Solidus AI Tech, a leader in decentralized AI infrastructure, and Secret Network, the first blockchain with native confidential computing, have announced a strategic partnership to advance privacy-preserving AI solutions. Launched on July 2, 2025, in Los Angeles, this collaboration integrates Secret Network’s secure infrastructure into Solidus AI Tech’s platform, enabling developers to build and deploy AI models with enhanced data protection.
Solidus AI Tech partners with Secret Network for confidential AI tools.
SecretAI – DeepSeek R1 integrated into Solidus’s AI model library.
SecretVM integration explored for secure AI agent deployment.
Leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for data privacy.
Focuses on ethical AI, data protection, and transparent infrastructure.
Joint marketing and developer support planned for 2025 rollout.
The partnership introduces Secret Network’s privacy-preserving large language model, SecretAI – DeepSeek R1, into Solidus AI Tech’s foundation AI model library. This model ensures confidential inference, keeping user inputs hidden from infrastructure providers and model hosts. The integration marks a significant step toward secure AI deployment, addressing growing concerns about data privacy in AI applications.
“This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to building secure and decentralized AI infrastructure,” said John Mendez of Solidus AI Tech. “Confidential computing is an important layer for developers and users alike, and we’re excited to work with Secret Network to provide the tools people need.”
The collaboration explores integrating SecretVM, Secret Network’s virtual machine for confidential computing, into Solidus AI Tech’s platform as a dedicated AI app. This would allow developers to deploy AI agents in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), ensuring data security and cryptographic verifiability throughout an application’s lifecycle. Discussions are also underway to incorporate a confidential deployment option within Solidus’s Agent Forge interface, enabling users to select SecretVM as their execution environment.
Lisa Loud, Executive Director of the Secret Network Foundation, stated, “We see this collaboration as an important step in advancing privacy and trust in AI. By working with Solidus AI Tech, we’re making confidential computing more accessible to developers who are building the next generation of intelligent systems.”
Both teams are developing a knowledge-based AI agent trained on Secret Network documentation to assist developers. This agent, combined with joint marketing and outreach efforts, aims to simplify adoption and enhance developer experience. Sandbox testing and follow-up meetings are planned to ensure seamless integration and scalability.
Built on Solidus AI Tech’s eco-friendly High-Performance Computing (HPC) data center in Europe and Secret Network’s TEE-powered blockchain, the partnership aligns with a shared vision of ethical AI deployment. With over 7,500 customers and €19 billion in payroll managed, Solidus AI Tech’s platform, powered by the $AITECH token, supports industries like healthcare and finance. Secret Network’s privacy-first infrastructure complements this by ensuring data security, making this collaboration a cornerstone for secure, decentralized AI innovation.
Solidus AI Tech is an AI infrastructure provider offering GPU-based compute services and application hosting. Its platform includes an AI agent marketplace, model deployment tools, and tokenized access to AI resources for developers across both Web3 and traditional industries.
Secret Network is the first blockchain with native support for confidential computation. Built on Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), it enables private and verifiable execution of smart contracts and AI models. SecretVM and SecretAI provide the infrastructure for developers to build secure and trusted AI systems.
