GAL-2 Time Contract for resilient digital infrastructure. Governed time before application state. gal-2.com

Application-facing temporal governance, holdover, rejoin, fail-closed behavior and IXOYE Witness Layer. GAL-2™ Technologies — Global Alignment Layer | Fractal Time. Eliminating drift & leap seconds for finance, IoT & telecom. Founded by Francisco Edgardo Torres Alvarado, visionary entrepreneur bringing the future of time.

GNSS can provide timing.
NTP can distribute it.
PTP can synchronize it.
UTC defines the reference timescale.

But there’s still another question:

Once time reaches the application, who decides whether it is safe to consume?

That’s the layer I’m exploring with GAL-2.

What happens when temporal trust becomes an authorization decision?

We tested GAL-2 Node RC11 in front of MIT Kerberos.

Kerberos did not need GAL-2 to replace its system clock or rewrite its internal time handling.

Instead, GAL-2 acted as an application-facing policy boundary before protected Kerberos operations.

When the GAL-2 Provider permitted consumption, the Kerberos flow proceeded.

When the Provider denied it, the protected flow did not start.

Results

• 500 paired AS-REQ measurements
• 500 paired TGS-REQ measurements
• 0 failed measurements
• 660 attempts during fail-closed testing
• 491 permits
• 169 denies
• 491 successful permitted Kerberos flows
• 0 Kerberos flows initiated after a GAL-2 deny

That distinction matters.

GAL-2 is not another clock.

It adds an explicit policy boundary between timing infrastructure and the application that ultimately decides whether time is safe to consume and act upon.

Keep your timing stack. Install the Node. Connect the application once.

Linux Infrastructure

Time safety should not depend on the operating system.

GAL-2 Node RC11 brings the same application-facing time consumption governance model across macOS Apple Silicon, Linux ARM64 and Linux x86_64.

GAL-2 does not replace NTP, PTP, GNSS or the existing timing stack.

Instead, it adds an explicit policy boundary at the point where an application consumes time.

Through the GAL-2 Time Contract, the application can evaluate state such as safe_to_consume, operating mode, uncertainty, reason and source lineage before deciding whether time is acceptable under policy.

When that policy is no longer satisfied, consumption can be refused rather than silently continuing with unqualified time.

Keep your timing stack. Protect the consumer.

Don’t trust GAL-2 Node. Test it. Break it.

The GAL-2 Node RC11 Linux AMD64 evaluator is now available for independent testing.

We want engineers to test the failure cases:

Disconnect the upstream. Let holdover age. Cross the policy boundary. Disturb the host clock. Restart the system. Restore connectivity.

Then ask one question:

Does the application still know whether time is safe to consume?

GAL-2 Node does not replace NTP or PTP. It adds an application-facing temporal governance boundary through the Time Contract.

RC11 has already completed founder-operated, real-duration 72-hour upstream-outage endurance runs on macOS Apple Silicon and Linux ARM64.

Now we want independent operators to test it themselves.

Evaluator release:
https://github.com/gal-2-technologies/gal2-node-rc11-amd64-evaluator/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc11-amd64-evaluator

An evaluator API key is required. Temporary evaluator keys are available on request. DM us to get one.

If you run it, send us the failures too.

Keep your timing stack. Govern when your application should trust time.

72 hours. Two platforms. Both PASS.

GAL-2 Node RC11 completed real-duration upstream-outage endurance runs on macOS Apple Silicon and Linux ARM64.

LIVE → HOLDOVER → DEGRADED → FAIL_CLOSED → REJOIN → LIVE

No backward steps observed.

Next step: independent reproduction.

The timing stack has a missing layer.

NTP, PTP, GNSS, atomic clocks and timing appliances are built to deliver time.

GAL-2 adds something different: application-facing time governance.

It governs whether an enrolled application should consume time before that time becomes trusted state.

We recently exercised GAL-2 under Telstra-class failure conditions involving upstream loss and recovery.

Today, the public RC11 macOS artifact is running a real-duration 72-hour continuous upstream outage test.

Your timing stack delivers time.
GAL-2 governs its consumption.

A new infrastructure category is emerging at the application boundary.

Most systems try to make the clock better.

GAL-2 asks a different question:

Should the application trust time right now?

If the timing stack degrades, should the app keep going or know when to refuse?

GAL-2 Node RC10 is now open for technical evaluation on Linux ARM64.

GAL-2 API creates GAL-2 Time.
GAL-2 Node makes it locally consumable.
The Time Contract governs its use.

What should an application do when time can no longer be safely consumed?

RC10 demonstrates bounded HOLDOVER, controlled recovery and REJOIN, FAIL_CLOSED behavior, and no silent fallback to raw host time.

Keep your timing stack.
Install the GAL-2 Node.
Connect the application once.

Technical evaluation and early pilot access are now open.

Something new is coming to the timing stack.

For years, applications have been expected to consume whatever time the system gives them. GAL-2 takes a different approach.

The GAL-2 API creates GAL-2 Time.
The GAL-2 Node makes it locally consumable.
The Time Contract governs its use.

The Node sits alongside your existing timing infrastructure. It does not replace NTP, PTP, or GNSS, and it does not discipline the host clock.

Keep your timing stack.
Install the GAL-2 Node.
Connect the application once.

Internal validation and endurance testing for the GAL-2 Node v1.0 release candidate are complete, including bounded holdover, controlled rejoin, fail-closed behavior, and application-level consumption without silent fallback to raw host time.

Technical evaluation access opens in September 2026 at gal-2.com.

GAL-2 is not another clock.

It’s a new application-level layer for deciding when time is safe to consume.

More soon.

On July 6, we presented GAL-2’s application-boundary time governance model to the Open Compute Project.

Two days later, a national telecom outage showed what happens when a system accepts an invalid date as operational truth.
A server believed it was 2006.
Downstream systems believed it too.

That is the gap GAL-2 Node is being built to address.

The problem is not only when time fails.

It is when the system believes it.
