Caution 做什么

Caution is a hosting platform for software you can't afford to get hacked. It simplifies and extends confidential compute, and lets developers deploy workloads to secure enclaves in minutes and give customers, auditors, and counterparties cryptographic proof that production is running the exact reviewed source code, build, configuration, and runtime - not an opaque binary controlled by a cloud operator or internal admin. Confidential computing hardware exists, but the tooling is too fragmented and incomplete for most teams to use well. Today, attestation often proves only that a binary has a certain hash; it does not prove what source code produced that binary. Building the missing deployment, reproducibility, and verification layer requires specialized security engineering and often locks teams into one cloud or hardware stack. Caution turns that into a simple git-based workflow that builds reproducible enclave images, provisions infrastructure, and lets anyone independently verify what is running. We built Caution after years securing high-risk systems through Distrust, where we worked with hedge funds, custodians, blockchain teams, cloud platforms, and critical grid operators on systems responsible for more than $600B in assets. Again and again, the same problem showed up: teams running mission-critical infrastructure could not reliably prove what was executing in production. As AI, fintech, healthcare, and regulated data collaboration move into the cloud, "trust us" is no longer enough. Caution is a general-purpose platform: if it runs on a server, it can run verifiably on Caution. We're starting where trust failures cost the most, but we believe verifiable compute will become the default way software runs, the same way HTTPS became the default way it's served. Infrastructure you can verify, not trust.

Hosting for software you can't afford to have hacked

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Caution is a hosting platform for running workloads in secure enclaves. Developers deploy code to confidential compute hardware, get cryptographic proof of what's running, and let customers or auditors independently verify production matches the reviewed source, build, and config. We manage the build, reproducibility, and attestation, and provide a git-based workflow so infra teams don't have to be low-level security experts to get real verifiability.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in George Town, Cayman Islands now, and will keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We set up in George Town for regulatory and legal reasons. The Cayman Islands is a known international base for infrastructure, fintech, and security-focused startups.
