Zypher Network, a decentralized trust infrastructure provider for autonomous AI agents, announced close of a $7 million funding round to accelerate the development of its zero-knowledge (ZK) protocol stack and AI-specific rollup infrastructure. The round was co-led by UOB Venture and Signum Capital, with participation from HashKey Capital, Hong Leong Group, Cogitent Ventures, Catcher VC, Hydrogenesis Labs, DWF Venture, and other strategic investors.
As large language model (LLM)-based autonomous agents gain momentum through platforms such as Nvidia Eureka and OpenAI Operator, the market for agent-driven ecosystems is projected to reach $250–350 billion by 2035, with transformative potential across the broader $10 trillion “as-a-service” sector. This shift has heightened the urgency for standardized, verifiable mechanisms to ensure trust, reliability, and accountability in AI agent behavior—paralleling the historical rise of SSL as a foundational security layer for the internet.
Zypher Network addresses this need through its open-source, zero-knowledge protocol suite, designed to certify agent integrity, transparency, and data privacy. Its flagship product, Proof of Prompt, is a zkTLS-inspired protocol that enables public verification of system prompts without revealing sensitive inputs or outputs. The solution is delivered via a RESTful API, making it accessible to developers and enterprises integrating agent-based automation across domains such as legal operations, customer support, robotics, and financial services. For end-users, Zypher also offers an AI security browser, enabling real-time detection of potentially malicious agentic behavior.
The API layer is powered by Zytron, Zypher’s dedicated AI rollup infrastructure, whose first production instance operates as a Layer 2 on BNB Chain, compatible with RISC-V architecture. Zytron also supports Proof Mining, a decentralized prover system based on Proof of Verifiable Work, facilitating scalable, distributed ZK proof computation and verification.
“We are excited about Zypher’s “proof of prompts” distributed solution and the committed team behind. We foresee Zytron will be an important building block to embed trust in the AI applications out there.” – YY, Managing Partner, Signum Capital
The newly raised capital will be allocated toward team expansion, infrastructure scaling, and the launch of incentive-driven initiatives aimed at broadening Zypher’s developer and user ecosystem. To date, Zypher has engaged over one million on-chain participants through its community campaigns and ecosystem programs. Its trust layer is integrated with a wide array of leading protocols—including Eliza OS, io.Net, Nexus, Risc Zero, Eigen Layer, Particle Network, Fermah, Polyhedra, and ZeroBase—enhancing interoperability and improving the developer experience.
In the coming months, Zypher will roll out a large-scale Social & Proof Mining campaign designed to incentivize decentralized agent verification, with early participation from key agent partners across its network.
“Our trust layer protocol is redefining what’s possible in agent verification. With this funding, we’re accelerating the rollout of scalable ZK infrastructure that ensures trust without sacrificing privacy. We’re proud to be building this with our incredible ecosystem partners, each playing a critical role in shaping a more transparent, verifiable future for AI.” – Giv Zypher CEO

With accolades from prestigious organizations—including the Michelin Guide and the Forchettiere Awards—Cuculia has firmly established itself as one of the city’s most sought-after restaurants, attracting both local connoisseurs and international food lovers alike.
Led by Chef Oliver Betancourt and his wife Roberta Del Prete, who serves as manager, maître d’, and sommelier, Cuculia delivers an extraordinary dining experience that celebrates creativity, quality, and sustainability. While the restaurant offers a wide range of expertly crafted dishes rooted in Italian tradition, it has also earned international recognition for its exceptional vegetarian and vegan offerings.
Global Recognition in the WE’RE SMART® GREEN GUIDE
Cuculia is proud to be ranked 10th in Italy and 94th worldwide for its vegetarian and vegan cuisine by the WE’RE SMART® GREEN GUIDE, the leading international guide for sustainable, plant-forward gastronomy. This recognition places Cuculia among the top restaurants globally for its excellence in plant-based cuisine—an especially notable achievement in a region known for its meat-centric culinary traditions.
It’s important to note that while Cuculia’s vegetarian and vegan menus have garnered critical acclaim, they are just one facet of a broader offering. The restaurant’s menu encompasses a full spectrum of refined dishes, marrying the richness of traditional Italian flavors with contemporary techniques and seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
A Prestigious Michelin Recognition
Since 2023, Cuculia Ristorante has been recognized by the Michelin Guide—a globally respected symbol of culinary excellence.

The Forchettiere Award: Best Fine Dining in Florence/Tuscany
Cuculia was also recently honored with the Forchettiere Award for Best Fine Dining in Florence/Tuscany. Voted by the public, this prestigious accolade further cements Cuculia’s role as a leader in the region’s culinary landscape. The award is a testament not only to the restaurant’s refined plant-forward offerings but also to its broader commitment to culinary excellence.
A Bold and Balanced Culinary Vision
In a city steeped in culinary tradition, Cuculia stands out for its bold, plant-forward menus that coexist seamlessly with more traditional Italian offerings. While its vegetarian and vegan tasting menus showcase the artistry and innovation of Chef Betancourt, diners can also enjoy a variety of other dishes that reflect the richness and diversity of Italian cuisine.
