Mind Network and BytePlus Sign Strategic Memorandum of Understanding to Build an Encrypted AI Reasoning and Trusted Agent Ecosystem

Mind Network announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with BytePlus, a cloud computing platform under ByteDance. The two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation around fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and decentralized confidential computing (DeCC), jointly promote the construction of secure AI infrastructure, and help build intelligent services that protect user privacy.

This cooperation integrates Mind Network's technical accumulation in encrypted data protection and BytePlus's capabilities in cloud infrastructure such as AI model deployment and function computing, aiming to promote a scalable, secure, and trusted agent (Agentic) ecosystem to lay the foundation for the next generation of AI applications.

The content of the cooperation mainly focuses on two key directions:

First, at the technical integration level, BytePlus will provide Mind Network with DeepSeek, a large language model with standardized API access through its ModelArk platform. The entire model reasoning process will be encrypted through Mind Network's self-developed FHE module to achieve data privacy and end-to-end protection from user input, model execution to output. All computing and verification tasks are performed on BytePlus's function computing architecture to ensure high performance and enhance system security.

Secondly, the two parties will explore injecting FHE support into AI agents through the BytePlus platform. Mind Network will integrate its Model Context Protocol (MCP) into the BytePlus environment to provide developers with basic tools to build smart agents with privacy protection and on-chain verifiability, and accelerate the development of a trusted AI ecosystem.

Christian, founder and CEO of Mind Network, said: "This memorandum of understanding reflects our common vision of building intelligent systems that respect user privacy and promote operational trust. Deploying our FHE technology on BytePlus's powerful infrastructure will accelerate our vision of building a trusted agent ecosystem."
