Zypher Network Raises $7 Million to Accelerate Decentralized Trust for Autonomous AI Agents
San Francisco, California - Zypher Network, a decentralized trust infrastructure provider for autonomous AI agents, announced close of a $7 million funding round to accelerate the development of its zero-knowledge (ZK) protocol stack and AI-specific rollup infrastructure. The round was co-led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with participation from HashKey Capital, Hong Leong Group, Cogitent Ventures, Catcher VC, Hydrogenesis Labs, DWF Venture, and other strategic investors.
As large language model (LLM)-based autonomous agents gain momentum through platforms such as Nvidia Eureka and OpenAI Operator, the market for agent-driven ecosystems is projected to reach $250–350 billion by 2035, with transformative potential across the broader $10 trillion “as-a-service” sector. This shift has heightened the urgency for standardized, verifiable mechanisms to ensure trust, reliability, and accountability in AI agent behavior—paralleling the historical rise of SSL as a foundational security layer for the internet.
Zypher Network addresses this need through its open-source, zero-knowledge protocol suite, designed to certify agent integrity, transparency, and data privacy. Its flagship product, Proof of Prompt, is a zkTLS-inspired protocol that enables public verification of system prompts without revealing sensitive inputs or outputs. The solution is delivered via a RESTful API, making it accessible to developers and enterprises integrating agent-based automation across domains such as legal operations, customer support, robotics, and financial services. For end-users, Zypher also offers an AI security browser, enabling real-time detection of potentially malicious agentic behavior.
The API layer is powered by Zytron, Zypher’s dedicated AI rollup infrastructure, whose first production instance operates as a Layer 2 on BNB Chain, compatible with RISC-V architecture. Zytron also supports Proof Mining, a decentralized prover system based on Proof of Verifiable Work, facilitating scalable, distributed ZK proof computation and verification.
We are excited about Zypher’s “proof of prompts” distributed solution and the committed team behind. We foresee Zytron will be an important building block to embed trust in the AI applications out there. – YY, Managing Partner, Signum Capital
The newly raised capital will be allocated toward team expansion, infrastructure scaling, and the launch of incentive-driven initiatives aimed at broadening Zypher’s developer and user ecosystem. To date, Zypher has engaged over one million on-chain participants through its community campaigns and ecosystem programs. Its trust layer is integrated with a wide array of leading protocols—including Eliza OS, io.Net, Nexus, Risc Zero, Eigen Layer, Particle Network, Fermah, Polyhedra, and ZeroBase—enhancing interoperability and improving the developer experience.
In the coming months, Zypher will roll out a large-scale Social & Proof Mining campaign designed to incentivize decentralized agent verification, with early participation from key agent partners across its network. Our trust layer protocol is redefining what’s possible in agent verification. With this funding, we’re accelerating the rollout of scalable ZK infrastructure that ensures trust without sacrificing privacy. We’re proud to be building this with our incredible ecosystem partners, each playing a critical role in shaping a more transparent, verifiable future for AI. – Giv Zypher CEO

IoTeX announces AI Expansion as the open ecosystem for Physical Intelligence
San Francisco, CA – July 3, 2025 — IoTeX, the decentralized network bridging the physical and digital worlds, today announced a significant expansion into artificial intelligence. This vision introduces a unified ecosystem for Physical AI, a new category of intelligence powered by real-world data from machines, devices, and decentralized infrastructure. The physical world is AI’s next frontier As AI systems transition from digital environments into real-world applications, their effectiveness hinges on access to live, trustworthy data from their physical surroundings. While today’s AI models boast impressive capabilities, they operate in abstraction—unable to reliably perceive or react to real-time changes in the world. “IoTeX enables a new class of AI that’s grounded in reality,” said Raullen Chai, Co-Founder and CEO of IoTeX. “Real-world data is the missing link in today’s AI stack. Our expansion unlocks a continuously evolving layer of intelligence, open to anyone who wants to contribute, build, or deploy.” By creating a shared infrastructure where machines and AI agents can coordinate via verified, real-time data, IoTeX transforms decentralized networks into a foundation for truly responsive, real-world AI systems. Building the open ecosystem for physical intelligence Since its founding in 2017, IoTeX has pioneered technologies to bridge physical devices with blockchain networks. These include on-chain machine registration, real-world verification via zero-knowledge proofs, and the advancement of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). The company has long held the belief that machines, not just humans, would become core participants in Web3 ecosystems. This latest AI expansion marks the next evolution of that vision: linking the growing demand from AI developers for real-time, verifiable data with the global supply of connected devices and DePIN participants already living on IoTeX. IoTeX’s AI infrastructure is powered by four key components: IoTeX Layer 1 Blockchain: Secure, fast coordination across physical networks.
ioID Protocol: A decentralized identity layer for authenticating machines and agents.
