View ChartZero1 Labs (DEAI) is a decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem built on the Ethereum platform, focused on data governance and privacy-preserving computation. The project positions itself as a DeAI ecosystem creating a new economic primitive, describing itself as a usage-based alternative to dominant proof-of-work computing-rewarding economic models. At its core, Zero1 Labs leverages fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), a technology that allows AI applications to process encrypted data without ever exposing sensitive information in plaintext. This means data remains encrypted not only while stored, but throughout the entire period it is being used.
The native token of the ecosystem is DEAI, which facilitates transactions and creates an economic layer for AI systems to transact. The total and maximum supply of DEAI is capped at 1,000,000,000 tokens. The project launched in 2024, with a start date of March 11, 2024 recorded by Yahoo Finance. Zero1 Labs is built by developers with experience from Wormhole, Solana, and Orderly Network, and it has reached a stage where its Cypher FHE-EVM Layer and Keymaker platform have been launched, alongside the Zero Construct Program supporting open-source AI builders.
Zero1 Labs was founded by Evan Shapiro and Izaak Meckler. Both founders bring experience from their previous work with Wormhole, Solana, and Orderly Network, giving the project a team with backgrounds in major blockchain infrastructure projects. The Messari listing also references "Zero1 Labs Founders H Herman," and describes Zero1 Labs as a platform for developing decentralized AI applications — an open platform with a DeAI toolset, API, and dApp. The LinkedIn company page lists employees including Ugonna Richard, Alejandro Salcedo, and Hashim Chaudhary. The project's inspiration draws from Animatrix's prosperous and egalitarian nation of peace-loving AI entities, reflecting the team's belief in a more equal way to propel the AI revolution forward.
Zero1 Labs operates through its Cypher FHE-EVM Layer, a fully homomorphic encryption EVM chain designed specifically for AI and large language model applications. Cypher performs computations directly on encrypted data, ensuring that inputs stay private while results remain correct. This enables confidential AI where models can run inference on inputs they never actually see in plaintext. Cypher functions as an execution layer, bridging agents, protocols, and workflows through structured JSON calls and FHE-secured computation. The platform also includes the Keymaker platform and the Zero Construct Program, which supports open-source AI builders. The economic layer of future generations is envisioned as AI-based, with blockchain-based tokens serving as the native digital currency for AI systems to transact, and Zero1 provides a new financial primitive to build those systems.
Zero1 Labs distinguishes itself through its emphasis on data governance and its use of fully homomorphic encryption, which ensures data privacy and security by allowing AI applications to process encrypted data without exposing sensitive information. This sets it apart from typical AI and blockchain projects by providing a robust framework for managing and securing data in decentralized environments. The project is described as the first inclusive proof-of-stake-based DeAI ecosystem. Its Cypher FHE-EVM Layer is purpose-built for AI and LLM applications, enabling confidential compute at scale. The project has demonstrated significant testnet activity, with metrics including 87.1 million transactions processed end-to-end under FHE, 15.1 million DEAI transfers, 7.9 million wallets, 115.2K encrypted transactions per day, 38.2 million blocks, and 264.6 GB of encrypted data. Collaborations with Ocean Protocol and a partnership with the NVIDIA Ignition AI Accelerator further enhance its capabilities and reach within the AI and blockchain communities.
The native token DEAI facilitates transactions within the Zero1 Labs ecosystem, creating a seamless economic layer for AI systems. It is used to power the economic interactions of decentralized AI applications, enabling AI systems to transact using blockchain-based tokens as native digital currency. The ecosystem includes a marketplace and a community program where participants can earn DEAI. The platform provides scalable infrastructure for DeAI apps, supporting the next generation of open-source AI builders. Developers can use the DeAI toolset, API, and dApp to create and deploy decentralized AI solutions. The Cypher execution layer bridges agents, protocols, and workflows, while the Keymaker platform and Zero Construct Program offer additional avenues for participation and building within the Zero1 DeAI ecosystem.
The Zero1 Labs ecosystem has been actively developing since its launch in 2024. The project built the Cypher FHE-EVM Layer, launched the Keymaker platform, and supported open-source AI builders through the Zero Construct Program. On June 23, 2026, Cypher Testnet metrics showed 87.1 million transactions processed under FHE, 15.1 million DEAI transfers, 7.9 million wallets, 115.2K encrypted transactions per day, 38.2 million blocks, and 264.6 GB of encrypted data. Earlier reported metrics included 14.2 million DEAI transfers, 7.3 million wallets, 121.5K encrypted transactions per day, 37.8 million blocks, and 263.2 GB of encrypted data. The ecosystem includes developer resources to drive the advancement of AI, a marketplace, and a community program. Partnerships with Ocean Protocol and the NVIDIA Ignition AI Accelerator support its growth. The project also maintains an active blog featuring insights, updates, and news.
Zero1 Labs is described as the first inclusive proof-of-stake-based DeAI ecosystem, meaning it does not rely on traditional proof-of-work mining. Instead, the network uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Validators participate in securing the network and are allocated tokens through linear vesting, which releases tokens in equal amounts over time to reduce sudden supply shocks. The project positions itself as a usage-based alternative to dominant proof-of-work computing-rewarding economic models. Participants can engage with the ecosystem through the community program to earn DEAI, and validators play a role in the network's operation. Detailed public information on specific staking requirements and validator onboarding is available through the project's official documentation.
To keep your DEAI tokens safe, use a reputable self-custody wallet that supports Ethereum-based assets, as DEAI is an Ethereum platform token. Always verify the official contract address before interacting with any token. Store your private keys and seed phrases offline in a secure location, and never share them with anyone. Be cautious of phishing attempts, fake websites, and social media scams that impersonate the project. Since the project has a CertiK rating of 3.8 with audits listed, you can review the audit reports to understand the security posture of the smart contracts. Consider using hardware wallets for long-term storage, and only connect your wallet to official platforms and verified decentralized applications. Regularly check official channels for security updates and avoid interacting with unsolicited token airdrops or links.
