Cintara Partners with Secret AI to Bring Privacy-Preserving AI to the Blockchain
Cintara, the first blockchain operating system designed specifically for autonomous AI agents, has announced a strategic partnership with Secret AI, a pioneer in privacy-preserving computation. The collaboration integrates Secret AI’s encrypted AI framework directly into Cintara’s agentic blockchain infrastructure, enabling secure, private, and verifiable agent-to-agent interactions on-chain.
Unlocking Regulated Use Cases for Developers and Enterprises
With Secret AI embedded into the Cintara stack, developers and enterprises can now deploy autonomous agents capable of processing sensitive data while remaining compliant with global privacy standards. This makes Cintara a compelling choice for sectors like finance, healthcare, and regulated digital services. Secret AI’s encrypted inference capabilities ensure that data remains protected throughout execution, empowering privacy-first applications in critical domains.
Executive Perspectives
“This partnership helps us bring privacy-preserving AI agents to life,” said Subodh Shetty, CTO of Cintara. “Secret AI adds a critical layer of confidentiality to how Cintara agents operate and share data on-chain, essential as we move towards real-world, regulated use cases.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with Cintara and bring our privacy-preserving AI technology to a revolutionary blockchain environment,” said Alex Zaidelson, CEO of SCRT Labs. “Their vision of AI-native infrastructure aligns closely with our approach to trust, safety, and confidential computing. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with on-chain AI.”
Technical Integration and Capabilities
Secret AI leverages trusted execution environments (TEE) and Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) to enable confidential AI computation. By incorporating these technologies, Cintara opens new use cases in areas such as secure health diagnostics, private financial automation, and AI assistants that manage personal data with verifiable integrity.
The collaboration goes further with a deep technical integration into the Secret Network ecosystem. Notable features include:
- Confidential AI by Default: Cintara’s smart-contract-based LLM computations will execute within Secret Network’s TEE-powered Secret Virtual Machines (VMs). This ensures user prompts and on-chain data remain fully encrypted and verifiably sealed, removing the risk of exposure to third-party AI providers.
- Verifiable Compute Marketplace: As part of its decentralized compute marketplace, Cintara will offer developers the ability to select between standard nodes and Secret-powered TEE nodes. Each job run in a Secret VM will produce a cryptographic attestation confirming the exact code and model executed—an essential capability for trustless AI agents and sensitive enterprise use cases.
Scalable Privacy and Verifiable Execution
By integrating Secret AI, Cintara can now run LLM analytics across GPU workers housed in hardware-isolated enclaves. These environments ensure that both user data and on-chain inputs remain encrypted during processing, producing signed, tamper-proof results. The Secret VM further extends TEE protection to smart contract execution, enabling the development of privacy-first applications and confidential agents within the Cintara compute market.
Driving Adoption with Enterprise-Grade Privacy
Together, Cintara and Secret AI are delivering enhanced security, regulatory compliance, and developer confidence—laying the groundwork for broader adoption and new monetization paths. This partnership brings privacy-preserving AI to the forefront of blockchain innovation, positioning both platforms at the heart of next-generation digital infrastructure.
