Zypher AI Mining Official Launch: Redefining the Future of AI Mining and User Participation
From Hash Power to Human Power: A New Era of AI-Powered Mining Begins
In 2025, with the rapid rise of AI agents, artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming the way we live. Against this backdrop, traditional mining models that rely solely on hardware computing power can no longer fully capture the value created by users. At the same time, social interactions, identity verification, and behavioral contributions have become increasingly important factors, calling for an innovative mining paradigm that reflects this multidimensional value.
It is precisely for this reason that Zypher AI Mining was born. By building a decentralized and verifiable system, it integrates human trust, participation, and AI collaboration, breaking through the limitations of traditional computing power. Through social and behavioral proofs, Zypher empowers every user with a wallet to contribute real value in the AI era—and be rewarded accordingly.
As a pioneer in the field, we are excited to launch the world’s first decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) computing stack specifically designed for verifiably safe and autonomous AI agents—the Zypher AI Agent Mining Protocol. Leveraging the innovative Proof of ZK Work (PoZK) consensus mechanism combined with an integrated social mining layer, Zypher is redefining the rules of trust and value distribution, creating a decentralized ecosystem centered on AI.
This launch marks the beginning of a multi-phase, gamified mining journey that spans from DePIN miners to casual users. By participating, users can earn GEM NFTs, Soulbound Tokens (SBTs), and accumulate Zypher Points, while also competing for over $100,000 in USDT rewards—truly enabling everyone to join and share in the future of AI mining.
Today, we are excited to officially launch Zypher AI Mining—a gamified, verifiable, and community-driven mining experience that unfolds across two major campaign stages.
Zypher AI Mining Campaigns
AI Mining Stage 1.0 – Identity & Social Engagement Validation
The first stage focuses on verifying user participation and engagement through on-chain social interactions.
Mining Booster 1.0: Users collect Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) by playing the 2048 game. These tokens serve as proof of participation and provide multipliers for future mining rewards.
AI Mining Stage 1.0: Users earn mining points and rewards by completing the standard mining process, helping to establish a secure and verifiable participant base.
This stage is designed to validate user identity and engagement while preparing the ecosystem for more advanced participation mechanisms.
AI Mining Stage 2.0 & 3.0 – Feedback & Contribution
Stage 2 builds on Stage 1 by introducing AI interaction and additional Mining Booster campaigns.
Mining Booster 2.0 & 3.0: Users earn SBTs through interactions with new DApps, including Zombie, Ten Rings, Trump, CR, and Bingo games.
AI Mining Stage 2.0 & 3.0: Users actively contribute to AI model training and evaluation by providing feedback during AI interactions, further optimizing models and earning higher rewards.
This stage encourages continuous participation, rewards meaningful contributions, and strengthens the overall AI ecosystem through user engagement and feedback.
What is Zypher AI Mining?
The AI Agent Mining Protocol is a DePIN for distributed proving, powered by multi-faucet incentives. Every time a registered AI Agent completes a task, a certificate of safety guarantee is generated by one or more miners and verified on-chain.
By decentralizing the proving layer, we enable long-term ecosystem growth, strong network effects, and real value accrual to our token economy. Instead of depending on a centralized inference provider, security is upheld by global miners—enhancing resilience and censorship resistance.
Moreover, by distributing ZK proof workloads to diverse miners, the network can tap into idle or lower-cost computers globally. Incentives and cryptography ensure correctness and reliability without relying on trust.
Proof of ZK Work Consensus: Incentives Mechanism
We first introduced the Proof of ZK Work (PoZK) consensus mechanism in our Economics Litepaper.
https://x.com/Zypher_Network/status/1912038188555915470
PoZK integrates concepts from both PoS (Proof of Stake) and PoW (Proof of Work) to quantify the computational workload of generating ZK proofs, then fairly distributes rewards to participants—driving the ecosystem’s utility flywheel. Combined with a Cobb-Douglas incentive model, PoZK accounts for miner compute contributions, token staking, and user activity—delivering a balanced approach to efficiency and fairness.
Designing Principals:
Dynamic Macro User–Miner Reward Ratio
To maintain incentive equilibrium throughout different phases of ecosystem growth, PoZK uses a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the reward split between miners and users every epoch. Notably, the proportion allocated to miners is inversely related to the network's usage efficiency.
Standardizing ZK Workload
The computational cost of ZK proof generation is normalized into a standard R1CS-based Work Load, allowing tasks to be evaluated on a comparable basis. The number of logic gates within a ZK circuit directly reflects its complexity—higher gate counts require more time and resources. A backend-specific weighting factor is applied for different ZK systems.
Cobb-Douglas Incentive Allocation
PoZK not only ensures substantial rewards for high-performance nodes but also incentivizes participants who stake tokens or actively use the network. Allocation parameters are subject to community governance and can be adjusted to align incentives as the network evolves.
