Mind Network, in partnership with Zama, launched the first A2A privacy payment solution based on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) x402z

Mars Finance reports that Mind Network has announced the launch of its encrypted A2A (Agent-to-Agent) payment solution, x402z. This solution, a deep collaboration between Mind Network, a leader in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Zama, aims to resolve the fundamental conflict between blockchain transparency and the privacy needs of autonomous AI agents. Mind Network CEO Christian Pusateri stated, "x402z is a 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 cryptographic token standard, enabling "blind verification" of economic activities. Verifiers can confirm the compliance of transactions without accessing the specific amount, balance, or transaction intent. Zama CEO Rand Hindi stated, "For AI to achieve freedom, its computation must remain private. FHE grants them the right to think and transact in secret. x402z is the first step towards a privacy-driven autonomous economy." Addressing the current issue of "excessive transparency" in blockchain leading to the leakage of AI agent strategies, cost structures, and IP, x402z provides essential privacy protection for the agent economy, preventing agents from losing their competitive edge due to data breaches. Furthermore, through the x402 protocol, AI agents can autonomously generate encrypted payment instructions and complete zero-trust settlements within Mind Network's FHE verification network. Mind Network has reportedly received investment from renowned institutions such as Yzi Labs, HashKey, and Chainlink, and has simultaneously launched the x402z A2A payment alliance, aiming to unite leaders in the AI and privacy fields to jointly build privacy-focused financial standards for the agent economy era.
