At the WebX Conference 2025 hosted by Neo Vibe Tokyo, Zypher Network made its official debut as a sponsor and unveiled its AI security and decentralized auditing ecosystem for the first time. At the event, Business Lead Kiel stated: “Zypher.Network is the world’s first decentralized AI auditing protocol, designed to build a secure, transparent, and verifiable trust layer for AI interactions.”
Notably, just before the conference, Zypher Network announced the completion of a $7 million funding round, led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with participation from HashKey Capital, Catcher VC, and several other institutions. The funds will primarily be used for the development of its zk protocol stack, the construction of AI-dedicated Rollup infrastructure, and the expansion of community incentives.
Building AI Trust
The widespread application of AI brings both tremendous market opportunities and significant risks. Research shows that:
- The current AI auditing market has reached $1 billion and is expected to grow to $24 billion by 2034.
- 68% of data breaches stem from AI misinterpretation.
- Multi-agent systems face a 25% risk of coordination failure and a 15% risk of prompt injection.
- As much as 30% of unpredictable outputs fall into high-risk scenarios.
Against this backdrop, an AI “trust layer” has become a critical necessity. Just as SSL is essential for the internet, Zypher’s mission is to establish a fundamental layer of security for AI interactions.
As a next-generation decentralized AI auditing protocol, Zypher Network leverages its core “Proof-of-Prompt” security network to ensure the integrity, privacy, and tamper-resistance of AI prompts. Combined with its AI security browser and a community-driven trust layer, Zypher enables users to verify agent behavior, submit security ratings, and earn rewards, thereby enhancing AI transparency. Since its founding in 2023, the Zypher community has grown to 600,000+ members, spanning Decentralized Finance AI (DeFAI), DAOs, intellectual property, and AI-native applications.
Zypher’s Innovative Tech Stack
Zypher offers a comprehensive AI security technology stack, which includes:
- AI Security Browser: Real-time verification, scoring, anomaly detection, and incentive mechanisms.
- Proof-of-Prompt (PoP) Protocol: Powered by zero-knowledge proof technologies (such as Pedersen Commitments and Plonk) to ensure prompt integrity, developer accountability, and privacy protection.
- Zytron AI Chain: A modular blockchain optimized for zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs) and RISC-V concurrency.
- Decentralized Proof Network: A community-driven proof engine that transforms AI security into shared incentives.
Zypher has built a complete AI security technology stack:
• AI Security Dashboard: Monitors AI agent behavior, provides real-time security scores, and provides risk alerts;
• RESTful API Access Layer: Provides developer services such as prompt verification, agent security testing, and inference tracing;
• zkPrompt Protocol Stack: A modular zkP verification framework supporting both public and private chain verification;
• Zytron Chain: Built on BNB Chain, compatible with RISC-V, and designed for high-performance AI workloads;
• Proof Mining Network: A community-driven decentralized proof computing and verification system
As of 2025, Zypher has achieved significant results:
• Protected over 100 zero-knowledge AI agents;
• Developed a community exceeding 600,000, distributed across X and Discord;
• Attracted over 3 million participating wallets and over 3,000 active validating nodes
Products and Incentives: AI Mining, G NFT, and POP NFT
AI Mining mode converts verifiable AI behavior and auditable contributions into mineable assets without expensive hardware and gas costs. Users simply complete interactions, tasks, or community verification to start mining for six hours, regularly checking their scores and claiming rewards.
POP NFT Series:
• Basic POP NFT: All participants can mint it, serving as a proof-of-prompt identity credential;
• Reward NFT: Airdropped to the most contributing users, offering both scarcity and status;
• Partner NFT: Jointly issued with ecosystem partners such as Aster AI, Secondlive, SpaceID, and QuackAI, offering both collectible and equity value.
• This event was not only a success for community participation, but also a test run for Zypher’s upcoming Time to Generate (TGE).
Future Vision
The Zypher Network aims to become the foundation of trust for AI agents, much like SSL is for the internet. Backed by leading investors and partners, Zypher is paving the way towards fully secure AI interactions by 2034.Zypher invites the global community to join its upcoming token generation event and shape the future of trust in an AI-driven world.
