# Lilypad x Gateway

Lilypad is thrilled to announce a landmark partnership with Gateway, the team behind the Shared Private State, to build the private, encrypted foundation of decentralized AI.

This isn’t just a bridge between networks — it’s an encrypted tunnel to the future. Together, we unlock programmable, verifiable, privacy-preserving AI compute at scale.

## 🌟 Details of Partnership - Synergistic Strengths

Lilypad provides:

* A decentralized GPU marketplace for running inference, model training, and agentic workflows
    
* Verifiable, modular AI-first compute layer with blockchain-coordinated payment rails and provenance
    
* Composable job architecture to plug into any system — agents, dApps, research pipelines, L2s
    

Gateway delivers:

* Encrypted compute powered by their MPC-based Shared Private State
    
* Programmable cryptography for developers through SDKs in Go, JavaScript, and Rust
    
* A full Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) Marketplace including garbled circuits, proxy re-encryption, TEEs, and homomorphic encryption
    

Combined, we form a stack that makes confidential decentralized AI usable, scalable, and programmable.

## 🔧 Practical Synergies (Short-Term)

What’s possible today:

* AI models deployed on Lilypad can now run encrypted through Gateway’s Shared Private State
    
* PETs like proxy re-encryption and garbled circuits now plug into live GPU compute workflows
    
* Devs can integrate Gateway SDKs with Lilypad job endpoints to spin up fully encrypted training and inference pipelines
    

Use cases already underway:

* Federated healthcare AI where patient data never leaves encrypted state — powered by Gateway’s encryption and Lilypad’s GPUs
    
* Confidential financial model training — fraud detection and risk scoring across encrypted, multi-institution data
    
* Private enterprise AI — companies retain full IP privacy while accessing Lilypad’s distributed compute grid

## 🚀 Roadmap Collaboration (Mid-Term)

Over the next few months:

* We’ll co-launch a POC showing encrypted LLM inference on Lilypad using Gateway’s Garbled Circuit SDK
    
* Gateway’s PET marketplace will be integrated into Lilypad’s developer documentation and workflow guides
    
* Builders will get co-branded examples, tutorials, and grant support for privacy-preserving AI applications
    

Future milestones:

* Composable privacy primitives layered directly into Lilypad’s job architecture
    
* zk-like encrypted compute receipts for verifiability + confidentiality
    
* Gateway PET modules powering AI agents, simulations, and multi-party compute coordination
    

Together, we’re building the secure compute core of the decentralized AI stack.

## 📈 Strategic Value - Why It Matters

This is a strategic unlock for DeAI:

* Encryption + Compute = Confidential Coordination
    
* Gateway enables Lilypad jobs to run on sensitive data without leaking inputs, outputs, or model logic
    
* From healthcare to finance to agentic infrastructure, privacy is no longer a blocker — it’s now programmable
    

Benefits to the Web3 and OSS ecosystem:

* PETs + Compute workflows that devs can integrate without complex infra
    
* Launchpad for a new generation of DePIN x AI applications with built-in privacy
    
* Elevates Lilypad’s position from just verifiable compute to verifiable + confidential compute
    

For developers:

* One-click access to encrypted job execution
    
* Modular SDKs in the language of your choice
    
* Ability to deploy next-gen AI agents without exposing model logic or user data

## 🌍 Long-Term Vision – Infrastructure for Encrypted Autonomous Intelligence

Lilypad and Gateway are aligned in the belief that decentralized AI must be both scalable and secure.

This partnership advances:

* A Layer 0 for DeAI where encrypted state, compute liquidity, and model logic meet
    
* A framework for encrypted model marketplaces, agent networks, and shared inference layers
    
* A decentralized stack for programmable privacy, economic coordination, and agent autonomy
    

This sets a new precedent for ecosystem-aligned infrastructure: not just decentralized — encrypted, composable, and unstoppable.

## 📅 What’s Next

Immediate:

* Teams are co-building a proof-of-concept using Garbled Circuits + Lilypad compute
    
* Gateway SDKs now available for encrypted data vault and PET development
    
* Shared roadmap, dev documentation and example jobs publishing soon
    

Medium-term:

* PET Marketplace + Lilypad compute integrated via SDK and UI
    
* Partner developer campaigns to co-fund new private DeAI primitives
    
* Joint GTM for secure agent frameworks and confidential compute ecosystems
