PANews reported on January 20th that Mind Network, the FHE infrastructure provider, has officially launched the x402z test environment. As a cryptographic A2A (Agent to Agent) payment solution, x402z utilizes Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and the ERC-7984 standard to address the conflict between on-chain transparency and the privacy needs of AI agents.

The transparency of blockchain can cause AI agents to expose their commercial intentions when purchasing data or computing power. By acting as a zero-trust layer for AI, x402z allows the network to verify the validity of transactions without decrypting transaction details (such as amount, recipient, and specific intention), thereby protecting the autonomy of intelligent agents in a competitive environment.

The x402z test environment is now open to the public, allowing users to experience core functions such as encapsulating standard assets into the privacy-preserving ERC-7984 standard and agent-based privacy payments. Mind Network, with investment from Binance Labs, Chainlink, and other institutions, is dedicated to building an encrypted internet based on the zero-trust protocol HTTPZ.
