🔐 For years, Galactica has been building privacy infrastructure, with a particular focus on private identity: enabling users to prove required facts without revealing the underlying personal data.
🤖 The rise of autonomous AI agents has made this work even more relevant. As agents begin to access services, select models, make payments and complete transactions on behalf of people and organizations, they need privacy-preserving ways to demonstrate authorization, eligibility and payment.
🤝 Together with our partners at
@aztecnetwork , we identified delegated KYC for AI agents as a particularly important application of our zkKYC primitives. A user should be able to grant an agent a limited, verifiable credential; the agent should be able to prove eligibility without exposing the underlying identity documents; and the resulting payment should not create a public trail that makes the user's activity easy to reconstruct.
🧮 But identity is only one part of the problem. The emergence of AI has created an entirely new range of applications for modern cryptography, particularly around inference the process at the core of every AI system and, increasingly, everyday digital services. Our work has therefore expanded from private identity to private settlement and private inference.
🎯 This leads to our broader mission: bringing privacy to the entire AI inference value chain.
🧠 Private identity protects the party behind a request and allows users or agents to prove only the facts required for access. Private settlement prevents payment activity from becoming a public record of user behavior. Private inference protects prompts, context and outputs during computation.
🙈 These layers cannot be treated as separate privacy problems. A hidden prompt is not truly private if identity, payment history, model selection or usage patterns can still reveal the user's intent. Our goal is to connect identity, settlement and inference into a single system in which every stage discloses only the minimum information necessary.
🚀 This is what we are excited to build with Aztec and other partners. As AI becomes an execution layer for everyday life, privacy must become a native property of its infrastructure not an optional feature added afterward.
🌐 By combining zero-knowledge identity, private settlement and confidential inference, we have an opportunity to build an AI economy in which both people and autonomous agents can prove, pay and compute without surrendering unnecessary information.
