The world of decentralized AI and AGI takes a leap forward today with an exciting partnership between SingularityNET, founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, and Mina Foundation, a non-profit supporting the Mina Protocol, a blockchain pioneer known for its privacy-enhancing zero-knowledge proof (zk-SNARK) technology.
This partnership is set to advance decentralized AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) while prioritizing data privacy and security, creating a new standard in the AI and blockchain landscapes. It has its sights set on exploring the development of AGI-powered decision-making agents that could be used, for example, in decentralized governance, creating a promise for a future in which decentralized AI is much safer and more secure.
This new partnership between SingularityNET and Mina Foundation marks a very important advancement for the ASI Alliance, aligning with its mission to build safe, decentralized AGI systems. By combining SingularityNET’s knowledge layer with Mina’s zero-knowledge proof technology, the Alliance takes a significant step toward creating AGI applications that prioritize both privacy and security.
This collaboration enables connecting SingularityNET’s longstanding commitment of driving forward decentralized AGI with Mina Protocol’s emphasis on safeguarding user data and improving confidentiality.
By integrating Mina’s zk-SNARKs technology with SingularityNET’s decentralized AI services, the partnership will create a secure and scalable knowledge layer, opening up opportunities for innovative developer engagement. This collaboration highlights the ASI Alliance’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence while addressing modern concerns about data security and governance.
The partnership’s immediate goal will be to explore the integration of SingularityNET’s AI infrastructure with Mina Protocol’s zk-SNARKs technology, laying the groundwork for enhanced data integrity and security within decentralized AI systems.
In the mid-term, the partners are planning to work together on exploring the development of decision-making AI agents that could be used for personalized and decentralized governance, enhancing community participation. This aspect of the collaboration is a significant step towards empowering developers and participants in both ecosystems to build personalized AI agents, paving the way for more secure, interoperable models across different blockchain platforms.
Another key focus of this partnership is supporting the Internet of Knowledge initiative on the SingularityNET platform, where AI agents and identity providers work together to form a secure, decentralized knowledge layer. By creating new knowledge layer tools and opportunities for both platforms, this partnership will ultimately empower the developer community to build the next generation of AI. The ASI Alliance will collectively collaborate with the Mina Foundation to support them in their ZKML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning) platform.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance, stated:
“Integration of SingularityNET and Mina technologies will constitute a significant step toward realizing the vision of secure decentralized AI that works efficiently at scale. As AI dominates the world economy and gradually advances toward AGI and superintelligence, few things occurring on the planet are more important than this.”
Evan Shapiro, Co-founder of Mina Protocol and CPSO of Mina Foundation, also expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership:
“This partnership represents a strategic advancement in exploring zero knowledge technology’s potential for decentralized AI systems. By integrating SingularityNET’s AI infrastructure with Mina’s zk-SNARKs, we are especially excited about creating new pathways for developers to build more secure, privacy-preserving AI agents that can enhance community decision-making processes.”
To support the growth of decentralized AI projects, SingularityNET and Mina Foundation will explore joint funding initiatives through programs like Deep Funding and Navigators. This partnership aims to incubate and fund the next generation of decentralized AI innovations, driving forward the vision of a secure, scalable, and privacy-focused AI future. And to further amplify the impact of this partnership, both parties will work on joint marketing and social media campaigns, raising awareness within their respective communities and beyond.
This partnership serves as a strong testament to the growing strength of the ASI Alliance, which continues to facilitate collaboration between leaders in AI and blockchain technologies.
The strategic partnership between SingularityNET and Mina Foundation reflects the core mission of the ASI Alliance: to create a future where decentralized AI systems are not only more powerful but also more secure, scalable, and inclusive for developers and users alike.
By aligning SingularityNET’s decentralized AGI ambitions with Mina Protocol’s leading privacy and security technology, the ASI Alliance showcases its ability to foster transformative collaborations that enhance the broader AI ecosystem.
SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country. The SingularityNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. Our core platform and AI teams are further complemented by specialized teams devoted to application areas such as finance, robotics, biomedical AI, media, arts and entertainment.
Mina Protocol is a next-gen zero knowledge (ZK) blockchain. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is fixed at a few kilobytes, the size of a couple tweets. Lightweight and accessible, Mina enables efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge applications (zkApps). With Mina’s enhanced privacy features and off-chain execution model, developers can build novel applications that bridge the real world and crypto— bringing us closer to the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
Mina Foundation is a non-profit supporting the Mina Protocol and its ecosystem. The Foundation aims to advance the goal of creating a secure web3 with zero knowledge proofs— ushering in a new era of private and scalable applications— by issuing grants, fostering community growth, and championing Mina in the wider world.
