Mind Network

A shared judgment on the future of Web3 is evolving into a technological fusion that defines next-generation infrastructure.
This article will frame the journey of Mind Network and Chainlink for the Mind Network community.
The starting point of this story is a profound insight: If ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) solved the problem of verifiability for Web3, then FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) will solve the problem of confidential computing.
This journey demonstrates how a shared commitment evolves into a deep engineering implementation based on FHE.
Phase 1: Starting with Strategic Trust and Ecosystem Building (Build)
“If we want a civilization with privacy, we have to make it. We have to be computers, cryptographers, and… build the systems that give us the privacy we want.”—Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon
This call to action from Cryptonomicon is the spiritual core of Mind Network. Privacy is not the default; it must be actively built.
When Mind Network announced its first $2.5 million seed round, Chainlink was already listed as a “key strategic partner.” Mind Network shares a common goal with institutions like Binance Labs and Consensys: “to enhance the security and data privacy of the entire Web3 ecosystem.”
This strategic alignment materialized in January 2023: Mind Network officially joined the Chainlink Build program.

Joining Build was a public declaration of commitment. The goal was clear: to accelerate the adoption of the “decentralized privacy-preserving data lake.” Through this program, Mind Network gained expert technical guidance and vast ecosystem resources from the Chainlink Labs team.
To achieve deep ecosystem alignment, Mind Network committed 3% of its total native token supply to Chainlink service providers (including stakers).
This commitment has recently begun to be actualized through Chainlink Rewards Season 1.
In this program, Mind Network’s native token (FHE) will be claimable by eligible LINK token stakers. This not only strengthens the economic security of the Chainlink network but also allows Mind Network’s token to be deeply integrated into Chainlink’s ecosystem.

Phase 2: From “HTTP” to “HTTPZ”
“Privacy is not secrecy… Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.”Bruce Schneier, renowned cryptographer and security thinker
Bruce Schneier provides the best technical definition of “privacy”: it is about “control.” FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) is the ultimate technology for achieving this control.
This collaboration quickly pivoted to core technology integration to solve one of the industry’s most difficult challenges: cross-chain security and privacy.
Web2’s HTTPS protocol only encrypts data “in transit.”
Web3 needs a protocol that encrypts data “in transit, at rest, and in use.” This is HTTPZ, a true Zero-Trust Network.
In May 2024, FHE engineering breakthroughs led to the FHE Bridge, an institutional-level product developed by Mind Network using Chainlink CCIP.

This revolutionary solution is the first to simultaneously solve the dual challenges of cross-chain security and computational privacy:
The Quantum-Resistant Encryption Layer (FHE): The FHE algorithms are based on lattice cryptography, making them inherently resistant to quantum computing attacks. It allows computation and validation directly on encrypted data, which is the key to achieving a true “HTTPZ.”The Interoperability Standard (CCIP): As the industry-standard cross-chain solution, Chainlink CCIP provides the FHE Bridge with an unparalleled foundation of security and messaging capabilities.
In simple terms: When a user interacts with the FHE Bridge, MindSAP (FHE stealth address protocol) encrypts the user’s transactional intent and addresses. The FHE validation nodes can then compute the validity of the transaction without ever decrypting this information. Finally, the instructions and assets are securely transmitted to the destination chain via CCIP.
This marks the evolution of the collaboration from “ecosystem building” to “technical building.”
Advancing Together: Empowering Agentic AI and the “Autonomous Intelligent Economy”
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”Alan Kay, computer science pioneer, Turing Award winner

The story of Mind Network and Chainlink is one of commitment and evolution.
Strategic Trust: Chainlink as a key strategic partner.Ecological Commitment: Joining Build and launching Rewards Season 1, deeply participating in Chainlink’s ecosystem.Technological Fusion: Developing the FHE Bridge, merging FHE’s quantum-resistant encrypted computation with CCIP’s secure cross-chain messaging.
This story proves the Mind Network philosophy: True builders find each other.
The FHE Bridge is not just built for token transfers; it is building critical infrastructure for the next wave of Web3.
The essence of AI is processing data, yet the essence of blockchain is public transparency. A fully transparent AI agent cannot protect trade secrets, hold an edge in financial markets, or protect user privacy. The rise of Agentic AI will transform confidential computing from a “nice-to-have” into a “must-have.”
This is where FHE becomes essential. FHE allows an AI agent to perform computation and reasoning on encrypted data, giving it the most critical capability: “The Ability to Think Confidentially.”
But an agent that only “thinks” is not enough; it must “act.” In a multi-chain universe, an agent that cannot move cross-chain is crippled. Chainlink CCIP, as the industry standard interoperability protocol, provides its second critical capability: “The Ability to Act Securely.”
Therefore, the FHE Bridge is the prototype of a complete infrastructure stack:
Mind Network (FHE) provides the “Confidential Brain.”Chainlink (CCIP) provides the “Secure Nervous System.”
Whether it’s the x402 protocol for AI agent micropayments or sensitive transactions involving RWAs (Real-World Assets) by institutions, FHE will play an indispensable role in protecting commercial secrets and transactional privacy.
When AI agents or institutions need to execute complex, cross-chain tasks involving confidential data, they will require a channel that is both secure (powered by CCIP) and private (guaranteed by FHE). This is the future Mind Network and Chainlink are building together.
This journey is just beginning.

