CoinVoice has recently learned that Mind Network has announced the launch of its crypto A2A (Agent-to-Agent) payment solution x402z. This solution is a deep collaboration between FHE technology leader Mind Network and Zama, aimed at addressing the fundamental conflict between blockchain transparency and the strategic privacy needs of autonomous AI agents. Mind Network CEO Christian Pusateri stated: "x402z is the key payment layer of HTTPZ (Zero Trust Internet Protocol), providing the necessary privacy protection for the Agent economy."
x402z integrates Zama's production-grade fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology stack with the ERC-7984 crypto token standard, achieving "Blind Verification" of economic activities. Verifiers can confirm the compliance of transactions without touching specific amounts, balances, or transaction intentions. Zama CEO Rand Hindi stated: "For AI to gain freedom, its computations must remain private. FHE grants them the right to think and trade in secret. x402z is the first step towards a privately autonomous economy."
In response to the current issue of "over-transparency" in blockchain leading to AI agents leaking strategies, cost structures, and IP, x402z provides essential privacy protection for the Agent economy, preventing agents from losing advantages in competitive environments due to data leaks. Additionally, through the x402 protocol, AI agents can autonomously generate encrypted payment instructions and complete zero-trust settlements within Mind Network's FHE verification network. It is reported that Mind Network has currently secured investments from well-known institutions such as Yzi Labs, HashKey, and Chainlink, and has simultaneously initiated the x402z A2A payment alliance, aiming to collaborate with leaders in AI and privacy fields to build the privacy financial standards of the Agent economy era.
