Recently, the decentralized AI trust platform Zypher Network announced the completion of a total of $7 million in financing. This round of financing was co-led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with participation from well-known institutions including Hashkey Capital, Hong Leong Group, Cogitent Ventures, Catcher VC, Hydrogenesis Labs, DWF Venture, etc., demonstrating the capital market's high recognition of Zypher's narrative direction and long-term technological potential.
In fact, as one of the few projects deeply engaged in AI trust verticals within the Web3 market, the track that Zypher Network is in is still in its early stages and has a relatively high technical threshold based on cryptography. At the same time, the overall market potential is large, and the positioning space is scarce, which is also an important reason why it has gained favor and resource tilt from many top institutions.
With the new stage of Zypher Network's ecosystem development, a series of early ecosystem activities for user participation will be launched in succession, which will be detailed in this article.
What is Zypher Network?
Zypher is a new generation decentralized AI security protocol dedicated to providing verifiable trust guarantees for autonomous AI Agents. Through prompt security audits and a verification network, Zypher provides a secure browser and Agent trust rating panel, allowing users to participate in verification and scoring, collaboratively building a trustworthy AI security ecosystem and receiving incentive rewards. Zypher ensures that AI Agents operate in a transparent, secure, and verifiable environment by integrating zero-knowledge (ZK) protocols and advanced security mechanisms. With encryption technologies like zkTLS, Zypher has built a zk computing layer, ensuring data consistency and privacy, and promoting secure deployments across multiple application areas including cryptocurrency, automated processes, payment systems, and real-world assets (RWA).
In simple terms, Zypher acts like the TLS protocol in the internet, providing a trusted operating environment for AI Agents through zero-knowledge protocols like zkProof of Prompt (zkPoP), ensuring their behavior is safe and reliable. At the same time, Zypher also acts as an AI security browser and antivirus software, monitoring AI Agent behavior in real-time, assessing risks, and issuing security alerts. AI Agents that have not been verified by Zypher zkProof of Prompt (zkPoP) will be flagged as risky, helping users identify potential security hazards. In the future, users can earn rewards by providing real-user evaluations and scores for AI Agents on the AI security browser's trust rating panel in Zypher.
Zypher consists of multiple key components:
AI Security Panel: A tool that allows users to verify prompts and responses in real-time, including a security rating system to assess the transparency of AI Agent behavior.
RESTful API interface layer: A service suite provided for developers, allowing them to integrate prompt verification, Agent security checks, and reasoning tracking into their applications.
ZK Protocol Stack (zkPrompt series): This modular protocol stack uses zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure the integrity and consistency of AI Agent prompts and responses, while supporting verification in both public chain and private modes.
Zytron (AI Chain): Zytron is built on the BNB Chain, compatible with RISC-V and various ZK virtual machines, designed for high-throughput AI workloads, ensuring system scalability and speed.
POP Basic NFT
POP Basic NFT is an entry-level entitlement certificate open to all community users, using the iconic 'tongue' pattern as its basic image, continuing the consistent pop style visual language of POP. Users can go to the POP official website to mint independently, with each wallet able to mint 3 NFTs.
This series of NFTs is divided into three levels of rarity: low-level (accounting for 70%), mid-level (accounting for 25%), and high-level (accounting for 5%). All holders can obtain basic qualifications to participate in the galaxy prize pool and future POP airdrops. This NFT supports issuance on the BSC and Zytron BNB networks, with complete on-chain liquidity, allowing free transfer or trading.
It is worth mentioning that users holding G NFTs will receive an additional three mint opportunities.

Zypher Network's series of activities launched on the BNB Chain
Zypher Network plans to initially expand to the BNB Chain and launch a new chain, and will introduce a large number of user reward activities around the new chain launch and initial user interactions, including airdrops, SBT collections, level lotteries, Galxe tasks, etc. Currently, the activity types are mainly two parts:
1. Zypher G NFT Airdrop Activity
To celebrate the launch of the Zypher Network AI mining protocol, the network has specially launched the GEM NFT airdrop activity, open to all new users and long-term supporters. Rewards will include exclusive SBT, GEM-GNFT shards, and GEM loyalty points.