Mind Network is deploying its FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) driven secure intelligent agent ecosystem on BytePlus cloud infrastructure, achieving privacy protection and verifiable cross-platform execution for AI Agents.
Today, AI and agents are becoming the next 'app store', transforming the way we live and work. Tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and their plugins have become a part of our daily lives.
There is no doubt that the era of AI Agents has arrived, and the growth rate is rapid.
However, this rapid expansion also brings three fundamental challenges:

Mind Network is an innovative pioneer in the fields of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Decentralized Confidential Computing (DeCC). It has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with BytePlus to jointly promote the construction of secure AI infrastructure and lay the foundation for privacy-protecting intelligent services.
This collaboration combines Mind Network's expertise in encrypted data protection with BytePlus's capabilities in AI model deployment and function computing cloud services. Through technological integration, both parties will accelerate the construction and promotion of a scalable and secure agent ecosystem.

On May 23, Mind Network announced the launch of encrypted transfer capabilities supporting Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), enabling developers and institutions to conduct compliant privacy USDC transfers across multiple supported blockchains. This functionality is realized through the integration of Mind Network with Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which provides the messaging infrastructure for CCTP.
This is the first application of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) in production environments for CCTP transfers. With this update, projects integrating CCTP can hide sensitive transaction metadata such as wallet addresses and transfer amounts without changing Circle's underlying infrastructure or existing integrations.

The strength of AI Agents comes from autonomy, which must be built on security. Mind Network, centered on FHE, provides a new path for agents to collaborate without exposing data, solving the trust dilemma.

The latest IDO project Mind Network on Binance Wallet has received investment from Binance Labs.
AI Agents have become one of the most important hotspots over the past year, giving rise to star projects such as Virutual and ai16z. NVidia CEO Jensen Huang has also publicly supported AI Agents, stating that 'AI Agents may be the next robotics industry, with potential reaching trillions of dollars.' Recently, OpenAI released a brand-new toolkit designed to simplify AI Agent application development, providing substantial development support for complex AI Agents. In 2025, the potential for AI Agents may continue to explode, with various intelligent agents capable of autonomous decision-making and collaborative work accelerating towards practicality.

We are on the brink of a transformation comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. — Vernor Vinge

With the official launch of $FHE Claim and staking, the Mind Network ecosystem begins its next phase: Empowering a new era of intelligence.
Built on privacy, autonomy, and fully homomorphic encryption, Mind Network is redefining how AI lives, learns, and scales on-chain.
In just over a year, Mind Network has evolved from a technical vision into a powerful protocol stack. Driven by FHE, supported by leading institutions, and backed by over two million CitizenZ users globally.

The dawn of agent AI: Dreams begin to take shape

Initially, artificial intelligence was merely a distant fantasy for most. It was born from the imaginations of pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy, an ideal rather than a reality.
As early as the 1950s, Turing posed that famous question: 'Can machines think like us?'
McCarthy first coined the term 'artificial intelligence' in 1956, envisioning systems that could simulate human reasoning.
Over the following decades, we invented various tools, from calculators to software to industrial robots. The essence of these tools is that they passively respond to human instructions.

We will walk you through the evolution of AgenticWorld and explore how the architecture of Mind Network has developed from the initial concept to its current form - with security, autonomy and trust as the foundation for the future of Agentic AI.
Motivation for Building AgenticWorld
We have experienced the baptism of several technological waves in the past, and today, we firmly believe that the era of Agentic AI has arrived. Unless MAGA (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon) has bet on the wrong AI, it is certain that in the near future, each of us will have and entrust one or more Agentic AI to perform tasks for us. These intelligent agents will collaborate under our authorization - automatically working, negotiating and making decisions.
