Decentralization requires open, traceable and repairable hardware. Currently almost all of Ethereum nodes are running in corporate clouds that are privative, opaque, and planned for obsolescence.

The RISC-V instruction set architecture has a free license. This opens space for many of the explorations needed in a decentralized economy, otherwise blocked by the corporations that dominate technology.

Sonata is a platform that puts CHERIoT hardware in the hands of embedded systems engineers.
The CHERIoT technology was initially created by Microsoft using lowRISC’s RISC-V Ibex® core and based on the CHERI research at the University of Cambridge and SRI International. CHERI mitigates memory safety vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows and use after free. On top of this, CHERIoT capabilities allow for scalable and efficient compartmentalisation, which is essential if you want to run untrusted software on your embedded systems.
