Tamper-evident, cryptographically signed, independently verifiable. Group multi-step workflows into a Project Bundle with a single Project Hash. Your AI made a decision. Can you prove it? NexArt is verifiable execution infrastructure for AI systems. Every run produces a Certified Execution Record: a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed artifact that anyone can verify independently. Free to create. Paid to certify. Public to verify. One function call. No infrastructure change. Start certifying in under an hour. Start with NexArt (https://nexart.io/adopt) · See exactly how it works (https://nexart.io/how-it-works) What NexArt is NexArt is verifiable execution infrastructure for AI systems. It produces tamper-evident records of what your AI actually ran. A lightweight integration captures inputs, outputs, and execution context at runtime and seals them into a single record locally. An independent attestation node certifies each record so that no single party controls the proof. Certification adds a third-party signature. The record can then be verified by anyone without trusting the operator. verify.nexart.io is a public verification surface. Anyone can check a record there with no account, no login, and no dependency on NexArt. A Project Bundle groups multiple execution steps into one verifiable artifact, covering entire workflows or agent sessions. NexArt proves what executed. It does not prove that the output is correct or that the model behaved well. Execution → Record → Proof Execute: Your AI runs. Inputs, outputs, and context are captured. Seal: SHA-256 binds everything into a tamper-evident CER. Verify: Anyone confirms independently. No account needed. Try it in your browser (https://nexart.io/demos/ai-execution) Logs describe. They do not prove. Today, most AI executions leave no independently verifiable record. Logs can be edited, deleted, or fabricated after the fact. Inputs and outputs are rarely bound together. When something goes wrong, there is no verifiable link between what was requested and what was returned. Without execution-level evidence, trust depends entirely on the operator. Auditors, partners, and regulators have nothing to verify independently. Most teams discover this gap during an audit or after a client dispute. By then, the executions they need to prove are already gone. Verifiable execution evidence for every AI workflow Every execution produces a Certified Execution Record (CER) that binds inputs, parameters, and outputs into a single tamper-evident artifact. Independent attestation nodes verify integrity and issue signed receipts. Recompute the hash. Check the signature. No API key, no account, no dependency on NexArt. What NexArt is, and what it is not NexArt proves what executed. It does not claim the output is correct. Verification is about integrity of the record, not the quality of the model. This is not observability. It is verifiable execution evidence. NexArt is An execution evidence layer for AI systems A cryptographic proof system (SHA-256 + Ed25519) Independent verification infrastructure A record format anyone can verify without an account NexArt is not A logging or observability tool A monitoring or analytics dashboard A model provider or evaluation framework A correctness or quality guarantee Execution is certified. Context explains the decision. Inputs, outputs, and parameters are sealed into the Certified Execution Record. Optional execution context, such as routing, retrieval, or tool signals, attaches to the same record as an explanation layer. When included, context is bound to the seal. The record proves not just what ran, but how the decision was reached. Built for how you work Builders: Integrate verifiable execution into your AI stack. Free tier, SDK, CLI, and full API access. Compliance & Risk: Audit-grade execution evidence aligned with ISO 42001, SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act. Enterprise & Regulated Workflows: Private attestation nodes, SLAs, retention policies, and architecture walkthroughs for regulated environments. From execution to proof in four steps Capture: Inputs, outputs, and execution context recorded at runtime. Seal: SHA-256 hash binds all protected fields into a tamper-evident record. Attest: Independent node signs the record with an Ed25519 receipt. Verify: Verify a single CER or an entire Project Bundle. Anyone confirms independently. What actually gets verified In most systems, inputs and outputs are logged separately, if at all. A Certified Execution Record binds the parts of a run that matter for proof. Everything else stays available for review, without being part of the seal. Sealed in the proof: Inputs, outputs, and parameters are bound together by a single cryptographic hash. Change any one of them and the record no longer verifies. Recorded as context: Execution context like model, version, timestamp, and environment is captured alongside the seal so reviewers can see exactly what ran. Available as evidence: Optional signals and supporting data attach to the record for review. They may not always be part of the sealed proof, but they remain inspectable. One workflow. Many executions. A single verifiable artifact. Real systems aren't a single call. Agents plan, retrieve, decide, and act across many steps. NexArt groups those steps into a Project Bundle. Each step gets its own Certified Execution Record. The Project Bundle ties them into one independently verifiable artifact for the whole workflow, with a single Project Hash that verifies the entire run. See a Project Bundle (https://nexart.io/demos/ai-execution) Anyone can verify. No login required. Verification doesn't depend on NexArt's word, on internal logs, or on operator access. Records are independently checkable on a public surface. Open to anyone: Share a link. Auditors, partners, and regulators verify directly at verify.nexart.io with no account. Privacy-safe by default: Public records can be redacted so sensitive content isn't exposed, while the cryptographic proof stays intact. Still cryptographically verifiable: Even when redacted, the hash and signature still verify. Integrity is preserved without revealing what's inside. Open verify.nexart.io (https://verify.nexart.io) Proof you can hand to anyone who asks As AI systems move into production, the question shifts from "does it work?" to "can you prove what it did?" The teams that answer that question now set the standard. The rest explain gaps later. AI auditability: Show exactly what ran, when, and with what inputs and outputs. The record can be validated independently, even outside your system. Compliance evidence: Audit-grade records aligned with ISO 42001, SOC 2, and the EU AI Act. Debugging with proof: Reproduce failed runs from a tamper-evident record, not a log file. No stitching together data from multiple systems. Trustworthy agents: Multi-step agent workflows with verifiable decision trails end-to-end. For systems where proof matters AI agents & tool-calling workflows: Verifiable decision trails for autonomous tool calls, chain-of-thought workflows, and multi-step pipelines. Approvals & policy enforcement: Prove that a decision followed the right inputs, parameters, and policy constraints with cryptographic evidence. Compliance & audit readiness: Audit-grade execution records for regulated industries. Reproducible, independently verifiable, retention-ready.