Quicksilver: A novel AI framework that transforms raw machine signals into structured, real-time data AI can reason over.
IOTX Token: The backbone of economic alignment, used for governance, incentives, and ecosystem utility.
These building blocks converge in a new technical primitive at the center of IoTeX’s AI architecture: Realms. Realms: Living, evolving knowledge bases for real-world intelligence At the core of IoTeX’s AI expansion is the introduction of Realms- the evolving domain-specific knowledge bases of real-time, real world data that continuously synthesize insights from machines, people, and sensors to generate actionable intelligence in sectors like mobility, health, energy, and robotics. Realms serve two primary purposes: Delivering real-time situational awareness for AI agents.
Providing dynamic environments for training the next generation of Physical AI models.
Each Realm enables coordination among data producers, machine networks, and AI developers. As new data flows into a Realm from connected devices and DePIN nodes, its intelligence becomes more precise, adaptive, and valuable. In turn, Realms evolve into living knowledge bases that scale with participation. We’re building dynamic economies of intelligence. These aren’t static datasets. They’re active environments where machines, people, and AI collaborate to generate continuously evolving knowledge. said Jing Sun, Co-Founder of IoTeX. Together, these Realms form a global constellation of verified environments where physical intelligence becomes a scalable and monetizable resource and commodity for real-world AI applications. Collective intelligence in action With the introduction of Realms and Quicksilver, AI agents can now access live, authenticated data on demand, enabling safer decisions, more accurate predictions, and deeper alignment with physical outcomes. This brings AI out of isolation and into interactive, real-time engagement with the world. The expansion represents a pivotal milestone for IoTeX. It unites years of foundational work in trusted machine networks, decentralized identity, and tokenized coordination into a comprehensive platform purpose-built for AI. This is the world’s first open ecosystem for Physical Intelligence, where machines, data, and intelligent systems collaborate in real time to serve human needs. What’s next IoTeX’s Open Ecosystem will enable everyday people to become a stakeholder in the Physical AI revolution. IoTeX will soon release a full vision paper detailing the technical architecture, governance design, and roadmap behind Realms, Quicksilver, and the broader Physical Intelligence Ecosystem. With this launch, IoTeX positions itself at the forefront of real-world AI infrastructure, championing a future where intelligence is no longer abstract, but grounded in the environments it serves.

Intmax Mainnet Launch — A Privacy-Preserving Ethereum Payment Layer with Near-Zero Fees, Even at Peak Demand
Zug, Switzerland – June 26, 2025 - Ryodan Systems AG today officially announces the mainnet launch of Intmax, an Ethereum layer that redefines Layer 2. With an entirely new architecture and a radical stateless design that minimizes on-chain data, Intmax enables ultra-low-cost and privacy-preserving payments on Ethereum even under heavy network congestion. The Highly Anticipated Ethereum Layer 2 Solution The breakthrough behind Intmax lies in the Plasma architecture, a concept first spotlighted in 2017. While Plasma was ultimately deemed infeasible, Intmax has now overcome its technical limitations and is the first protocol to realize Plasma’s vision in practicality. Intmax stands as proof that Plasma's lightweight, secure, and decentralized design is the most sustainable and universal approach. While most Layer 2s pursue scalability through compression and off-chain execution, Intmax adopts a fundamentally different approach, requiring just ~5 bytes of on-chain data per transaction, while remaining fully secured by Ethereum. Privacy Mining: A New Model for a Private Future. Intmax introduces INTMAX Privacy Mining, a novel incentive mechanism rewarding users for contributing to network privacy. This creates a synergy of anonymity and incentives, supporting a healthy, decentralized ecosystem and upholding both universal accessibility and the fundamental right to privacy.
