zCloak Trust Layer - AI Native Trust Infrastructure for the Digital World
1. Core Dilemma: Trust is becoming scarce Today, AI has fundamentally changed the traditional content economy paradigm. In traditional scenarios, text, images, audio, video, software code, and even legal documents can now be generated instantly and on a large scale by AI. Content creation and dissemination are no longer constrained by the scarce costs, time, or manpower in traditional scenarios. But it is still constrained by trust. With the large-scale adoption of generative AI, individuals, organizations, and even the AI agents themselves face the following crisis: Source of content: Who created or generated this content?
DFINITY joins the MiCA Crypto Alliance to advance open, decentralized blockchain infrastructure.
The MiCA Crypto Alliance is honored to welcome the DFINITY Foundation as part of the collaboration. The alliance has drafted a white paper compliant with MiCA regulations for the native token of the Internet Computer blockchain, ICP.
This work reflects the DFINITY Foundation's ongoing commitment to clear and transparent disclosure of information in accordance with the EU's Market in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations.
About DFINITY and ICP
DFINITY is a Swiss non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting the development and application of the Internet Computer. It conducts research in cryptography, distributed systems, and protocol engineering, and supports a global developer community building on this network.
Although DFINITY is the primary contributor to the protocol, it is just one of many decentralized participants in the ecosystem, with its proposals needing approval through the Internet Computer's on-chain governance system - the Network Nervous System (NNS).
The Internet Computer is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain that hosts smart contracts known as "Canisters," which can directly provide interactive web applications from the chain. It offers on-chain computation, storage, and web services, thereby reducing reliance on traditional cloud infrastructure.
The protocol employs chain-key encryption and subnet blockchain technology to achieve efficient validation and horizontal scalability across independently operated node providers. Governance tasks are managed by the NNS, which is responsible for coordinating upgrades and network configuration.
Why This Matters
DFINITY's inclusion strengthens the alliance's efforts to establish shared MiCA compliance standards across first-layer networks and the broader crypto asset market. As the foundational protocol continues to evolve into a critical digital infrastructure, clear, consistent, and verifiable information disclosure becomes increasingly important.
By collaboratively providing consistent sustainability data, transparent technical documentation, and MiCA-compliant white papers, the alliance helps ensure that networks like the Internet Computer can efficiently and credibly meet regulatory requirements.
Looking Ahead
A new white paper for ICP will be released soon as a public resource supporting the implementation of MiCA, with more details to be announced in due course.
- Gen-IP turns every image and meme into a "micro IP asset"; - Protects original copyrights and supports secondary creations; - You can authorize others for commercial use (for example, brands wanting to use your original Gen-IP for brand image); - Revenue sharing: if others generate new content based on your work, you can also receive a portion of the earnings; - You can package and sell a batch of Gen-IP assets; - AI content platforms (similar to Civitai, Lexica) integrating Gen-IP protocols, creators automatically share profits; - Social platforms (like X) will support displaying "Gen-IP authorization status" in the future, unauthorized commercial use will be marked or taken down.
Chan Mo Po and others announced the first batch of guests for the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival
“Web3 Carnival is the most locally distinctive industry summit that can reach millions of high-level local developers, entrepreneurs, and newcomers.” - TON Foundation Asia Pacific Head John “As a sponsoring partner of the Hong Kong Web3 Festival for four consecutive years, we have witnessed the entire process of the Hong Kong Web3 ecosystem from its inception to accelerated development. This stage not only connects the world's most forward-looking technological forces but also effectively promotes the industry to find a balance between security, compliance, and innovation. We look forward to continuing to build a safer Web3 infrastructure with ecological partners and promoting the industry's long-term value and secure development.” - SlowMist
Gen-IP: Redefining Digital Assets in the AI Era - From No Man's Land to Value Connectivity
In today's explosion of generative AI, we face an awkward legal and technical vacuum: AI-generated content is difficult to confirm rights due to the lack of 'human originality', and once the carefully tuned prompts, LoRA models, and workflows of creators are made public, they can be easily plagiarized at zero cost. To address this issue, zCloak Network has launched Gen-IP (Generative Intellectual Property) - a digital asset rights confirmation and distribution protocol specifically designed for the AI era. Not just about rights confirmation, but also a 'proof of labor' Gen-IP is not a traditional copyright certificate, but a cryptographically-based 'Rights Object', which fundamentally addresses the 'quantification and preservation of human intellectual labor'.
zCloak Network announces the launch of Gen-IP (Generative Intellectual Property Protocol). zCloak Network states that in the context of the generative AI explosion, it is difficult to ascertain rights over AI-generated content, and prompts and workflows are easily subject to costless plagiarism, necessitating innovation in IP protection models. Gen-IP cryptographically encapsulates the interaction process and results between creators and AI as an immutable "proof of labor," achieving "creation equals rights" and activating the value flow of AI creation.
The Gen-IP application uses Passkey login, which can generate a globally unique AI-ID for users within seconds, supporting "creation equals rights" within applications like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc., and anchoring rights declarations to public blockchain certificates, which are forever unremovable and unalterable. It is reported that Gen-IP is a truly programmable IP protocol that supports copyright inheritance, automatic profit sharing, secondary creation rights confirmation, and asset trading. In the future, it will also achieve Prompt "usable but invisible" through cryptographic technologies such as proxy re-encryption and privacy computing, releasing the value of AI asset circulation while protecting trade secrets, and building an AI value layer of "code equals law."
zCloak Network: The Financial Operating System of the AI Era
1. Transformation: Shifting from human-centered finance to AI-native finance The evolution of human history can be defined by the changes in the form of ledgers, from clay tablets to double-entry bookkeeping, ultimately to digital banking. Every financial system is designed based on the same assumption: the operator is human. This assumption is now outdated. Humanity is stepping into an era where software not only records value but also determines the allocation of value. Artificial intelligence is transitioning from a passive tool to an active economic participant, with AI agents beginning to negotiate, trade, and execute at speeds and scales unattainable by human-led financial systems.
Listen, I speak frankly, most so-called educational technology is just old wine in new bottles, but occasionally some truly game-changing things appear, such as artificial intelligence memory, especially Kinic AI memory, which is one of them. Next, I will explain the reasons directly. What is so special about artificial intelligence memory? The problem with most artificial intelligence tools is: they forget. You have a conversation with someone, close the window, and then - bang! The conversation is gone, you have to start over, re-explain everything, re-upload the same document, it's like teaching, where students forget every night, which is completely useless.
