Anton Livaja is Co-Founder and CEO of Caution SEZC, a verifiable confidential compute platform that cryptographically proves what software is running on a server in real time, eliminating an entire class of supply chain and runtime attacks.

Anton built his career as a software and security engineer, serving as a founding team member at Ledn and later delivering blockchain security audits at OpenZeppelin, before co-founding Distrust, an open-source R&D and security consultancy focused on mission-critical infrastructure.

Anton's conviction is that 'trust us, it's secure' is no longer sufficient; organizations must be able to cryptographically demonstrate the integrity of their critical systems rather than simply promise it.

Prior to Caution, Anton and his co-founder Lance Vick spent years at Distrust securing high-stakes organizations in crypto and fintech, collectively helping protect over $600B in digital assets and identifying the infrastructure gaps that Caution was built to solve.

Caution, a Y Combinator S26 company, is already in production with customers spanning crypto infrastructure, digital asset lending, consumer hardware, post-quantum security, and private AI inference, with its fully open-source platform deployable in minutes via a simple git workflow.
