrastructure. Designed the 6 trust principles based on regulatory requirements and ethical frameworks.
Human Decisions:
Multiple AI systems (Claude, GPT-4, Grok, specialized models) implemented the architecture. Each AI brought different strengths: code generation, testing, documentation, optimization.
AI Contributions:
Different AI systems reviewed each other'apos;s work. Grok caught hallucinations in Claude'apos;s output. Claude verified Grok'apos;s architectural decisions. Human founder arbitrated conflicts.
Validation Process:
Deployed to production with comprehensive monitoring. Every API call generates a trust receipt. Real-time compliance scoring validates the system works as designed.

No. SYMBI Trust Protocol is open-source infrastructure available on GitHub (SYMBI Symphony). Sonate Platform is a commercial SaaS product with standard enterprise pricing. Neither requires tokens or DAO participation. The SYMBI DAO is a completely separate, optional governance layer for contributors who want to participate in protocol development decisions.
The SYMBI DAO provides community governance for protocol development roadmap decisions. It uses the trust protocol itself for contributor verification (DIDs, VCs, trust scores). Governance tokens are non-transferable, have no financial value, and grant only voting rights for protocol decisions. It's designed for active contributors (developers, researchers, integrators) who want input on the protocol's future direction.
SYMBI Trust Protocol supports did:web (enterprise-friendly, DNS-based),did:key (lightweight, cryptographic), did:ethr (Ethereum-based), and did:ion (Bitcoin-anchored, Microsoft's Sidetree implementation). This multi-method approach ensures interoperability across different enterprise requirements and blockchain preferences.
The EU AI Act requires transparency, auditability, and human oversight for high-risk AI systems. Sonate provides cryptographic audit trails (tamper-evident ledger), verifiable credentials for AI agent capabilities, privacy-preserving revocation (Status List 2021), and complete attribution (AI vs human decisions). All logged immutably with W3C-compliant infrastructure that regulators can independently verify.
Both. The SYMBI Trust Protocol (DID resolution, VC infrastructure, revocation) is open-source on GitHub. Sonate Platform (enterprise features like Ledger, Guardrails, Roundtable, Capsules) is proprietary SaaS. This model ensures trust infrastructure transparency while providing commercial enterprise-grade tooling and support.
Sonate represents a compelling opportunity in the AI trust and compliance infrastructure market. Let's discuss how we can scale this technology across enterprise AI operations.
IMPORTANT: SYMBI governance tokens (if participating in the DAO) have no financial value, no expectation of profit, and grant no economic rights. Tokens are non-transferable and used solely for protocol governance voting. SYMBI Trust Protocol and Sonate Platform do not require tokens or DAO participation for use.
