Proof-Carrying Inference
ICSM completion transactions export cryptographic proof — binding each result digest to its authorized execution context.
About Nelix
Attested Infrastructure Inference for systems that cannot depend on the cloud
Nelix Chip Design Ltd. is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Accra, Ghana. We engineer InferEdge JBIA accelerators, TrustCore-secured processors, and SecureGrid infrastructure silicon that deliver Proof-Carrying Inference — completion transactions with cryptographic proof — for power-constrained, connectivity-limited, and mission-critical deployment.

01 — Our Mission
Attested Infrastructure Inference, engineered in Accra
Strategic mandate
Mission: Nelix engineers Attested Infrastructure Inference (AII) — silicon that exports Proof-Carrying Inference with cryptographic proof of execution context, not generic security claims. InferEdge JBIA, SecureGrid, and TrustCore share one trust plane for field deployment reality.
Vision: Systems that cannot depend on the cloud deserve inference hardware designed for intermittent power, constrained bandwidth, and sustained high ambient temperatures — with attestation from manufacture through Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations.
Why It Matters: Most edge AI still runs on imported accelerators built for datacenter assumptions. Operators need deterministic INT8/INT4 inference in sub-15 W envelopes, ICSM completion transactions under Energy Contract, and proof they can verify independently — not marketing assertions.

02 — Our Story
From FPGA validation to first silicon
Origin narrative
Nelix began with a field observation: critical infrastructure AI is moving to the edge, but most inference still runs on general-purpose compute or imported accelerators never designed for unstable power, high ambient heat, or networks that spend part of their life offline.
Our founding team set out to build Attested Infrastructure Inference in Accra — a shared TrustCore trust plane, InferEdge JBIA completion transactions, SecureGrid measurement integrity, and Proof-Carrying Inference export before any model executes.
Today our platform runs on FPGA validation platforms while we work with foundry and ecosystem partners toward first tape-out. We publish progress honestly — we are pre-silicon, and we intend to earn trust the way attestation does: by being verified.

Stage 02 / 04
2026
/ Founding
Incorporated in Accra
Nelix Chip Design Ltd. is founded and GIPC-registered in Accra as a fabless semiconductor company with a mandate to engineer Attested Infrastructure Inference.
01
Stage 01
/ Architecture
AII platform specification
InferEdge JBIA, SecureGrid, TrustCore Trust Continuum, ICSM completion transactions, and Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations specified around one shared attestation boundary.
02
Stage 02
/ FPGA Validation
Silicon-proven on FPGA
Core architectures run on FPGA validation platforms today — exercising secure boot, attestation, JBIA completion, and Proof-Carrying Inference export ahead of tape-out. This is our current stage.
03
Stage 03
/ First Silicon
Path to tape-out
Working with foundry and packaging partners toward first silicon, followed by pilot deployments and Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations with infrastructure partners.
0403 ??? Leadership

Headquarters — Accra, Ghana
Design, architecture, and FPGA validation are led from Accra, where Nelix Chip Design Ltd. is incorporated and GIPC-registered. JBIA specification, TrustCore integration, and attestation testing are led from here.
Field Deployment
Utilities, grid operators, and infrastructure teams deploying Attested Infrastructure Inference in power-constrained, connectivity-limited, and mission-critical environments worldwide.
Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations
PCI export, fleet admit, and offline result queues — attested inference operations designed for field reality, not datacenter assumptions.
05 — How We Work
Proof is earned in attestation
We are a pre-silicon company in an industry where claims are cheap and Proof-Carrying Inference is everything. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to at every stage.
Proof-Carrying Inference
ICSM completion transactions export cryptographic proof — attested boot, per-die identity, and result digests bound to execution context, not marketing assertions.
TrustCore Trust Continuum
Continuous hardware trust from manufacture to retirement — PUF identity, measured boot, signed model delivery, and proof signing on every Nelix die.
Attestation Before Features
The trust boundary is designed before the feature list. Every product inherits the same TrustCore anchor and secure lifecycle.
Field Deployment Reality
Specified for unstable power, high ambient heat, physical tamper exposure, and offline workflows — because that is where attested inference must run.