It does not prove that the output is correct or that the model behaved well. Five steps from execution to proof Execution happens. Your AI system runs a model call, tool call, or automated decision. NexArt does not change how your system works. A Certified Execution Record is created. Inputs, outputs, and execution context are captured and sealed into a single tamper-evident record. This happens locally, inside your system. Optional: an independent node certifies the record. An attestation node signs the record. This adds a third-party signature. Certification is separate from local sealing. Verification checks the record independently. Anyone can verify the record at verify.nexart.io. No account, no login, no API key. Project Bundles group multiple executions. When a workflow involves multiple steps, individual records are grouped into a single Project Bundle. One artifact covers the entire session. What to know before you start The SDK is not the Node. The SDK runs locally and creates records. The Node is an independent service that certifies them. Local sealing is not certification. Sealing proves a record has not been tampered with. Certification adds independent third-party attestation. Verification is not a dashboard. verify.nexart.io checks whether a specific record is intact. It does not display analytics or system health. NexArt proves execution integrity, not correctness. A verified record proves specific inputs produced specific outputs. It does not prove the output was correct.

An open standard for deterministic and tamper-evident execution records across two surfaces. NexArt Protocol The NexArt Protocol is an open execution and verification standard for deterministic and integrity-bound systems. It defines how executions are captured, sealed with cryptographic hashes, and independently verified, across two distinct execution surfaces under one versioned trust model. Two Execution Surfaces Code Mode provides deterministic, reproducible execution where the same inputs always produce the same output. AI Execution produces tamper-evident records of AI and LLM calls: integrity evidence that anyone can verify independently. Both surfaces share the same canonical hashing rules and attestation model. Why Verifiable Execution Matters Logs can describe what happened. They cannot prove it. Execution drift creates silent risk in AI agent decision workflows, compliance-sensitive pipelines, financial simulations, and model evaluation systems. Verifiable execution closes the gap between operator claims and independently checkable evidence. Protocol-Level Guarantees Canonical execution semantics defined by the protocol specification Version-pinned guarantees across time and environments SHA-256 cryptographic binding of protected fields Independent Ed25519-signed attestation receipts Zero-trust verification with no account or API key required How Verification Works Capture: inputs, parameters, outputs, and context recorded at runtime Seal: fields canonicalized and bound with a SHA-256 hash Attest: independent node issues an Ed25519-signed receipt Verify: anyone recomputes the hash and confirms independently Protocol Architecture The protocol separates the canonical specification (what must be true for a record to verify) from reference implementations (how to produce conforming records). This keeps results portable across SDK versions, runtimes, and attestation nodes that conform to the same protocol version. Applicable Domains AI agents: verifiable decision trails for autonomous tool calls Multi-step pipelines: certify every stage with independently verifiable evidence and group them into a Project Bundle Regulated workflows: audit-grade execution records for compliance-sensitive operations Financial simulation: reproducible outcomes for auditable models Generative systems: canonical, verifiable outputs across environments Protocol Status The current protocol version is v1.2.0 for Code Mode and ai.execution.v1 for AI Execution snapshots.

