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

PANews, December 23 – Mind Network announced the launch of its encrypted A2A (Agent-to-Agent) payment solution, x402z. This solution, a deep collaboration between FHE technology leader Mind Network and Zama, aims to resolve the fundamental conflict between blockchain transparency and the strategic 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.”

The x402z integrates Zama's production-grade fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology stack with the ERC-7984 crypto token standard, enabling "blind verification" of economic activities. Verifiers can confirm the compliance of transactions without accessing specific amounts, balances, or transaction intentions. Zama CEO Rand Hindi stated, "For AI to be free, its computation must remain private. FHE gives them the right to think and transact in secret. The x402z is a first step towards a privacy-driven, autonomous economy."

Addressing the issue of excessive transparency in current blockchain technology leading to the leakage of AI agent strategies, cost structures, and IP addresses, 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.

It is reported that Mind Network has received investment from well-known institutions such as Yzi Labs, HashKey, and Chainlink, and has simultaneously launched the x402z A2A Payment Alliance, aiming to unite leaders in the fields of AI and privacy to jointly build privacy financial standards for the Agent Economy era.
