Now x402 allows agents to independently pay for API tuning, and the prediction market has also exploded, but both rely on one thing: data sources.
The question is, how does the agent know that the data retrieved is genuine?
The logic of traditional oracle machines like Chainlink is to vote for the median of 20 nodes, which is suitable for public data such as coin prices. But there will be significant issues in scenarios such as AI Agent calling OpenAI. Firstly, there are privacy concerns, as it is impossible to broadcast API keys to 20 nodes; The second issue is consensus, where asking the same complex prompt 20 times may result in 20 different answers, making it impossible to vote.
Finally, the agent is forced to trust a single node. This is nonsense. Is the security of the entire protocol all dependent on one node not causing harm? What if it returns fake data to save money? What if it gets hacked?
@ The idea of DeAgentAI is to use zkTLS to solve the above problems.
When a node calls the API, the entire TLS encrypted session is recorded and a zero knowledge proof is generated.
This proof can prove three things at the same time: I am indeed connected to the official server, I sent this request, and I received this reply. The key is that the API key is fully encrypted and hidden, but the on chain contract can verify the authenticity of the entire process.
The contract does not care about who submits the data, only about proving its validity. Mathematics does not lie.
This architecture has already been implemented in the Sui, BSC, and BTC ecosystems. 18.5 million users, 440000 daily active peak, 195 million on chain transactions. It's not a laboratory toy, it's a real infrastructure that carries traffic.
The economic logic is also very clear. Traditional oracle machines sell data, while DeAgentAI sells trust. On chain verification of ZK proof is indeed expensive, but this is a predictable gas cost. If the agent loses millions of dollars due to trusting the wrong node, it is a risk cost with no upper limit. Which one is more cost-effective?
They also did modular design, with AIOracle responsible for business logic and ZKVerifier responsible for cryptographic verification. When new ZK technologies such as STARK or PLONK mature, simply upgrade the verification module without migrating the entire ecosystem. This is building an architecture for the next decade.
X402 solves the payment problem, and DeAgentAI solves the trust problem. Both are indispensable. Without verifiable data sources, the high-value AI agent economy simply cannot thrive.