Runtime sandboxing, SHA-256 hashing, minimal retention, signed attestation, and SOC 2-aligned security controls. Security Architecture Isolated execution. Deterministic integrity. Minimal retention. NexArt's security architecture is designed around three principles: every execution runs in an isolated sandbox, deterministic integrity ensures identical inputs produce identical outputs, and minimal retention means execution payloads are not persisted beyond what is required for verification. Overview NexArt is execution integrity infrastructure, not a data warehouse. The security model is built around producing evidence that anyone can independently verify, without trusting NexArt to retain or reveal the underlying payload. Isolation and Sandboxing Every execution runs in an ephemeral, sandboxed environment with no network access, no filesystem persistence, and no shared state between executions. This applies both to Code Mode runtime and to attestation node verification work. Deterministic Integrity Determinism is not just a feature, it is a security guarantee. Identical inputs always produce identical certificate hashes, enabling independent verification without trusting the original operator or NexArt. Data Retention and Storage Boundaries NexArt stores certification metadata and the canonical CER bundle required for verification. Raw execution payloads from integrating systems are the customer's responsibility. See the CER Retention Policy for retention windows and lifecycle states. Authentication and Access Control API key authentication with hashed credentials at rest. Account-level quota enforcement. No shared API key pools. Keys can be rotated and revoked from the developer console without affecting outstanding records. Audit Evidence and Verification Every certified record can be independently verified at verify.nexart.io with no account, no API key, and no dependency on NexArt being online. Verification recomputes the SHA-256 certificate hash and checks the Ed25519 attestation signature against the issuing node's public key. Threat Model NexArt explicitly models threats including record tampering, execution replay attacks, key compromise, node impersonation, and downstream payload manipulation. The integrity guarantee is bound to the certificate hash returned by the attestation node and is not recomputed or overridden by storage. Standards Alignment The architecture is designed to support evidence requirements under ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act high-risk obligations. What NexArt Does Not Do NexArt does not validate semantic correctness, score outputs, or guarantee that an AI decision is right. Verification proves integrity of the recorded execution, not correctness of the underlying judgment.

Inputs, outputs, and context bound into a single independently verifiable artifact. Certified Execution Records The core artifact of verifiable AI execution. Tamper-evident, independently verifiable proof of what an AI system actually executed. CERs replace opaque AI logs with cryptographically sealed evidence. The problem with traditional AI logs Logs are mutable, incomplete, and unverifiable. They can be edited, deleted, or fabricated after the fact. Inputs and outputs are rarely bound together, and there is no cryptographic guarantee that what you see now is what actually happened. How Certified Execution Records solve this A CER captures inputs, outputs, parameters, and execution context in a canonical bundle. A SHA-256 certificate hash binds the protected fields. An independent attestation node countersigns the record with an Ed25519 signature. The result is a single artifact that anyone can verify offline, without trusting the operator. What a CER looks like Bundle type: cer.ai.execution.v1 (or other versioned types) Snapshot: inputs, parameters, outputs, model identifier, timestamp Context: optional execution trace, environment, retrieval and tool calls Certificate hash: SHA-256 over the canonicalized protected fields Attestation receipt: Ed25519 signature from an independent node Logs vs CERs at a glance Logs describe behavior. CERs prove execution. Logs are observability. CERs are evidence. The two are complementary, but only one holds up under independent audit. Integrity guarantees SHA-256 certificate hash over canonicalized fields Ed25519-signed attestation receipts Full execution context binding when context is included Offline verification with no API key or account required When verifiable execution matters Regulated workflows, governed decisions, AI agents, financial services, evaluation pipelines, and any system where an AI output may later be challenged. Who uses CERs Builders, compliance teams, auditors, and end customers. The same record serves all of them because it can be verified by anyone, with no shared infrastructure dependency.

