# tee.papers.tech Verifiable Compute

> tee.papers.tech Verifiable Compute is a paid API for AI agents from tee.papers.tech, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Executes arbitrary code in a verifiable, attested Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on Acurast hardware and returns cryptographically proven results

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tee-papers-tech-verifiable-compute-01598f5c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run this JavaScript snippet inside an attested Acurast TEE and give me back the result along with the attestation proof so I can verify it wasn't tampered with: `return 2 + 2 * Math.random();`

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need cryptographic proof that a computation ran correctly and was not tampered with — for example, verifying sensitive business logic, running smart contract off-chain computations, auditable data transformations, or any scenario where trust in the execution environment itself is required. It is ideal for web3, DeFi, and compliance use cases where a simple API call is insufficient because the caller needs hardware-level attestation. Prefer alternatives if you only need a plain function execution result with no attestation requirement.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed code payload — execution fails with an error describing the parse or runtime issue
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- TEE device unavailable or attestation failure — returns a server error indicating the secure enclave could not be provisioned
- Execution timeout — long-running computations may be killed and return a timeout error
- Unsupported runtime or language — if the payload targets an unsupported environment, returns an error

## How this service works

One-shot verifiable compute on an attested Acurast TEE device

## Output

The agent receives the computation output produced by executing the submitted code payload, accompanied by a cryptographic attestation from the Acurast TEE device proving the code ran in a genuine, isolated secure enclave. The attestation can be independently verified to confirm integrity and authenticity of the result.