The ITX Token: Private by Default, Compatible with DeFi The ITX token exists in two forms: Layer 2: As a fast, private, native asset used for real-world payments.Layer 1: As a standard ERC-20 token compatible with DeFi platforms and exchanges. This dual nature gives ITX unique power — allowing Ethereum-based capital to access privacy and performance without leaving the broader ecosystem. Endorsed by Ethereum Core Researchers The innovative architecture of Intmax has received strong support from Ethereum core community: So, in some sense, Intmax is even more efficient than ZKRollup... One of the really cool things is that the chain is actually not verifying SNARKs until the very end when you withdraw. — Justin Drake Another class of constructions is hybrid plasma/rollups, such as Intmax. These constructions put a very small amount of data per user on-chain (e.g. 5 bytes), and by doing so, get properties that are somewhere between plasma and rollups. — Vitalik Buterin The global cryptocurrency payment market is experiencing rapid expansion, with projections indicating a growth of USD 4.82 billion by 2030. However, this growth also increases the exposure of sensitive financial data, thereby compromising user financial privacy. INTMAX addresses this by providing an ideal platform for high-volume Ethereum payments, including remittances, payroll, and cross-border settlements. Intmax also preserves user privacy by design. Sensitive data such as transaction history or account balances never appear on-chain, enabling a truly secure and private digital cash experience for everyday use. Comments from the Founders Leona Hioki, Co-Founder After a long technical struggle, I’m truly delighted to finally bring this to the world. It’s been quite some time since I first joined the Plasma research effort. This journey to scale Ethereum presented many possible answers, and along the way, we had the freedom to choose among them. But our relentless desire—for both privacy and near O(1) scaling—pushed us to ignore those options and instead create this new address space: Intmax. I hope you’ll also make good use of this mysterious realm where every transaction is incredibly lightweight—and everything is private. Mai Fujimoto, Co-Founder I'm truly grateful to have reached the mainnet launch. I believe blockchain should be freely usable by all, not just the wealthy due to congestion and high gas fees. This led to INTMAX's creation. Everyone deserves the fundamental property right to protect and move their assets freely, and privacy is crucial for self-protection. I hope INTMAX will become the foundation that delivers choice and dignity to more people around the world. About Intmax Intmax is a stateless Layer 2 protocol for Ethereum, developed by Ryodan Systems AG. It accelerates blockchain mass adoption through constant minimal gas fees, instant transaction finality, and user-centric privacy.

Aster, the next-generation decentralized perpetual exchange (perp DEX) backed by YZi Labs, proudly unveils its latest upgrade on Aster Pro: Hidden Orders. Hidden orders empower traders with powerful stealth execution when trading perpetuals. With this launch, Aster – ranked second globally by perp DEX trading volume – becomes the first perp DEX to introduce fully integrated hidden orders, once again pushing the frontier of DeFi innovation. On Aster, traders who select hidden orders place limit orders without revealing any size, price, or presence on the public Aster Pro order book. Trades are placed directly into the main matching engine and only become visible after execution. “In high-speed, high-stakes perp trading, being seen is often a disadvantage,” shared Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Hidden orders empower traders with full anonymity without compromising liquidity, privacy and fairness.” Why decentralized perp trading needs hidden orders In cryptocurrency trading, the ability to place large trades without spooking the market is a privilege that separates professionals from amateurs. Institutions and sophisticated traders often rely on advanced order execution strategies like dark pools and hidden orders to hide their intentions and reduce slippage. Recent debates among industry leaders have also spotlighted a key tension in current DEX infrastructure: while transparency enables trust, it also exposes large traders to predatory tactics due to real-time order visibility. This underscores a rising demand for privacy-preserving solutions in the perpetual DEX space, ones that can shield traders from front-running and exploitation while still upholding market integrity. High-volume traders on centralized exchanges already rely on tools like dark pools or iceberg orders to mask intent. However, each has its drawbacks. Dark pools keep trades completely invisible and with no impact to main markets because trades execute via a separate order book. That said, because of the separate infrastructure, dark pools fragment liquidity and can be less liquid than the main order book. Iceberg orders are anonymous and access deep market liquidity, but will partially reveal intent as a portion of the total order is exposed on the public order book at any one time. Hidden orders solve these challenges: Full Privacy: Orders remain invisible until filled, defending price points without signaling intent.Stealth Execution: Slippage is reduced and front-running is avoided in volatile markets.Integrated Liquidity: Hidden orders operate directly inside the main matching engine, preserving centralized liquidity and tight spreads.Superior Speed: Often faster to execute than iceberg orders, with no visible trail.