Canonical field ordering, stable SHA-256 certificate hashes, and versioned guarantees ensure identical inputs always produce identical proof. Deterministic Execution Records Same inputs produce the same certificate hash. Always. This page defines what NexArt guarantees and what it does not. What we guarantee For a given protocol version, a canonicalized input set always produces the same SHA-256 certificate hash across runtimes and environments that conform to the specification. Anyone can recompute the hash and confirm the record. What we do not guarantee We do not guarantee that the same prompt sent to a non-deterministic model returns the same output. We guarantee that whatever was actually returned is sealed and verifiable. Determinism applies to the record, not to the underlying model behavior. Best-effort reproducibility Where the underlying execution is deterministic (Code Mode), reproducibility is exact. Where the underlying execution is best-effort (LLM calls), the record still verifies, even though replaying the call may produce a different output. Versioning Canonicalization rules and protocol semantics are version-pinned. Records produced under v1 verify under v1 forever, regardless of later protocol changes. Breaking changes Breaking changes happen at major version boundaries only and are documented in the public specification at docs.nexart.io.

SoundArt, Code Mode, Shapes, and Noise are protocol-enforced and executed via the Code Mode runtime. Modes: Protocol Execution Surfaces NexArt supports multiple modes. A mode is a protocol surface for authoring a generative system, with defined inputs, execution semantics, and determinism guarantees. Protocol-enforced modes are executed through the Code Mode runtime and produce canonical units. SoundArt SoundArt enables audio-reactive generative systems. Audio input drives output through deterministic parameter mapping. Audio features are normalized into a frozen SoundSnapshot, injected into the Code Mode runtime as read-only parameters, and rendered using seeded randomness and deterministic noise functions. Identical audio input and seed always produce identical output. Code Mode Code Mode allows direct specification of execution logic through code. Execution is deterministic. The protocol enforces seeded randomness and controlled noise functions, and disallows non-deterministic operations. Code Mode is the shared execution environment for all protocol-enforced modes. Shapes Shapes provides geometric primitives for composition. Systems are built from circles, rectangles, lines, and other basic forms. Shape definitions are processed by the Code Mode runtime using standardized primitive definitions and rasterization rules. Noise Noise generates textures and patterns using procedural noise functions such as Perlin, Simplex, and Worley.

Audit-ready evidence from tamper-evident AI execution records. Auditable AI Execution: Standards Alignment Certified Execution Records and signed attestation receipts provide structured, tamper-evident evidence that maps to requirements across ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act. What NexArt provides For each certified run, NexArt produces a canonical CER bundle, a SHA-256 certificate hash over the protected fields, and an Ed25519-signed attestation receipt issued by an independent node. The bundle is independently verifiable and exportable for long-term audit storage. Control outcomes The evidence supports three control outcomes that auditors typically look for: integrity of the recorded execution, attribution to a specific signing node at a specific time, and reproducibility of the verification result. Typical audit workflow Auditor receives a CER ID or bundle from the audited party Auditor opens the record at verify.nexart.io or recomputes locally with the published verification rules Hash recomputation and signature check produce a PASS or FAIL result Result is captured as evidence in the auditor's working papers What you can claim when verification PASSes That the captured inputs, outputs, parameters, and context have not been altered since the record was sealed, and that an independent node attested the record at the recorded timestamp. SOC 2 mapping Deterministic execution, sandboxed isolation, hashed credentials, and cryptographic binding align with Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy criteria. Certified records provide processing-integrity evidence specifically for AI workflows. NIST AI RMF mapping Verifiable execution records support the Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, particularly for documentation, traceability, and post-deployment monitoring. ISO/IEC 42001 mapping CERs provide the execution evidence layer required for AI lifecycle documentation, risk management, operational controls, and audit readiness under ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management Systems. EU AI Act For high-risk AI systems with obligations effective August 2026, CERs provide the traceability and record-keeping evidence required by Articles 12 and 19, in a form that auditors and notified bodies can independently verify. What NexArt does not cover NexArt does not produce policy documentation, run conformity assessments, or provide legal opinions. It produces the verifiable execution evidence layer that those processes consume.

The integrity anchor for the record. Attestation Node An independent signing node that issues Ed25519-signed receipts for CERs, attesting that it observed the bundle at a specific time. Signed Receipt An Ed25519 signature over the certificate hash issued by an attestation node. Verifiable against the node's published public key. bundleType The protocol-versioned identifier for a CER bundle, such as cer.ai.execution.v1. Project Bundle A grouping of multiple certified executions into a single verifiable artifact with one Project Hash, used for multi-step or agentic workflows. Context Signals Structured signals describing the execution environment, optionally bound into the CER and protected by the certificate hash. Deterministic Execution Execution where identical inputs always produce identical outputs. Code Mode is deterministic; AI Execution is best-effort with deterministic record sealing.
