Zypher Network Raises $7M to Advance Zero-Knowledge Trust Layer for Autonomous AI Agents

Zypher Network, a decentralized infrastructure platform for verifiable AI agent behavior, has closed a $7 million funding round co-led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with participation from HashKey Capital, Hong Leong Group, Cogitent Ventures, and others. The investment will accelerate the development of Zypher’s zero-knowledge protocol suite and AI-specific rollup infrastructure, aimed at securing interactions within the fast-growing autonomous agent ecosystem.

Zypher’s core solution, Proof of Prompt, enables public verification of AI agent outputs while preserving privacy, delivered via a RESTful API. Powered by Zytron, a Layer 2 rollup on BNB Chain, Zypher facilitates distributed proof generation and real-time trust assurance. With over one million on-chain participants and integrations across major AI and blockchain protocols, Zypher is building a verifiable trust standard for AI at global scale.
