NEO evidence rail · the 8ra federation, twinned · with SAP

Every firm of the 8ra consortium, running as a twin — with SAP's signal at every server

From 15 October 2026 the consortium's 122 organisations run as twins on the Telemach cluster: each with its own edge and book, SAP's ApeiroRA audit-logging collector in front of it, on the same rail that has sealed four real companies every minute since 29 September. Nothing leaves a provider but 33 bytes a minute. Every member holds a proof for every minute. The federation can prove its month to anyone, offline.

Why together — the mission, in one line

8ra's mission is a multi-provider cloud-edge continuum: sovereign, open, interoperable, for Europe by Europe. A continuum of many providers needs one thing no provider can supply alone — proof between providers. SAP puts the signal at every server; NEO gives the federation one verifiable time.

8ra · the mission

Many providers, one continuum

Cloud and edge from many providers, combined with open standards, under European control. The hard part is not the compute — it is who keeps the record of what happened between providers, and how anyone checks it without opening anyone's data.

The signal at every server

The reference blueprint of the continuum, and its audit-logging collector: every event source-signed at the machine, verified strict, the pipeline unchanged. Platform Mesh and its showroom are the events a provider really produces — placements, instances, tokens, grants.

One verifiable time for all of them

The edge beside the collector keeps the firm's book; one 32-byte commitment a minute goes through one door into the accounting cell; the DLT seals every ten minutes with two witnesses and post-quantum signatures; the Chamber governs; the marketplace trades. Every member holds its proof.

the edge · the door · the cell · the seal · the Chamber · the marketplace
Together: every provider keeps its own truth, and the federation can prove it — to a partner, an auditor or a court, months later, offline, with public keys. That is the piece of the continuum that turns many clouds and edges into one.

What runs today — the pilot, live since 29 September

—objects a second through the door
—objects through the door, in all
—objects folded into one root, live
—companies through the door once a minute
—periods proven at one real edge
—seconds from close to seal

Four real companies' edges, each booking a thousand records a second, fold their minute into one commitment; ten thousand simulated companies send one each a minute; a source loop pushes a hundred thousand objects a second through the same door — and every ten minutes the rail seals it all and every edge fetches its proof. Read live from the running system: the pilot page.

What starts 15 October — the federation's twin

Every organisation on 8ra's public participant list gets a twin: an edge with its name, its own book and key, SAP's collector in front of it — 122 members, twelve member states, and the 8ra Chamber with an edge of its own. Your twin, NEOsap, is one of the twenty providers; the other nineteen carry your collector too.

20 providers — compute, LLM, storage, network, edge sites — the collectors carry the showroom's signal

The month, day by day — what the room will see

  1. Thu 15 OctRegistrations. 122 twins register with the 8ra Chamber through our wallet by script; one by hand, in under five minutes. Every admission is a decision booked at the Chamber's own edge and sealed on the rail.
  2. Fri 16 OctThe edges tick. 122 commitments a minute on the door. The twenty providers' collectors take the showroom's event mix — placements, instances, tokens, grants — source-signed and verified strict, one record a minute each.
  3. Mon 19 OctThe deal day. Every customer buys one thing in the NEO8ra marketplace — an edge, an API, a service: 92 deals, a record at each party's edge, both parties' proofs inside the window, the confirmation on the deal page.
  4. 20 Oct – 4 NovSteady state. Deals every day, receipts of performance, nettings on Sundays, SLA records daily. German data is placed only at the six German providers; a scripted attempt to place it abroad is refused at the gate — and the refusal is a record.
  5. Thu 5 NovThe breach. One provider breaks its SLA for ten customers. Ten claims. The Chamber rules within the day on sealed evidence: the side without a receipt loses, the side that withholds evidence loses. Ten rulings, each a record.
  6. Thu 12 NovThe month's end. The deliveries netted to one amount per member from what the records show — no receipt, no payment. Every event provable from the member's own kit.
  7. November8ra.hack. Real people join the same market through the wallet and the onboarding kit; the twin is the market's liquidity; a leaderboard by proofs held and deals completed.

What we ask of SAP — and what SAP gets

The ask

  • 15 servers of a test landscape now — your collector already there, our edge beside it: a container of about 100 MB, six configuration values, a WireGuard peer. One engineer, one day for the first site.
  • 150 by December — the landscape the twin rehearses from 15 October, with your names on it.
  • An ORD namespace, the edge as a Platform Mesh offering, a named test site for the strict verifier.
  • Paris, March 2027 — the continuum's evidence rail shown together at the 8ra General Assembly.

What SAP gets

  • Pick any minute of any server and verify it offline — your collector's records, proven at every server, no data leaving it.
  • Your December landscape, rehearsed at federation scale a month early: 122 members, SAP's signal at the twenty providers, deals, nettings, one ruling — every number read from the running system.
  • The evidence layer the continuum lacks, running on European iron beside your blueprint: many providers, one verifiable time, nobody's data copied.
  • Nothing changes for you: the collector stays as it is; the edge is a small container beside it; 33 bytes a minute leave.

Everything on this page runs or is on a branch: the rail and the four real edges since 29 September (live above), the twin's manifests, roster and driver, the Chamber's registration, the marketplace with 2.7 million offers. Nothing is promised that is not built.
