Privacy Agent Workshop
Join us for an exclusive session with Zooko Wilcox, founder of Zcash, as he dives deep into building intelligent agents with privacy as the core design principle.
In this event, Zooko will walk through the philosophy and practical techniques behind creating agents that respect user sovereignty, minimize data leakage, and operate securely in adversarial environments. Drawing from his experience pioneering privacy-preserving technologies, you’ll learn how cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and decentralized systems can be applied to modern agent design.
Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or builder interested in AI agents, blockchain, or secure systems, this session will give you actionable insights into designing agents that are not only powerful but trustworthy by default.
In this workshop, we’ll be creating Nyx, the first AI agent that Zcash will use to further enhance its infrastructure.
What you’ll learn:
Why privacy-first design matters for autonomous agents
Core principles behind Zcash and how they apply to agent systems
Techniques for building agents that protect user data
Real-world examples of privacy-preserving agent architectures
Come learn how the future of agents can be open, intelligent, and private from one of the pioneers who helped make digital privacy possible.
