Mind Network x402z Testnet Launch: Using FHE to Provide a Privacy Payment Security Barrier for AI Agents

Mind Network has launched the x402z testing environment, a privacy solution specifically designed for encrypted A2A payments. Using fully homomorphic encryption and the ERC-7984 standard, x402z can verify the legality of transactions without revealing transaction details, ensuring the security of AI agent business intentions. The testing environment is now open to the public.

【ChainNews】Mind Network has recently officially launched the x402z testing environment, a privacy solution specifically designed for encrypted A2A (Agent to Agent) payment scenarios.

The core issue is this: while blockchain transparency ensures transaction credibility, it becomes a significant flaw for AI agents. Once an agent interacts on-chain, its business intentions—such as specific needs when purchasing data or computing resources—are fully visible to everyone. This poses a huge risk for agents operating in competitive environments.

Mind Network cleverly addresses this contradiction by introducing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and the ERC-7984 standard. In simple terms, x402z enables blockchain networks to verify the legality of transactions without knowing the specific details. Amounts, recipients, and genuine intentions are encrypted and hidden, yet the verification mechanism still functions. This is akin to providing AI agents with a zero-trust security middleware layer.

The x402z testing environment is now open to everyone. If you want to experience it, you can try converting standard assets into the privacy ERC-7984 standard format or directly test the Agent privacy payment feature.

Mind Network itself is built on the zero-trust protocol HTTPZ as the foundation of encrypted internet infrastructure, supported by leading exchanges and multiple blockchain ecosystems. The implementation of this technology is definitely worth paying attention to.

honestly the FHE implementation here is statistically significant but ngl the real question is whether the token velocity model actually accounts for endogenous agent behavior... most people sleeping on the correlation matrix implications tbh

Back to the FHE set again, it feels like every project wants to use it to save privacy. Is it really feasible? --- AI agents fighting each other also fear being exposed. Now this gets interesting. --- Who set the ERC-7984 standard? It seems like there are more and more standards, which actually makes things more chaotic. --- Privacy payments sound good, but I'm worried it's just another PPT project on the testnet. --- Fully homomorphic encryption performance is known to be lacking, right? x402z probably isn't blazing fast either. --- So basically, it's about letting robots trade secretly and stealthily. Sounds a bit shady... --- Wait, doesn't that turn into a black box operation? Humans can't see what AI is doing. --- Why do all privacy projects now like to implement FHE? Is there really a truly practical one? --- I haven't heard of Mind Network. Another obscure small project? --- Chain transparency vs. privacy—this contradiction definitely exists. But can FHE really solve it perfectly? I'm skeptical.

Really, the privacy issues of AI agents are only now being taken seriously... It should have been done this way a long time ago. --- Can the FHE system really run effectively? It feels like every time it's hyped up, but in the end, there's no follow-up. --- Wait, after encryption like this, does on-chain data still have meaning? Doesn't it essentially revert to centralization? --- The name x402z is really lacking imagination... but the idea hits the pain point. --- The privacy war in AI agent competition, this track is about to get started. --- It sounds good to call it privacy protection, but actually, it's probably still about fear of reverse engineering... --- Who will review the ERC-7984 standard? If there's a backdoor, it would be awkward. --- Finally, someone is doing something practical with FHE; before, it was all just papers.

Huh? AI agents also need to worry about privacy? Now even robots are starting to fear revealing their cards. --- FHE is back again. Can it really hold up, or is this just another wave of hype? --- Wow, the transparency of blockchain has now become a pain point for intelligent agents. This reversal is quite interesting. --- Wait, does this mean that in the future, my Agent's transaction records can also be kept hidden? Then how can I gossip about what the neighbor's bot is doing, haha? --- I've never even heard of the ERC-7984 standard. Is there a new standard now? --- Does privacy payment really matter that much for AI... feels a bit like unnecessary worry? --- Finally, someone remembers the competitive pressure of intelligent agents. About time to do it this way. --- Basically, it's like encrypted communication on the chain, right? The idea is quite clear. --- Mind Network is up to something new again. How reliable is it this time, everyone? --- Scary, now even Agents have to be cautious about being exposed.

FHE this set of technology sounds quite sci-fi, but whether it can be implemented effectively depends on actual performance benchmarks. Let's wait and see. --- AI agents also need to be kept under wraps; this is where on-chain privacy truly becomes a necessity. --- Another solution to the "Transparency Paradox," Web3 is constantly tinkering with this issue... --- Gotta say, this approach isn't bad. Competition requires secrecy; otherwise, there's no way to play. --- Wait, what is ERC-7984? I haven't heard of it before. --- Betting 5 dollars, this testnet also ended in failure... but looking forward to being proven wrong. --- Privacy payments have always been a pain point, but can FHE's performance really support mainnet deployment?
