Trust is structural here.
Not a badge wall. SLYD's trust model is built into how deals are structured: you hold title, the lender holds the lien, every event is timestamped in a shared record, and your workloads run on infrastructure you effectively own. Here's exactly how — and an honest read on where compliance certifications stand.
Custody & title
Buyer holds title, lender holds lien, SLYD holds neither. Clear ownership from day one.
Audit trail
Every advance, milestone, and state change timestamped in one shared deal record.
Data control
Workloads run on hardware you own or control. LXD isolation, no shared kernel surprises.
Lender oversight
Lenders see each deal's milestones and event history through the shared record.
Three parties. Clear lines. No commingling.
The structural reason SLYD is trustworthy isn't a promise — it's that no single party holds conflicting roles. SLYD never takes title and never takes principal, so our incentives can't quietly diverge from yours.
Holds title.
From close, the buyer owns the cluster outright. You can depreciate it, build equity in it, and operate it under your own control. SLYD has no ownership claim on your hardware.
Holds the lien.
The financing partner holds a security interest in the cluster until the term completes. They see the deal's milestones and event history through the shared record.
Holds neither.
SLYD originates, arranges, deploys, and clears the marketplace. We take clearing fees and spreads — never title, never principal, never your data. That's the whole alignment story.
Every event, timestamped & shared.
The shared deal record isn't a SLYD convenience — it's the audit substrate. Every party who touches a deal writes to the same append-only log. Operators, buyers, brokers, lenders, and SLYD ops all read the same history. No private side-ledgers, no reconciliation gaps.
Your workloads. Your hardware. Your perimeter.
Data control isn't a slogan — it's the architecture. Because the buyer owns the cluster, the workloads run on infrastructure under the buyer's control, not on shared multi-tenant cloud you don't see.
LXD isolation
SLYD Cloud runs on LXD system containers — bare-metal-like isolation, native GPU passthrough, no shared-kernel multi-tenant surprises. Zero Kubernetes anywhere in the stack.
On-prem control plane
License SLYD Cloud and the entire control plane runs inside your environment. No customer data leaves your perimeter — only the billing metadata you choose to share.
Regional placement
You choose where the cluster physically sits — jurisdiction, grid, and interconnect. Data residency follows the iron, and the iron is on your site.
What we have, and what we don't. Yet.
SLYD is an early-stage infrastructure company. We will not claim certifications we don't hold. Here's exactly where formal compliance stands, and what's planned.
SLYD holds no third-party attestations at this time. Security questionnaires are answered on request. We'd rather tell you that plainly than imply otherwise. What we do have is a custody model, audit substrate, and isolation architecture that are built to pass those audits when we pursue them — and an honest roadmap below.
HIPAA readiness
BAA framework and safeguards for healthcare-adjacent buyers. Scoped, not yet executed.
FedRAMP path
Assessing the moderate baseline for public-sector workloads. Long horizon, deliberate.
Trust questions, answered straight.
Who holds title to hardware in a SLYD deal?
The buyer holds title to the cluster from close and can depreciate it, build equity in it, and operate it under their own control. The lender holds a security interest until the term completes. SLYD holds neither — it takes clearing fees and spreads, never title, principal, or your data.
How does SLYD's audit trail work?
Every party who touches a deal writes to the same append-only event log. Entries are never edited or deleted — only superseded with a new timestamped entry — and each one carries the actor, role, and a content hash. Lenders and auditors can export the full chain for any deal on demand.
Who controls my data and workloads on SLYD?
Because the buyer owns the cluster, workloads run on infrastructure under the buyer's control rather than on shared multi-tenant cloud. SLYD Cloud uses LXD system containers with native GPU passthrough, a licensed control plane runs inside your environment, and you choose the jurisdiction where the cluster physically sits.
Does SLYD hold third-party security certifications?
No. SLYD holds no third-party attestations at this time and will not claim certifications it doesn't hold. Security questionnaires are answered on request. HIPAA readiness is planned, and a FedRAMP path is being evaluated.
What oversight do lenders get on SLYD deals?
Lenders hold the lien and see the deal's milestones and event history through the shared record. Every advance, milestone, and state change is timestamped in the shared record, so there is never an information gap between advance and repayment — and the full chain is exportable on demand.
