The only AI infrastructure
worth building on is
infrastructure you can verify

Trellis MCP gives AI agents structured access to Hiero's distributed ledger and Guardian governance — through five auditable layers, each independently attestable. No trust-me APIs. Every action traces to the ledger. Every layer can be verified in isolation.

Layered attestation Each layer auditable in isolation. PwC can verify L1 through L5 independently.
Cryptographic provenance Every agent action traces to a Hiero transaction with consensus timestamp.
Trust compounds with adoption Every new domain attested on Trellis strengthens every other domain on the platform.

Architecture

Five layers. Each does one thing.

Infrastructure separated from domain logic. Open-source core that anyone can build on. Domain layers where your application plugs in.

L5
Application + Server — WHERE
MCP servers exposing domain tools to AI agents
YOUR DOMAIN
L4
Domain Rules — WHY
Business constraints and schemas composing core primitives
YOUR DOMAIN
Open Source · Apache 2.0
L3
Asset Types — WHAT
7 universal primitives + 5 operation factories for any tokenized asset
OPEN SOURCE
L2
Guardian Tools — WHO
Identity, governance, and verification through Hedera Guardian
OPEN SOURCE
L1
Hashgraph Tools — HOW
19 infrastructure primitives for Hiero: accounts, tokens, topics, NFTs, queries
OPEN SOURCE
Layer 3 · Asset Type Primitives

Seven schemas that model any tokenized asset

Each primitive maps a real-world business concept directly to ledger mechanics. No custom integration. No bespoke schema design.

Certificate
Verified attestations — crop yields, drug lots, quality certs
Provenance
Origin and custody tracking — parts, supply chain steps
Credit
Quantifiable units of value — energy credits, carbon removal
Agreement
Multi-party contracts — leases, NDAs, service agreements
Inspection
Evaluation results — soil tests, audits, assessments
Milestone
Progress markers — payments, deliverables, phases
Claim
Assertions requiring verification — insurance, warranties
Why This Matters

Trust is the scarcest resource in AI

Every other MCP server is a trust-me API. An agent calls a tool, gets a result, and has no way to verify the response wasn't spoofed, manipulated, or fabricated. That's fine for weather data. It's unacceptable for finance, procurement, or carbon verification.

01

Agents don't trust tools.
They trust the ledger.

Every Trellis MCP response traces to a Hiero transaction with a consensus timestamp and cryptographic proof. The trust is mathematical, not reputational.

02

Layered architecture
enables layered audit.

A monolithic AI system is a black box. Five independent layers with bounded scope and deterministic behavior can be attested in isolation — by PwC, by regulators, by anyone.

03

Every domain attested
strengthens every other.

PwC attests procurement governance on Layer 1–5. The same methodology transfers to carbon verification, supply chain, healthcare — at decreasing cost and increasing confidence. Trust compounds with adoption.

Beyond open source

Production deployments requiring advanced resilience and physics-bounded intelligence.

Resilience Layer
LNC
Linear Network Coding solves the Dual-Record Pattern vulnerability — where on-chain hashes point to off-chain data that can disappear. Polynomial proofs and coded packets ensure data is mathematically reconstructible from any sufficient subset of nodes.

DCL
Domain Coupled Learning enforces physical laws on AI agent actions. An LLM proposes, DCL validates against domain physics, and only physically possible actions execute on-chain. Protected by 24 issued MIMO patents.
