Hello everyone, I am ZenMuskX, a Web3 explorer and privacy protection advocate. Recently, I had the privilege of participating in the Mind Network experience at Binance Square, which allowed me to delve deeply into the Mind Network project and feel its unique value in the Web3 and AI security fields. Today, we will discuss the benefits brought by its core technology—Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and how to participate in this ecosystem. I hope my experience can inspire your interest in Mind Network, let's explore the potential of this Web3 rising star together!
What is Mind Network?
Mind Network is a project dedicated to providing secure infrastructure for Web3 and AI, with its core technology being Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). In simple terms, FHE is an encryption technology that allows computations to be performed while data remains encrypted, ensuring protection throughout storage, transmission, and processing. This addresses the pain point of traditional encryption methods that require decryption for computation, providing a new guarantee for privacy and security.
Mind Network has also launched the HTTPZ protocol, an upgrade to traditional HTTPS, achieving end-to-end encryption protection, aimed at creating a more secure internet infrastructure. According to Messari's latest report (The Privacy Layer: Understanding the Inner Workings of Decentralized Confidential Computing), FHE is one of the core technologies of decentralized confidential computing (DeCC), and Mind Network, as the first FHE project to launch its mainnet, has become a pioneer in this field.
User experience: A perfect combination of privacy and technology
As a privacy-sensitive user, I immediately tried several core products of Mind Network, and the experience was eye-opening.
FHE Bridge: A new experience in cross-chain privacy
The first product I encountered was FHE Bridge, a cross-chain bridge based on FHE that supports stealth addresses, protecting transfer privacy. Previously, when using other cross-chain bridges, I always worried about transactions being tracked by on-chain tools, but FHE Bridge put me completely at ease. I tried transferring ETH across chains using it, and the whole process was not only fast but also only displayed encrypted data on-chain, preventing third-party spying. This made me realize the true potential of privacy protection in Web3.
MindX: An AI platform for encrypted conversations
Next, I experienced MindX, an AI conversation platform based on FHE. I chatted with AI several times, and all the conversation content was encrypted with FHE, even the process of AI handling data was encrypted. MindX supports the DeepSeek model (Mind Network is the first FHE project officially integrated with DeepSeek), and the conversation data is ultimately stored in a decentralized data lake, ensuring privacy throughout. This combination of 'AI + Privacy' felt both novel and reassuring.
Agentic World: The future world of AI agents
What excites me most is Agentic World, a framework powered by autonomous AI agents. These AI agents can independently complete tasks, collaborate, and even make decisions, while FHE ensures their safety when handling sensitive data. I tried deploying a small AI agent to analyze encrypted market data and provide predictions. Although I am not a developer, the official website's tutorial made it easy for me to get started, and the whole process was full of futurism.
Who benefits? Practical value across multiple scenarios
Mind Network is not just a playground for tech enthusiasts; it has practical value for different groups. Here are my observations:
Blockchain players
If you are into DeFi or NFTs, FHE Bridge is your handy helper. It supports secure cross-chain transfers and can hide transaction details. I tried a USDC cross-chain transfer (Mind Network will soon launch a crypto transmission layer in collaboration with Circle CCTP), and the experience was smooth and secure.
AI developers and enthusiasts
People interested in AI can try training models with encrypted data or interacting with AI in Agentic World or MindX. I ran a small experiment in Agentic World, and the results filled me with anticipation for privacy computing.
Medical and research personnel
The World AI Health Hub of Mind Network allows researchers to share encrypted medical data, protecting privacy while promoting collaboration. I have a research friend who is very interested in this, believing it has "transformative" potential.
Ordinary users
When browsing the internet daily, the HTTPZ protocol makes your browsing and shopping safer. After trying it, I feel it is quite similar to HTTPS, but knowing there is stronger protection makes me feel more secure.

How to participate in Mind Network?
Participating in Mind Network is not complicated; here is my getting started guide:
Obtain $FHE tokens
$FHE is the native token of Mind Network, used to pay fees or activate AI agents. I bought some on Binance, which is very convenient.
Try AI Agent
The official website (https://www.mindnetwork.xyz) has detailed tutorials; I spent half an hour deploying an AI agent. Although I am a beginner, the process was very interesting.
Join the community
I joined Discord (https://discord.com/invite/UYj94MJdGJ) and Telegram (https://t.me/MindNetwork_xyz), where people are very enthusiastic and I can get the latest information.
Explore MindV Hub
MindV Hub is the entrance to the ecosystem; I tried cooperative projects like weRoam and felt like discovering a new continent.
Learn more
Medium (https://mindnetwork.medium.com/) has a lot of valuable content, and I often go there to recharge.
Real use cases:
Activate and operate AI agents through staking
Support for agent training, task execution, and rewards
Pay fees, including for FHE encrypted computing, etc.
Participate in governance through MindDAO and Hub-based proposals
Facilitate seamless value flow between agents, Hubs, and multi-chain networks
AI and ecological cooperation
Key cases:
Deepseek
Swarms
World AI Health
Phala Network
Future potential: The next wave of FHE
The significance of Mind Network lies not only in the present but also in the future. The Messari report predicts that the market potential of FHE is comparable to the last wave of ZK hype, while Mind Network, as a leader in FHE, has a low current market value and tremendous growth potential. It has also collaborated with Chainlink, Circle CCTP, and others to lay out the field of compliance and real-world assets (RWA). For example, the upcoming crypto transmission layer will support native cross-chain transmission of USDC and use FHE encryption, opening up new possibilities for institutional-level privacy transactions.
Vitalik Buterin has recently emphasized the importance of security, and Mind Network's FHE technology is a solution under this trend. I believe it has the potential to become the infrastructure for security in Web3 and AI.
Innovative projects worth exploring
Through this competition, I not only learned about Mind Network but also personally experienced the power of FHE. In today's world where privacy is increasingly important, it provides a safe and trustworthy future for Web3 and AI. Whether you are a tech enthusiast or an ordinary user, I recommend you try Mind Network. The participation process is simple and fun, and its future potential is limitless. Come join us and witness the rise of this project!
