AI depends on data. Blockchains depend on trust. To combine them, privacy has to be solved.
Cypher is Zero1 Labsβ FHEβEVM chain, designed for AI and LLM applications. It performs computations directly on encrypted data, ensuring inputs stay private while results remain correct.
Built for confidential workloads, Cypher preserves scalability, enforces compliance standards, and enables developers to deploy decentralized AI applications without exposing sensitive information.

Zero1 Labs set out to make privacy-preserving decentralized AI real.
Over the past two years, we built the Cypher FHE-EVM Layer, launched the Keymaker platform, and supported open-source AI builders through the Zero Construct Program.
Today we are sharing that Zero1 Labs is winding down.
This was not an easy decision. We are proud of what we built and of the people who built it with us. Our repositories will remain open-source on GitHub for anyone exploring encrypted computation and decentralized AI.
Every intelligent system needs a common language for execution.
Cypher defines that layer for Zero1 Labs.
Bridging agents, protocols, and workflows through structured JSON calls and FHE-secured computation.

With FHE, your data stays encrypted the entire time it is being used, not just while it is stored.
That is what makes confidential AI possible on Cypher: models can run inference on inputs they never actually see in plaintext.
Zero1 Labs is fully open source on GitHub.
Cypher, tooling, and supporting
infrastructure, all public, all available to explore, run, and build on.

Modern AI has a data ownership problem.
Training datasets are often scraped without consent, hard to audit, and controlled by centralized platforms.
Z1 is building infrastructure for decentralized AI with encrypted data pipelines and verifiable provenance.
AI can now compute on data it never sees.
Cypher is the FHE-EVM chain, purpose-built for confidential AI.
Encrypted inputs, verifiable outputs, full privacy by default.
Deploy decentralized AI without ever exposing sensitive data.
Turn AI chats into onchain NFTs.
Chat-NFT pins each session to IPFS, hashes context + model metadata via MCP, and mints an ERC-721 to your wallet.