Built for anonymity, visible advantage The launch of Hidden Orders on Aster Pro marks a major milestone for the industry: Aster is now the first perpetual DEX to natively support hidden orders—a feature previously exclusive to centralized platforms or fragmented DeFi workarounds. This upgrade is more than a product release. It’s a clear statement of intent: Aster leads by building—pioneering tools that empower traders with greater control, precision, and privacy in onchain markets. With Hidden Orders, traders can now: Defend key price levels without tipping off competitorsEnter or exit large positions without front-running risksExecute with full anonymity while still benefiting from Aster’s deep, unified liquidity In a market where visibility often works against you, Aster gives traders the power to operate on their own terms. Redefining the standard for onchain perpetual trading This launch reinforces Aster’s position as an industry leader—not just in volume, but in innovation, execution quality, and trader-first design. From the successful introduction of email login for frictionless onboarding, to the debut of Aster Chain Beta, a privacy-preserving ZK Layer 1 built for high-performance perp trading, Aster is consistently raising the bar for what’s possible in DeFi. And while others focus on replicating centralized tools, Aster focuses on protecting its users—by prioritizing: Privacy, with ZK-powered infrastructureFairness, with MEV-resistant executionControl, with pro-grade tools like Hidden Orders and integrated liquidity Aster redefines onchain trading, making it fast, fair, private, and powerful. Experience Hidden Orders now on Aster Pro.

Within just two weeks of launch, BingX users have already invested over $1 million in this product — a clear reflection of its early popularity and market demand. Built for both beginners and seasoned investors, Dual Investment embodies BingX's mission to deliver accessible, innovative financial tools that simplify complex trading strategies and help users grow their portfolios with greater confidence and control. Dual Investment is an innovative structured financial product that leverages the derivatives market, offering higher returns with relatively low risk. Denominated in USDT, this product compares the prices of two cryptocurrencies and is structured around investment currency, settlement currency, APR, subscription amount, target price, and settlement time. The APR is floating, and upon settlement, the system determines the final interest and settlement currency based on whether the settlement price meets or crosses the target price.

In both cases, users earn interest that is comparable to the premiums typically associated with options trading. BingX users can select durations of less than 7 days, 7–30 days, or more than 30 days, depending on specific financial goals and investment strategies — providing maximum flexibility. Each duration comes with varying APYs. Designed for both long-term holders and strategic traders, Dual Investment helps users manage market volatility, grow their portfolios without active trading, and explore hedging or arbitrage opportunities more easily.

Matrixport Launches Industry-First "Daily Dual Currency" Product, Establishing a New Paradigm in Crypto Wealth Management
Singapore – [June 19, 2025] – Matrixport, a leading all-in-one crypto financial services platform, today announced its launch of the industry's first structured financial product—Daily Dual Currency (“Daily Dual-Ccy”). This product enhances the traditional dual-currency investment model by incorporating a "daily observation" mechanism, effectively responding to the market's need for flexible yield optimization solutions. The Daily Dual-Ccy incorporates a daily observation mechanism to enhance yield-locking opportunities by tracking the daily price of the underlying assets. It caters to two core investor segments: those optimistic about long-term crypto asset holdings willing to accumulate during short-term corrections, and those expecting market downturns who wish to convert their assets to USDT for stable cash flow. The Daily Dual Currency product includes "Bullish Daily Dual-Currency (USDT)" and "Bearish Daily Dual-Currency (BTC/ETH)": the former allows investors to acquire the underlying assets (BTC/ETH) and additional yields when prices drop to a specified level after investing in USDT (early settlement if a knock-in event occurs); the latter enables investors to convert BTC/ETH into USDT along with additional yields when prices hit a predetermined high. In addition to daily monitoring of the asset prices and multiple locking opportunities, the Dual-Ccy typically offers more competitive annualized returns than standard deposit or Fixed Income.
Matrixport CEO John Ge stated: Matrixport is committed to providing users with efficient and user-friendly crypto investment products, helping them seize more profit opportunities in the volatile crypto market. The launch of the Daily Dual-Ccy product further enriches our platform's financial product offerings. By transforming market fluctuations into quantifiable investment opportunities through the daily observation mechanism, it serves as a professional vehicle for strategic implementation for institutional investors, while also creating a low-barrier entry point for retail investors into structured investments. As a leading global cryptocurrency financial services platform, Matrixport is dedicated to offering secure, convenient, and comprehensive asset management solutions. The launch of the Daily Dual-Ccy not only diversifies Matrixport’s investment categories and meets varying user demands but also provides the industry with an innovative paradigm for structured investment, promoting a more inclusive ecosystem in crypto wealth management.

