## Executive Summary

EQTY Lab gives regulated buyers a cryptographic way to prove where their AI came from, certifying the lineage of AI data, models, and agents and recording it on a shared ledger that cannot be edited after the fact. It built this with Intel and NVIDIA, whose secure chips produce the tamper-proof records. That partnership is its biggest credential and its open question: the record shows both supplying foundations and collaborating, silent on what they might build themselves. RSA 2025 named EQTY a top 10 finalist, and its site presents Masdar and Hala Systems as customer stories, ADQ as a partnership, Stability AI as a collaboration. Those references all come from EQTY's own site and none discloses revenue or scale, so the demonstrated demand still trails the strength of the technology.
