Why Trust Cryptonews
SingularityNET, a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, has announced a strategic technical partnership with Privado ID (formerly Polygon ID) to launch the first decentralized AI Agent Trust Registry.
Per the press release, SingularityNET will integrate Privado ID’s privacy-focused technology to enable the issuance of on-chain decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials for AI Agents.
This trust registry will be a communication layer for users to verify an AI Agent’s safety and fairness through provable claims. More precisely, the teams will develop verifiable onchain attestations and credentials for AI agents, which will verify critical information, such as their models, creators, audit status, and more.
In turn, this move will increase transparency and trust across ASI: Create and other ASI Innovation Stack components, the partners said.
Moreover, the announcement explained that the AI Agent Trust Registry allows developers across various verticals to issue and verify AI Agent credentials. This means that the AI Agents they deploy will have provable identities and attributes.
Furthermore, the partners will “explore” integrating a transparent communication layer within ASI:Create and the broader ASI Innovation Stack by utilizing DIDs from Privado ID and zero-knowledge proofs-secured, verifiable credentials.
Sebastian Rodriguez, CPO of Privado ID and Former VP of Product at Polygon, commented that the collaboration between Privado ID and SingularityNET addresses the crucial need for verifiable identities in the agent-to-agent economy.
“Assigning unique, verifiable identities to AI agents ensures accountability and trust in their interactions and aligns with the ASI Innovation Stack’s vision of an open ecosystem by promoting interoperability and reducing reliance on centralized authorities,” Rodriguez stated.

Four Phases of Rollout
The announcement noted that this partnership is in the early stages. However, in the future, a decentralized trust registry could become the foundation of a new generation of digital trust, it said.
Both human and machine intelligences could “operate on a reliable platform, transforming how complex decisions are made and creating a resilient, interoperable AI network.”
In the meantime, the rollout of the AI Agent Trust Registry and the testing of Privado ID’s identity infrastructure will happen in phases. Phase 0 is this announcement, which aims to build awareness and align the strategic vision.
Phase 1 includes an initial pilot integrating Privado ID credentials with the AIRIS AI Agent. Then, Phase 2 will see the deployment of a scalable, decentralized AI Agent Trust Registry capable of validating complex attributes such as authenticity and safety using privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proofs.
Finally, Phase 3 will explore proof-of-concept solutions for AI Agent self-governance. The goal is to lay “the groundwork for long-term integration into the broader ASI Agent roadmap,” the blog post said.
According to the blog post, the verification capability will initially enable humans to request and validate the trustworthiness of AI Agents through familiar protocols. This will also ensure accountability across the network.
However, looking ahead, it added, AI systems will also autonomously collaborate, negotiate, and evolve based on mutual evidence-based trust.
Ben Goertzel, CEO of ASI and SingularityNET, commented that “our future won’t be defined solely by how AI communicates with humans, but by how AI systems interact seamlessly among themselves. By integrating Privado ID’s decentralized, privacy-first credentials into ASI:Create, we’re not just ensuring trust; we’re paving the way for a robust, autonomous network of AI agents.”
