Solidus AI Tech has announced a new strategic partnership with Secret Network to integrate confidential computing capabilities into its decentralized AI platform. This collaboration aims to help developers build and deploy AI models and tools that prioritize privacy, using Secret Network’s secure and verifiable infrastructure.
As an initial milestone, Solidus AI Tech has added Secret Network’s privacy-focused large language model, SecretAI – DeepSeek R1, to its foundation model library. This integration enables confidential inference, ensuring that user inputs remain protected from both infrastructure providers and model hosts. Solidus AI Tech’s development team will further evaluate the technical implementation in the coming weeks.
Looking ahead, the two teams plan to integrate SecretVM into Solidus AI Tech’s ecosystem as a dedicated AI application. This would allow developers to deploy agents in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), ensuring sensitive data stays secure throughout an AI agent’s lifecycle while also adding cryptographic verifiability to the code being run.
“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.”

Lisa Loud, Executive Director of the Secret Network Foundation, added, “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.”
In addition, the teams are exploring a confidential deployment option within Solidus AI Tech’s Agent Forge interface, which would allow users to select SecretVM as their secure execution environment when creating new AI agents. Plans also include building a knowledge-based agent trained on Secret Network’s documentation to better support developers, along with joint marketing and outreach as the integration moves forward.
By combining secure computing, decentralized AI, and transparent infrastructure, the partnership aims to set a new standard for ethical and privacy-first AI development. Both teams have committed to ongoing development planning, sandbox testing, and further collaboration in the weeks ahead.
