The AI Agent Mining Protocol is a DePin network for distributed proving, powered by multi-faucet incentives. This means that every time a registered AI Agent completes a task, a “certification of safety” is automatically generated by one or more miners in the network and promptly verified on-chain.
By decentralizing the mining process, we cultivate long-term benefits, network effects, and value accrual to our tokens—a critical step for large-scale AI applications. Rather than relying on a single computation provider, security is upheld by distributed nodes worldwide, thereby bolstering system resilience and anti-censorship.
Additionally, by distributing ZK proof tasks among mining nodes around the globe, the network can capitalize on idle or more affordable computing power. At the same time, cryptography and on-chain incentives ensure reliability and accuracy.
PoZK integrates PoS (Proof of Stake) and PoW (Proof of Work) concepts to measure the workload of generating ZK proofs, and then fairly distributes rewards among participants to drive the ecosystem’s utility flywheel. Combined with the Cobb-Douglas incentive model, PoZK accounts for miners’ computing power, token staking, and user participation metrics—providing a balanced approach to efficiency and fairness.
Designing Principals:
Dynamic macro user-miner rewards ratio To keep incentives rational at different stages of ecosystem growth, we employ a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the ratio of rewards between miners and users each epoch. In this model, the share allocated to miners is inversely related to network usage efficiency.
Standardizing ZK Workload The computational cost of generating ZK proofs is converted into a standardized R1CS-based “Work Load,” so tasks are comparable. The number of logic gates in a ZK circuit directly indicates the task’s complexity; higher gate counts mean more time and resources are required. We also introduce a weighting factor Alpha for different ZK solutions.
Cobb-Douglas Incentive Allocation PoZK not only ensures that powerful nodes receive substantial returns but also rewards those who stake heavily or actively use the network, allowing all participants to benefit appropriately. Weighing parameters e.g. a,b,c,d are subject to adjustment via community decision.
Currently, Zypher provides security assurances for more than 100 AI Agents across various industries with an easy user experience. This resembles how TLS upgrades HTTP to HTTPS today. You can explore hundreds of Zypher-secured agents on our Social Mining dashboard. For instance, the “Alpha Girl” agent uses Proof of Prompt to verify BTC price predictions, ensuring its automated portfolio management processes are reliable. Any user can interact with registered AI Agents to earn “social mining” points, boost mining rewards by inviting more users or hold loyalty NFTs. Each AI Agent’s user base shares a dedicated mining pool.
Zypher's decentralized prover network generates scalable ZK proofs, supporting Al and blockchain applications with secure, verifiable computations. lt operates on an incentivized merged mining model to ensure efficiency and decentralization.
Zypher ecosystem is projected to generate 80 million to 100 million ZK proofs of all varieties per calendar month, representing 90% of the total ZK proofs generated within Web3. The games developed within Zypher ecosystem utilize ZK proofs with sizes ranging from 100k to 150M+ logic gates, enabling a rich array of qualified hardware. This ensures the decentralization and security of the proof mining network.
We first introduced “Proof of ZK Work” (PoZK) Consensus Mechanism in our .
A majority of tokens are distributed to protocol users via Proof Mining (50%), to be distributed to gamers and miners on a Epoch-Basis settlement. Smooth operations of ZK games are guaranteed by highly concurrent millisecond-level proof generations. Miners process those outsourced by gamers on a laissez-faire market thereby contributing to the “verifiable” integrity of in-game data thus earn corresponding rewards based on a mixed PoS-PoW consensus mechanism (Proof of ZK). Mining reward distribution is weighted by a Cobb-Douglas production of staked amount and Proof of ZK Work, a standardized workload measurement for proof computation.
