Autonomys is pleased to announce a partnership with ZkAGI, constructed around our shared goal of allowing participants in the AI value chain to securely earn from their contributions. Our integration presents an opportunity to both consolidate the decentralized AI ecosystem and extend the capabilities of our infrastructures.

ZkAGI is exploring the use of Autonomys’ distributed storage solutions, and how their GPU marketplace and ZkSurfer agent could be deployed on our domain layer when they initiate their plans for multi-chain expansion in the near future.

Key Aspects of the Partnership

  • Distributed Private Storage: ZkAGI utilizes zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and confidential container technology to ensure data privacy. Autonomys is capable of providing the distributed storage solutions to meet ZkAGI’s storage needs.
  • Decentralized GPU Compute: ZkAGI offers access to its GPU compute market layer for privacy-preserving AI model training/inference and efficient processing of large datasets via its Zynapse API. Both teams are exploring how this could be integrated with Autonomys’ decentralized compute infrastructure to enhance our respective ecosystems.
  • Agents: Modifying open-source AI models to work with their privacy-preserving technology, ZkAGI is building agents that can act on-chain, including ZkSurfer, a smart digital assistant which can help automate cross-chain trading, staking, blockchain node setup, and code generation. Autonomys and ZkAGI are examining the potential of developing a content creation engine for web3 projects together.

“Autonomys’s solutions for permanent storage, and facilities for creating on-chain agents are a natural fit to integrate with ZkAGI’s infrastructure. The biggest beneficiaries of this partnership and deep integration of technologies will be developers and users of agents.” Suraj Venkat, CEO & Founder at ZkAGI

“Pairing ZkAGI’s privacy-preserving technologies with the unparalleled decentralization of the Autonomys Network will offer AI developers unprecedented scalability, security and safety, while committing all participants to the shared principle of fairness.” Labhesh Patel, CEO & Co-founder at Autonomys

About ZkAGI

ZkAGI is a privacy-first AI DePIN that leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to enable trustless AI model training, inference and complex computation to be performed off-chain, with the results verified on-chain. ZkAGI aims to create a decentralized AI system that enhances the privacy, security, and scalability of artificial general intelligence (AGI) on the blockchain.
