Zypher FAQ
What is Zypher Network?
Zypher Network is a next-gen decentralized AI auditing protocol providing prompt integrity verification and a proof-of-prompt safety network.
With our Security Browser and community-based trust panel, users can validate agent behavior, contribute ratings, and earn rewards.
Which sector does Zypher operate in?
Zypher focuses on AI agents, specifically in AI agent auditing and safety.
Has Zypher launched a token?
Not yet. The token is in pre-TGE stage, with over 1M+ users already participating in campaigns.
How large is the Zypher ecosystem?
100+ AI applications integrated
Zytron (our BNB-based L2) serves 3M+ users
Over 500K community members
What problem is Zypher solving?
AI agent execution today is opaque and unverifiable
No standard framework exists to audit agent behavior
Relying on centralized validation undermines Web3’s trustless principles
What does Zypher offer at its core?
Prompt auditing and ongoing trust assurance for enterprise AI agents
A Security Browser with an agent trust rating panel for end-users
What’s Zypher’s long-term vision?
Build trust infrastructure for the AI era—like SSL for the web
Enable cryptographic trust for agentic autonomy
What are Zypher’s main use cases?
Automated DeFi agents
Payment flows
Legal compliance & document generation
Tokenized RWA
Customer support & robotic workflows
What are Zypher’s core components?
AI Security Browser: real-time verification, scoring, anomaly detection, and incentives
RESTful API: prompt verification and agent scoring
ZK-based protocols (zkPrompt): public/private proofs for prompt integrity
Zytron AI Chain: BNB-based L2, RISC-V + ZKVM compatible, built for high-throughput AI workloads
Decentralized Prover Network: Proof-of-Verifiable-Work rewarding community contributors
What exactly is Proof of Prompt (PoP)?
PoP is a lightweight zkCircuit protocol (inspired by zkTLS) that links a given prompt to its AI output with cryptographic proofs.
It supports multi-turn inference, public/private modes, and is optimized for speed—up to 40% faster than ezkl, generating sub-minute proofs for GPT models.
How does the Proof of Prompt API work?
Developers submit a prompt and its output. The system assigns a prover, generates a zkProof, and returns it via SDKs (Python and JavaScript).
How can developers integrate Zypher?
RESTful API suite
Supports off-chain apps, browser plugins, and rollup-native integration
Enables offline proof generation and on-chain verification
What is Zytron?
Zytron is our AI-focused execution chain built on BNB. It’s RISC-V compatible and designed for LLM inference, model hosting, and zk verification tasks.
What are the key architecture layers?
Proof Layer: Proof of Verifiable Work
Compute Layer: heterogeneous compute for inference and fine-tuning
Data Layer: integrates with DA networks like Celestia and EigenDA
What is Zytron Rollup optimization used for?
Zytron’s rollup is optimized with:
A batch proving engine and agent-level zk verification
Built for high-frequency, large-scale zk workflows
How does the AI Security Browser work?
It works as a plugin or embedded module that shows proof markers, flags tampered or unauthorized outputs, and keeps local logs for on-chain audits.
Example: https://ai-rating.zypher.network/
How Does Proof Mining Work?
Users earn GEM or NFT rewards by validating agent outputs, with security ensured through commit-reveal, zk-proof logs, and community consensus.
What are Zypher’s main product modules?
Proof of Prompt protocol
Security Browser with live trust scoring
Verified agent directory with community ratings
How does Zypher generate revenue?
Enterprises pay for auditing and validation APIs
Users earn rewards by scoring, validating, and detecting anomalies
Which protocols is Zypher integrated with?
Eliza OS, io.Net, Mira Network, Nexus, Risc Zero, EigenLayer, Particle Network, Fermah, Polyhedra, ZeroBase
What partnership models does Zypher offer?
Zypher partners through protocol integrations and co-validation APIs, shared zk tooling and audit infrastructure, and unified API gateways across ecosystems.
What does the Security Browser offer?
It provides ZK-verified trust indicators, detects tampered or unverified outputs, and maintains interaction logs with built-in privacy protection.
How is the community incentivized?
Through Proof Mining, users earn GEM NFTs for validation, building a decentralized trust layer together.
How big is the community?
Over 1M on-chain participants across testing, mining, and validation tasks.
How can I participate in validation?
Validate prompt integrity and response consistency
Score agents based on traceability, security, and verifiability
These ratings directly affect agent trust visibility in the browser
How much funding has Zypher raised?
Zypher has raised $7M, led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with backing from HashKey, Hong Leong, Catcher VC, Cogitent, DWF, and Hydrogenesis Labs.
Why does Zypher matter now?
AI agent adoption is accelerating rapidly
Zypher bridges the rare overlap of ZK cryptography and AI
Protocol is already live and integrated
Positioned to become the default trust infrastructure for AI agents
Backed by a team with deep expertise in Web3, AI, privacy, and hardware
Who are the core team members?
Giv Parvaneh (CEO): ex-AWS, Harmony, Stanford Ventures mentor
Ethan Cai (CPO): ex-Baidu AI, founder of Baidu Digital Human, Ciqtek co-founder
Maggie Wang (COO): CFA, background in TradFi and L1 blockchain
Felix Qu (Chief Scientist): PhD (NUS), author of zkGPT, ex-Microsoft researcher, Dawn Song Group, Duke
