Exchange Architecture
A Federated Architecture for Sovereign AI
The Interval Exchange architecture addresses the fundamental challenge of modern data collaboration: enabling AI-driven insights across organizational boundaries while maintaining strict data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. It resolves the tension between global data intelligence and privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PIPA by creating a federated ecosystem where raw data never leaves its sovereign environment, yet high-value intelligence can be shared securely across borders.
Architectural Pillars
The architecture operates on a foundation of Sovereign Data Processing, where each organization maintains complete control over their raw data within their own Harvest Data Pipeline. Raw enterprise data from CRM, ERP, and database sources flows through a carefully orchestrated Intelligence Agent processing pipeline:
Raw Tables: Unfiltered ingestion.
Standardized Tables: Intelligence Agents strip Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and create structured, searchable datasets.
Interval Data Standard Assets: Enhanced data quality and mapped entity relationships optimized for AI analysis.
Each transformation is protected by end-to-end encryption and anchored to the Interval Blockchain for immutable provenance tracking. Provenance records are represented as standardized attestations using the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS).
Blockchain-Based Trust Layer
The exchange mechanism is powered by a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain that creates transparency without exposing sensitive data. The application layer of the Interval exchange comprises:
Provenance System: Records Data Provenance Records for lineage capture and Event Logs for immutable audit trails.
Marketplace: Provides the asset registry layer for derivative data NFT listing, discovery, and transactions.
License Management: Issues ERC-5006 License NFTs to enforce usage terms such as seat limits, duration, regional restrictions, and access levels.
The Transaction Flow
The Data Broker & Matching system orchestrates the entire transaction flow:
Once a license is purchased, the derivative asset is securely delivered through the same Secure Data Delivery Pipeline that Harvest uses for ingestion: VPN Tunnel transport encryption, TLS Encryption for end-to-end security, and Network Gateway access control before reaching the buyer’s Harvest Instance.
The delivered assets become accessible through their private Intelligence Agent Framework for local analysis and insights. This model enables enterprises to participate in the global data economy while maintaining complete sovereignty over their sensitive information.