Chirp Partners with Staex to Deploy IoT Connectivity Across 200,000 Municipal Buses
Berlin, Germany – June 2025 — In a major step forward for Web3 adoption, Chirp, a leader in decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), has partnered with Staex, a secure data orchestration platform, to deploy IoT sensors across up to 200,000 municipal buses, with the capacity to scale up to 12 IoT devices per vehicle. This national-scale initiative reflects one of the largest decentralized infrastructure efforts globally, designed for real-world utility and scalable across industries—from mobility and logistics to smart cities. Each bus will act as a mobile data node, capturing a range of real-time information such as air quality, temperature, humidity, and movement patterns. By emphasizing multi-sensor support, the Chirp network showcases not just its scale, but also the robustness and flexibility needed for high-density urban deployments. This deployment will be rolled out during the Berlin Blockchain Week at the Mobility DePIN Launch, positioning Chirp as a leader in transforming blockchain from theory to live infrastructure powering everyday systems.
From Hype to Hardware While many blockchain projects remain conceptual, Chirp is already operational. Its decentralised network spans over 50 countries, with 476+ Blackbird Miners and over 1.2 million IoT devices actively transmitting data. This global infrastructure forms the backbone of Chirp’s platform, which unites incompatible iot technologies simplifying deployments for end users. By partnering with Staex, Chirp’s infrastructure will now serve national transit systems, collecting real-time environmental data such as CO₂ levels, temperature, humidity, and also provides valuable data on public transport usage. These are just some of the initial usecases and the offerings will increase as the ecosystem grows.
Enterprise Adoption and Revenue in Motion In contrast to many early-stage projects that are still looking for their first customers. Chirp’s service is already being employed by clients such as Netzbest, and European drone corridor for smart cities and other large-scale deployments. Chirp is among the select few DePIN platforms that have real-world traction with commercial potential. It is also a strong foundation for the future development of smart cities, logistics and industrial IoT.
A Token Model Driven by Real Demand The $CHIRP token powers the ecosystem, but unlike inflationary models seen in other projects, Chirp’s tokenomics are utility-based. Businesses pay in fiat or crypto to use Chirp’s services. These payments trigger automatic token buybacks through the Data Credits system, reinforcing value through demand rather than emissions. This model ensures that token activity reflects real-world infrastructure usage, aligning long-term token value with actual service delivery.
Chirp’s Full-Stack IoT Platform Chirp's IoT dashboard is designed with enterprise automation and monitoring in mind. It works with LoRa Cellular, BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and other radios, which is quite useful. The software will also be whitelabelled, enabling businesses to launch it under their brand. Chirp can easily be scaled up or down due to its radio-agnostic and blockchain-enabled nature.
Gamified Data Contribution Through Kage To decentralize data collection even further, Chirp’s Kage app rewards users for scanning wireless signals. By doing these scans, you will help create a decentralized geolocation database that powers navigation, logistics and location analytics applications. The experience is gamified through Wings of Chronos, an augmented reality feature that turns the scanning process into a treasure hunt with real rewards, encouraging grassroots participation and viral engagement.
A Pivotal Showcase in Berlin The partnership and live deployment will be presented during Berlin Blockchain Week at the Mobility DePIN Launch, a showcase focused on tangible infrastructure achievements. As the spotlight shifts from theoretical potential to working systems, Chirp’s presentation will highlight how DePIN can meet national-level requirements today.
“This is not just another whitepaper announcement,” said a Chirp spokesperson. “We’re scaling real infrastructure. We’re showing the world that decentralized systems can power cities.”
About Chirp Chirp is a decentralized infrastructure network designed to connect real-world IoT devices using blockchain. With live deployments across more than 50 countries and nearly one million connected devices, Chirp delivers enterprise IoT solutions at scale. Its token, $CHIRP, is driven by actual utility, not speculation, making it a pioneering force in the future of Web3 infrastructure.
Building global Web3 ecosystems: From Dubai to the world — Interview with CoinW
