Who we are

We built the systems the internet runs on. Now we are building what runs after it.

Weilliptic is a team of distributed systems engineers building the foundation for a world where machines act on their own and every action still has to be proven. We have done this before, at the scale of Amazon, Facebook and every company that runs Cassandra. This time the actors are not machines that fail. They are agents that can lie.

The team

The people who made data survive machine failure, now making it survive dishonest actors.

Founded by the co-inventor of Amazon Dynamo and the creator of Apache Cassandra. Backed by True Ventures.

Amazon Dynamo

Co-invented. The system behind the NoSQL movement, built to stay available through machine failure.

2008

Apache Cassandra

Created. Distributed storage that runs across data centers with no single point of failure.

2012

Hedvig

Founded. Software-defined storage across clouds, acquired by Commvault.

Now

Weilliptic

The stack for autonomous systems: shared state that holds when up to a third of participants are faulty or adversarial.

What we are building

Every era was defined by what it assumed could fail.

Mainframes assumed the hardware could fail. Client-server assumed the machine could. The Internet assumed nodes and networks could. This is the first era where the thing that fails can also lie.

An agent can be prompt-injected, lose its credentials, or look healthy while compromised. An operator sits inside the trust boundary. A log is written by the system under question. Infrastructure built for the last era trusts all three.

Weilliptic is built on the opposite assumption. Any actor can be wrong or malicious, and the system still proves what happened.

How we build

Three rules, applied to every layer.

01

Assume actors lie.

Nothing is trusted because of where it sits. Not the agent, not the log, not the operator. Every action carries its own proof.

02

Prove, do not log.

A record is only evidence if someone with no reason to trust you can check it. Every receipt is attested by a quorum before it is committed.

03

One stack, not a toolbox.

Identity, authority, memory, events and evidence come from the same layer, so they agree with each other. Whichever product you start with, the rest is already there.
