Zero-Knowledge Artificial General Intelligence (zkAGI) is an open-source framework to advance decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). The primary goal of zkAGI is to incentivize participants within the ecosystem, including GPU providers, model trainers, AI developers, and data owners, while ensuring privacy and security through the integration of federated learning and zero-knowledge proofs. ^[1][10]

zkAGI deployed its testnet in late 2023 and launched its website on April 22, 2024. ^[9]

Overview

zkAGI addresses privacy issues in Artificial Intelligence (AI) by merging Zero Knowledge (ZK) technology with decentralized GPU infrastructure (DePIN), offering private AI computation on a cost-effective platform. ^[1][2]

It leverages the system's ZkML Coprocessor called Zynapse to enable the API to empower AI operations without exposing sensitive data, making it a suitable choice for developers and enterprises seeking privacy-centric AI solutions with high processing speeds and significant cost savings. ^[1][10]

Zynapse API

Zynapse API is a core infra solution offering decentralized, secure access to AI infrastructure, ensuring privacy and easy deployment of zero knowledge-proof-enabled machine learning models.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN)

DePIN refers to a network of physical infrastructure resources (such as computing power, storage, and networking) that are distributed across various locations rather than being centralized in one data center. This decentralized model offers improved fault tolerance, scalability, and reduced latency.^[2]

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) are cryptographic techniques that enable one party (the prover) to prove to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without revealing any additional information beyond the validity of the statement itself. ^[1]

In the context of ZkAGI, zero-knowledge proofs can be used to verify the integrity of computations or to attest to the accuracy of AI models without disclosing sensitive data. ^[1]

Products

ZkSurfer

ZkSurfer is a suite of tools that can help developers and blockchain enthusiasts tackle secure online automation, code generation, content generation, node creation, and marketing, leveraging Zynapse API. ^[3]

AI Launchpad

An end-user digital assistant product for on-chain and off-chain automation. It is a DO/ICO platform for AI projects building on Zynapse API. ^[3]

$ZkAGI

$ZkAGI is a utility token that enables developers and users to utilize a decentralized, high-powered, customizable infrastructure while keeping their data private. Additionally, it offers actionable and verifiable machine learning outputs. ^[2]
