Introducing Auto Secret Agent

Autonomys is pleased to announce Auto Secret Agent, a proof-of-concept built alongside Secret Network, that combines the permanent, auditable memory provided by Autonomys’ DSN with Secret’s cryptographically verifiable, TEE-based computation to ensure complete on-chain AI agent accountability.

Verifiable Auto Agent Execution

Autonomys Agents (Auto Agents) use Autonomys’ distributed storage network (DSN) — accessible via the Auto Drive API — to permanently archive their memory, including reasoning chains, decisions, and input/output interactions.

Auto Secret Agent runs an Autonomys Agent inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) — leveraging confidential SecretVMs based on Intel TDX technology and the Secret AI SDK — to provide a trusted off-chain compute context for sensitive tasks, showcasing how third-party layers can interoperate with Autonomys’ composable architecture.

The agent’s attestation can be accessed via its virtual machine, enabling users to independently verify the integrity of the SecretVM and the provenance of the agent’s source code. The result is greater user confidence in agent outputs for trust-critical use cases, while preserving transparency and auditability through on-chain memory.

Build an Auto Secret Agent

Interested in building your own verifiable on-chain Auto Agent that:

• is censorship-resistant and cryptographically verifiable,
• can store, retrieve, and learn from permanent memory across workflows, and
• can prove behavior at runtime using TEE attestations?

Get started with the Auto Agents Framework!

“Auto Secret Agent exemplifies the power of confidential computing in the AI era — giving users cryptographic proof that agents behave as intended, without compromising sensitive data. This is exactly the kind of innovation we envisioned when building our secure compute layer: empowering transparency, accountability, and privacy all at once.” Lisa Loud, Executive Director of Secret Foundation

“Auto Secret Agent offers a glimpse into the future of decentralized intelligence. By combining Autonomys’ DSN and Auto Agent Framework with Secret’s confidential execution layer, this marks one of the first real-world deployable applications of verified agentic behavior. We’re excited to see what the ecosystem begins to build as we continue laying the groundwork for a new class of on-chain agents that can act independently, provably, and without compromising user safety or privacy.” Amik Ahmad, Head of Product at Autonomys

About Secret Network

Secret Network is the first Layer-1 blockchain with privacy-preserving Turing-complete smart contracts. Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), it enables developers to build dApps that are encrypted by default, as well as verifiable and confidential use cases for AI, while also offering selective disclosure tools such as viewing keys and permit technology for compliance and auditability. Secret Network’s confidential computing layer is interoperable with 130+ blockchain networks, including Cosmos, Ethereum and Solana.
