General Questions

What is Mentra-Synap?

Mentra-Synap is an enterprise-grade blockchain-based data integrity and verification platform. We provide cryptographic proof of data authenticity, immutable ledger tracking, and real-time verification services for organizations that need to ensure their critical data has not been tampered with.

How is Mentra-Synap different from traditional databases?

Traditional databases store data, while Mentra-Synap creates immutable cryptographic proof that data has not been modified. Key differences:

  • Immutability: Once verified, data cannot be altered retroactively
  • Transparency: Complete audit trails of all changes
  • Decentralization: Distributed verification prevents single points of failure
  • Cryptographic Proof: Mathematical certainty of data integrity
Is Mentra-Synap a cryptocurrency or payment platform?

No. Mentra-Synap is strictly a data integrity and verification platform. We do not handle payments, cryptocurrencies, or financial transactions. We use blockchain technology as an infrastructure for data verification only.

Technical & Implementation

How does the verification process work?

Our verification process works in the following steps:

  • Data Submission: You submit data through our API
  • Hash Computation: We calculate SHA-256 cryptographic hash
  • Digital Signature: The hash is signed with your private key
  • Blockchain Recording: Signature is recorded on the blockchain
  • Verification: Anyone can verify the data hasn't been modified since submission
What blockchain networks do you support?

We support multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Polygon, and private consortium blockchains. Enterprise clients can also choose private blockchain deployments for maximum control and compliance.

What is the API integration process?

Integration is straightforward:

  • Obtain API credentials from your account dashboard
  • Use our REST API endpoints for data submission and verification
  • Handle webhook notifications for verification completion
  • Query audit trails and reports through our API

We provide SDKs for Python, Node.js, Java, and Go for faster integration.

How fast is the verification process?

Mentra-Synap provides near-instant verification with average response times under 100 milliseconds. We can handle over 10,000 verifications per second, with enterprise plans supporting unlimited throughput.

Security & Compliance

Is my data stored on the blockchain?

No. Only cryptographic hashes and digital signatures are stored on the blockchain. Your original data remains encrypted on our secure servers. This approach ensures privacy while maintaining verification capabilities.

How do you protect my data?

We implement multiple security layers:

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • TLS 1.3 encryption in transit
  • Hardware security modules for key storage
  • Role-based access control
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
Are you GDPR compliant?

Yes. Mentra-Synap is fully GDPR compliant. We support data deletion requests, maintain data processing agreements, and can deploy private instances within specific geographic regions. We also comply with HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and other standards.

What is your uptime SLA?

We guarantee 99.99% uptime for Professional and Enterprise plans. This means maximum 43.2 seconds of downtime per month. Our infrastructure spans multiple geographic regions with automatic failover.

Pricing & Plans

What does each pricing plan include?

Starter ($499/month): Up to 10,000 verifications, single blockchain, email support

Professional ($1,999/month): Up to 100,000 verifications, multi-chain support, priority support

Enterprise (Custom): Unlimited verifications, private blockchain, 24/7 dedicated support

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. All plans include a 30-day free trial with full features. No credit card required to start your trial.

What happens if I exceed my plan limits?

We'll notify you when you approach your plan limits. You can easily upgrade to a higher tier or purchase additional verification credits. We never automatically charge overage fees without your consent.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. Starter and Professional plans can be cancelled anytime without penalty. Enterprise contracts have negotiated terms. You retain access to your data audit trails even after cancellation.