The formal AI Mining activity will be aimed at new users and OG users, among which:
New users can obtain SBT and NFT shard airdrops by visiting the airdrop page and completing designated tasks, and synthesize G NFT through NFT shards.
OG users only need to connect their wallets to automatically receive G NFT.
OG users include not only those who have previously participated in other Zypher ecosystem activities, such as those who participated in zk game activities on Linea and Base chains, but Zypher also lists active users of deep partner organizations as OG users.
Detailed introduction and tutorial about this activity can be found at: https://www.chaincatcher.com/article/2189246
2. Galaxy Points Activity
Zypher Network will further launch galaxy points activities for new chains, where completing tasks can earn points that may be exchanged for tokens and other airdrop rewards in the future. Galaxy activity address: https://app.galxe.com/quest/ZypherNetwork/GC5qptpemT
SBT Points Competition
AI Mining 1.0
In the formal mining phase 'AI Mining 1.0', GNFT users participating in mining will unlock richer NFT, points, and airdrop opportunities:
Users can go to the mining website to participate in mining. Mining link: https://ai.zypher.network/
AI Mining participation tutorial: https://wiki.zypher.network/bnb-chain-ai-agent-mining-campaign-guide
Users can click to participate in mining and generate mining proof.
During the mining process, as mining proofs are uploaded, there may be random drops of NFT shards. The shards can be combined into NFTs according to rules, and the current NFT acquisition status can be viewed on the NFT page.
Additionally, the AI MINING phase will also launch a series of galaxy social activities, where users can complete corresponding social tasks to earn points.
AI Mining 2.0
After the aforementioned 1.0 activity phase, Zypher Network mining will enter phase 2.0, at which point GNFT users will be generating mining proofs, switching to AI conversations, where users participate in dialogues and display the generated mining proofs. After the proof is completed and uploaded, users can score the AI models on the AI evaluation website, and after uploading scores and generating evaluation proofs, they will receive rewards again.
Zypher's newly launched AI evaluation platform aims to create a decentralized AI capability scoring system driven by 'multi-model aggregation + community co-evaluation'. The platform gathers mainstream AI models from different institutions and developers, covering multiple technical dimensions such as language generation, image recognition, and multimodal understanding. All models are openly displayed and accept multidimensional scoring and feedback from community users, domain experts, and developers themselves.
About GEMs NFT Assets
In Zypher's incentive system, GEMs NFT is one of the important components. It serves as a form of reward, motivating users to participate in a gamified manner. Each GEMs NFT represents the user's level of participation and contribution in the protocol, and users holding GEMs NFTs can enjoy exclusive benefits such as future airdrops, including random airdrops, future collaboration project airdrops, exclusive mining pools, etc.
At the same time, from a classification perspective, GEMs NFTs are divided into three categories: G NFT (for general users), E NFT (for professional miners), and M NFT (for professional developers).
G NFT is the ticket to the event, which can enhance mining efficiency and airdrop rewards. In the first phase, we collaborated with deep partners to give their active users free airdrops of G NFT. If you are an active user of DIN, Secondlive, SpaceID, UxLink, QuackAI, Pundi.AI, XPIN Network, zkpass, DeAgentAI, Aster AI, BAS, Alaya AI, Ultiverse, or have previously participated in Zypher's activities or played related games, you may have the opportunity to obtain G NFT for free. Of course, you can also complete new user tasks and collect shards to synthesize G NFT. Synthesis rules:
Common G-NFT: 5 Blue Common + 2 Orange Rare shards.
Special G-NFT: 3 Orange Rare + 1 Green Epic shards. (Shards are permanently destroyed during synthesis)
