Private AI Engine

Private AI Engine

Overview

The Private AI Engine is zkShine’s privacy-preserving artificial intelligence framework. It enables AI models to perform inference, training, and analytics on encrypted data using zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that no private data, model weights, or intermediate outputs are ever exposed.

This module integrates zkML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning) into Solana, turning private computation into verifiable on-chain proofs.

Core Capabilities

  • Confidential Inference Execution Execute AI models on private data (e.g., financial metrics, user profiles) where only the result is revealed, not the data itself. Example: Proving that a risk score > 700 without showing the dataset.

  • zkML Proof Verification on Solana Each inference task generates a cryptographic proof validated through a Solana program. This provides verifiable correctness of AI outputs while maintaining confidentiality.

  • Encrypted Dataset & Model Handling All AI inputs, parameters, and weights are encrypted during runtime, ensuring that neither nodes nor operators can view sensitive information.

  • Private AI-as-a-Service (zkAIaaS) Developers and enterprises can deploy AI workloads to zkShine Compute Nodes for private execution, billed via $ZKSHN tokens.

Architecture

Encrypted Data → zkAI Engine → Proof Generation → On-Chain Verification

Flow Example:

  1. User submits encrypted dataset and model parameters.

  2. zkShine executes the AI model privately inside zkCompute nodes.

  3. The engine produces a ZK proof of inference correctness.

  4. Solana validates the proof and records the result.

Use Cases

  • Private DeFi risk scoring

  • zk-powered credit and identity analytics

  • Confidential medical or biometric AI

  • Encrypted data marketplaces

  • zkVerified AI results for on-chain automation
