Sovereign Trading Infrastructure

CONFIDENTIAL
For CTOs, CIOs, and Heads of Infrastructure evaluating ZeroCopy as an alternative to Fireblocks, AWS KMS, and in-house custody.
Current custodial solutions (Fireblocks, BitGo, AWS KMS) introduce latency of 130ms+ (P99). In algorithmic trading, this is 5-7x the cost of the trade itself. We call this the Jitter Tax.
SaaS signing relies on vendor trust: AWS could be compromised, Fireblocks could be subpoenaed, in-house solutions require staffing and liability. No cryptographic guarantee exists, only operational security promises.
Approval workflows, multi-sig delays, and vendor audit requirements compound latency. You pay in both milliseconds and legal cycles.
ZeroCopy deploys signing infrastructure into your own AWS VPC using Nitro Enclaves. Your keys never leave your infrastructure. The enclave is the custodian, not us.

AWS cannot extract keys from Nitro Enclaves without cryptographic attestation failures. The hardware enforces isolation. AWS staff cannot SSH into the enclave.
We do not rely on AWS to protect keys. Keys are generated inside the enclave in encrypted RAM. AWS has no access. This is verifiable via attestation proofs.
42µs raw ECDSA time. With network overhead (vsock), end-to-end signing latency is under 1ms. This is 1,786x faster than Turnkey.
Yes. We provide source code access under NDA for SOC 2 audits. Third-party audit is scheduled for Q3 2026.
ZeroCopy supports SEC 17a-4 (immutable records), EU AI Act (deterministic policies), and MiCA custody exemptions (self-custody architecture).
