About Enclave
Enclave is a cloud compute platform that runs GPU workloads inside confidential enclaves, meaning the operators physically cannot see your data even though they own the hardware. It pairs flagship NVIDIA GPUs with AMD SEV-SNP trusted execution environments, and every deployment comes with cryptographic attestation you can verify client-side before sending anything sensitive.
The problem it solves is trust in cloud GPU compute. When you rent GPUs from a traditional provider, you're trusting that they won't inspect your data, but that trust is policy-based, not hardware-enforced. Enclave flips that by using confidential computing where the hardware itself prevents the operator from accessing what's running inside. If you're processing proprietary models, private data, or anything you can't afford to leak, this architecture removes the need to just take someone's word for it.
Technically, you deploy WebAssembly applications with WASI HTTP support into sandboxed environments running on confidential GPUs. Each tenant gets process isolation, VRAM is zeroed before reuse between tenants, and TLS terminates inside the enclave so even network traffic is protected end to end. The platform exposes a CORS-enabled API, which means you can hit it directly from browser-based applications without backend proxies.
The audience is developers building privacy-sensitive GPU applications, crypto-native projects that need verifiable security, and enterprises running workloads where compliance requires proving no third party can access the data. If you've ever hesitated to use cloud GPUs because you couldn't fully trust the provider, this is designed for that scenario.
What differentiates it from other GPU cloud providers is the attestation model. Before you send data, you can verify a cryptographic report that proves the enclave is configured correctly and hasn't been tampered with. This isn't a promise in a terms of service but a hardware-backed proof you can check in code. The team also publishes source code on GitHub and maintains open-source verification tools.
Pricing is metered per second and paid in ETH or USDC. GPU and VRAM run about six dollars per hour for a full card, with fractional shares available. CPU and RAM cost around three dollars per hour per node. Payments are forward only, unspent time survives a stop but can't be withdrawn, which is a crypto-native model that matches the wallet-based account system.
Key Features

Pros & Cons
What we like
- Hardware-enforced privacy, not just policy promises
- Attestation lets you verify before sending data
- Fractional GPU shares lower the entry cost
- Open-source verification tools build trust
Room for improvement
- Crypto payments only, no traditional invoicing
- WebAssembly requirement limits deployment options
- Younger platform with a smaller user base
- No refunds on prepaid compute time

It just works
Have been running Enclave for a while, here is where I land. Their take on client-side cryptographic attestation is genuinely good. Glad I made the switch.
Exactly what I needed
Started using Enclave casually, now it is pinned in my dock. The client-side cryptographic attestation is more useful than I expected. It does what it says, which is rarer than it should be. Found it works best for deploying browser-accessible gpu services via cors api. Glad I made the switch.
Pulled its weight from week one
Enclave solves a real problem for me without making a fuss about it. What stands out is how it handles open-source verification tools build trust.
Pulled its weight from week one
Enclave has quietly become part of my daily flow. What stands out is how it handles client-side cryptographic attestation. Found it works best for processing private data on rented gpus with compliance guarantees. Glad I made the switch.
Quietly excellent
Came to Enclave after getting frustrated with what I had before. Got real value out of attestation lets you verify before sending data. Would sign up again without thinking twice.
Recommended without reservation
Tried Enclave on a side project first, then rolled it out everywhere. Got real value out of webassembly sandbox with wasi http. It just works, day after day, without surprises. Mostly using it for building crypto-native applications with verifiable compute. It earns its place in my stack.
It just works
Found Enclave on a Show HN thread and I am glad I clicked. Where it really wins is confidential gpu enclaves with amd sev-snp. Mostly using it for building crypto-native applications with verifiable compute. Glad I made the switch.

Enclave has quietly become part of my daily flow. Got real value out of hardware-enforced privacy, not just policy promises. It does what it says, which is rarer than it should be. Found it works best for building crypto-native applications with verifiable compute. Hard to imagine going back to my old setup.
Finally something that fits
Hadn't planned on switching, but Enclave was hard to ignore. What stands out is how it handles client-side cryptographic attestation. Found it works best for processing private data on rented gpus with compliance guarantees.
It just works
Picked Enclave for the price, stayed for the quality. Their take on webassembly sandbox with wasi http is genuinely good. Support actually answered when I had a question, which surprised me. Mostly using it for processing private data on rented gpus with compliance guarantees.
