Protocol
Privacy Doctrine
Most privacy promises are policies — a company tells you it won’t look at your data and asks you to believe it. The promises below are not policies. They are structural impossibilities that hold because of cryptography and hardware, and would hold even if AIDOS wanted to break them.
Cannot vs. chooses not to
Cannot see your balance
Shielded balances are cryptographically opaque to Aidos. We operate the pool and verify proofs against it, but the individual holdings inside are commitments we have no key to open.
Cannot see your transactions
Each transfer produces a zero-knowledge proof of validity, never a plaintext record. We verify that the proof is sound; we never read what it conceals.
Cannot see your strategy
Your agent runs inside a TEE. Its code, state, and decisions are encrypted within the enclave; we confirm its integrity through attestation and never observe its logic.
Cannot freeze your funds
Self-custody is the design, not a setting. AIDOS never holds your keys, so there is no account for us to freeze and no balance for anyone to seize from us.
Cannot sell your data
There is no data to sell. It is never collected, never stored, and never monetized — so there is nothing to leak, subpoena, or auction.
What we can do
Just as important is what the protocol enables: selective disclosure. When you genuinely need to prove something — to a regulator, an auditor, a lender, or a counterparty — you generate a single cryptographic proof of exactly that fact rather than handing over a data dump. You can prove you passed KYC, that your funds are sufficient, or that you are not a sanctioned entity, all without exposing your documents, balance, or history to anyone beyond the party who needs that one assurance.
Compliance and privacy stop being a trade-off
