zCloak AI recently released its white paper and officially launched, building a new generation of trust infrastructure for the AI-native economy, directly addressing the trust gap in identity, claims, privacy, and discovery in the AI era. Its core ATP protocol reshapes trusted interactions with "four pillars": clarifying responsible parties through AI-ID and human-readable AI-Name; achieving verifiable claims with digital signatures and third-party notarization; completing compliance verification without disclosing privacy using zero-knowledge proofs and identity-based encryption; and putting transactions, contracts, and reputation records on-chain to form a traceable, tamper-proof audit trail.At the same time, the ATP Data Plane built on ICP provides a machine-native, structured data foundation that supports efficient semantic search and collaboration for AI Agents, bridging the "discovery gap." Surrounding Keychain, AgentPages, and MCP Server, zCloak AI makes complex cryptography invisible, promoting the automated closed loop of AI Agents from discovery, negotiation to transaction, accelerating the realization of a trusted AI economy.

According to GlobeNewswire, Intercont (Cayman) Limited (NASDAQ: NCT) announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire a minority stake of less than 50% in Singapore's Web3 technology company Starks Network Ltd, and to jointly promote the development of the zCloakNetwork project, officially advancing the layout of on-chain digital asset infrastructure.The zCloak Network's business covers AI digital identity, enterprise-level self-custody wallets, stablecoin payments, and AI encryption payment technology, and has received investments from institutions such as Coinbase Ventures.

It uses Passkey biometric technology (facial recognition or fingerprint) to replace traditional mnemonic phrases, providing the highest level of security in the industry and fundamentally eliminating the risk of hacker software stealing private keys and phishing attacks.Dr. Zhang, the founder of zCloak, stated: "By embedding the Passkey wallet into mainstream AI applications, we are removing the last barrier for ordinary users to access blockchain technology, making Web3 as simple as using social media. In the future, users will be able to complete the vast majority of crypto operations through conversations within these AI applications."

ChainCatcher news, zCloak Network announced the launch of a multi-signature wallet system based on the x402 protocol. This system enables seamless collaboration between AI agents and humans in on-chain asset operations, marking the first time AI can participate as a signatory in real-world x402 protocol asset transfers.In the zCloak.Money multi-signature platform, AI agents can act as independent signatories, autonomously initiating USDC payment requests based on the x402 protocol. After the AI completes a signature compliant with the EIP-3009 specification on the server side, the relevant transaction will be pushed to the pending list of human collaborators with the "x402" identifier. After manual review and completion of a second signature, the payment process is completed.This technological breakthrough provides a solution for collaborative operations between AI and humans in the management of crypto assets. In the future, AI can assist in handling various on-chain stablecoin payment scenarios, including computing resource procurement, API call settlements, and data service payments, enhancing the efficiency and automation of enterprise resource allocation.zCloak.Money is a fully on-chain self-custody enterprise multi-signature wallet developed by zCloak Network, dedicated to providing institutional users with secure, transparent, and auditable on-chain asset management solutions.
