Industry: Cloud & Infrastructure Providers

Escape the Commoditization Trap with the Sovereignty Premium

Turn generic infrastructure into a Verifiable Compute Platform. Command higher margins by attracting the cloud-wary, high-value workloads.

Strategic Context

Differentiate or Die

The cloud market is entering a phase of rapid commoditization. GPU capacity—even the latest H100s and H200s—is becoming a generic resource. For Hyperscalers and Tier-2 providers, competing on price alone is a race to the bottom. To maintain margins and attract the most lucrative AI workloads, providers must offer more than just "Compute"—they must offer "Truth."

Lucid allows cloud providers to upgrade their commodity silicon into a Verifiable Compute Platform. We enable you to capture the "Sovereignty Premium"—the 30% higher margins that customers are willing to pay for cryptographically verified security and jurisdictional control.

The Technical Mechanism

Verifiable SKUs:

Launch premium "Lucid Verified" instances that provide customers with an automated, hardware-signed attestation of environment integrity.

Silicon Trust Anchors:

Expose underlying TEE capabilities (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, Nvidia H100) through a unified, Lucid-powered verification APIs.

Independent Auditing:

Allow customers to monitor their own "Auditor Layer" telemetry, reducing the provider's legal liability and operational friction.

The Lucid Argument

Command the Premium

Don't compete with AWS and Azure on scale—compete on trust. Lucid enables small and mid-market providers to out-maneuver hyperscalers by offering deeper technical sovereignty.

30%
Price Premium

Average higher margin commanded by "Sovereign" or "Verified" cloud instances compared to standard compute.

2.5x
Tier-1 Retention

Retain and attract highly regulated government and enterprise workloads that previously required on-premise hardware.

Minimized
Liability Risk

Significantly reduce provider liability via hardware-rooted auditability that shifts the burden of proof to the silicon.
