SingularityNET, a decentralized AI platform, has teamed up with the Mina Foundation, the organization behind the privacy-centric Mina Protocol, to advance the development of decentralized artificial general intelligence (AGI) while prioritizing privacy through zero-knowledge (ZK) technology.
The collaboration aims to create secure and privacy-preserving AGI applications by leveraging both platforms’ strengths. The focus is on enhancing decision-making AI agents and improving the Internet of Knowledge, a decentralized ecosystem for secure AI knowledge sharing. By combining SingularityNET’s infrastructure with Mina’s ZK-SNARK technology, which enables trustless cryptographic proofs, the partnership looks to address privacy concerns while scaling AI innovations.
The use of ZK-proofs ensures that sensitive data, such as personal information and financial details, can be verified without being exposed. This integration will allow AI agents to function securely, with a focus on preserving user confidentiality, while also laying the groundwork for AGI-powered tools that maintain data integrity.
For developers, the partnership promises to create new decentralized applications, including decision-making AI agents and personalized governance systems. These tools are expected to enhance decentralized decision-making processes and enable more inclusive collaboration between AI agents and identity providers within a secure framework.
SingularityNET’s CEO, Ben Goertzel, has emphasized the potential of decentralized AI to radically improve human life, suggesting that AGI could help abolish material scarcity. However, he also highlighted the importance of decentralizing AI development to ensure that it serves humanity’s best interests.
MetaMask is making a major leap beyond Ethereum by adding support for Solana, marking its first deep integration with a non-EVM blockchain.
El Salvador has secured a $120 million disbursement from the IMF as part of its $1.4 billion loan agreement, but only after agreeing to reduce direct government involvement in Bitcoin operations.
A significant portion of Ethereum validators are backing a proposal to nearly double the network’s block gas limit—an adjustment that could boost Layer 1 throughput without requiring a protocol upgrade.
A breakthrough from Google’s quantum division is reshaping assumptions about the future of cybersecurity—and may bring the cryptographic foundations of Bitcoin closer to vulnerability than previously believed.
