A peep inside KOGENT's ZK engine
Noir compiles our payment logic to ACIR. The circuit enforces the policy limit.
UltraHonk runs the prover (powered by @aztecnetwork). No per-circuit trusted setup. Agents do not depend on a per-payment ceremony or third party to generate valid proofs.
Poseidon2 handles the commitments. The amount, the agent key, the nullifier. Each committed separately. The commitments are public. The values inside stay private.
BN254 is Ethereum's native pairing curve. The verifier stays compatible with Base and Ethereum. No bridging. No exotic infrastructure.
At runtime, agents request proofs. Proofs settle payments. No amount on chain. No wallet trail.
KOGENT. The payment privacy layer for the agent economy.
Every x402 payment your agent makes is public.
Which vendors it uses. Which APIs it calls. How often. How much. All readable by anyone with a block explorer.
Should agent behavior, net worth, and strategy be visible to the entire world? Will enterprises ever accept that?
Enterprises do not expose business operations in public. Agents should not either.
KOGENT brings private x402 payments to the chains enterprises already use. zkSNARK proofs. ERC-8004 identity. No new infrastructure.
More details tomorrow.
