SingularityNET and Privado ID Partner to Establish Decentralized AI Agent Trust Registry

[PRESS RELEASE – Zug, Switzerland, March 4th, 2025]

SingularityNET, a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, has announced a strategic technical partnership with Privado ID (formerly Polygon ID) to embed trust within the decentralized AI Agent ecosystem. To achieve this objective, SingularityNET, ASI and PrivadoID will launch the first decentralized AI Agent Trust Registry and the issuance of AI Agent Decentralized Identifiers (DID). Through integrating Privado ID’s privacy-preserving decentralized identity technology with SingularityNET’s AI expertise and the upcoming ASI Innovation Stack, the partners will develop verifiable onchain attestations and credentials for AI agents to ensure trust and safety. These credentials will verify critical information about AI Agents, including their models, creators, audit status, and more, allowing users and other AI Agents to interact in a secure, trusted, and transparent environment.

The AI Agent Trust Registry marks a significant advancement in decentralized AI, empowering developers to deploy AI Agents with provable identities and attributes. Leveraging decentralized identifiers (DIDs) from Privado ID and verifiable credentials secured by zero-knowledge proofs, a transparent communication layer will be explored for integration within ASI:Create and the broader ASI Innovation Stack. Users can verify an Agent’s authenticity, safety, and fairness, fostering a secure and interoperable AI network.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of ASI and SingularityNET, stated: “Our future won’t be defined solely by how AI communicates with humans, but by how AI systems interact seamlessly among themselves. By integrating Privado ID’s decentralized, privacy-first credentials into ASI:Create, we’re not just ensuring trust; we’re paving the way for a robust, autonomous network of AI agents.”

Sebastian Rodriguez, CPO of Privado ID and Former VP of Product at Polygon, added: “I’m excited about the collaboration between Privado ID and SingularityNET as it addresses the essential need for verifiable identities in the agent-to-agent economy. Assigning unique, verifiable identities to AI agents ensures accountability and trust in their interactions and aligns with the ASI Innovation Stack’s vision of an open ecosystem by promoting interoperability and reducing reliance on centralized authorities.”

The rollout of the AI Agent Trust Registry and the testing of Privado ID’s identity infrastructure will proceed in phases: an initial pilot integrating Privado ID credentials with the AIRIS AI Agent, followed by a scalable registry validating complex attributes like authenticity and safety using privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proofs, and eventually exploring self-governance concepts for AI Agents. This phased approach ensures both robust verification and complete data privacy, providing a secure foundation for long-term integration into the ASI roadmap. This initiative has already commenced and in collaboration with SingularityNET, ASI and Privado ID the teams will provide further updates as milestones are reached.

A cornerstone of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance – comprising SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, Ocean Protocol, and CUDOS – this partnership will advance ASI’s goal of accelerating decentralized Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI).  As the initiative progresses, SingularityNET and Privado ID aim to transform digital trust, creating a resilient, interoperable AI network where both human and machine intelligences thrive.
