Chainlink and Mind Network introduce a new FHE privacy bridge using Chainlink CCIP to support encrypted cross-chain messaging.
Chainlink and Mind Network have advanced their partnership with the launch of an FHE privacy bridge powered by Chainlink CCIP. This tool offers encrypted cross-chain messaging without revealing sensitive information. The development represents a quantum leap from ecosystem cooperation to a greater integration at the infrastructure level to reinforce the foundations of privacy for Web3.
Partnership Expands with Technical and Market Developments
This collaboration combines a key thought that ZKPs enhance verifiability, and FHE enables confident computing. Reports the way both teams used this shared insight to inform their engineering roadmap. Moreover, Chainlink (LINK) was trading at just under $12.28 on December 2nd, 2025, after falling below $12 the day before. Markets responded to news of Grayscale converting its Chainlink Trust into a spot ETF, which began trading on December 2.
From Build to FHE.
From joining Build to developing the FHE Bridge on CCIP, our journey with @chainlink has evolved into a deep technical integration, unlocking the future of crypto privacy together. 🤝
Key Milestones:
🔹 Build & Claim: Chainlink Rewards Season 1 is now live.…— Mind Network (@mindnetwork_xyz) December 2, 2025
The strategic alignment was the initial basis of the partnership. When Mind Network raised a $2.5 million seed round, Chainlink was already classified as one of the essential strategic partnerships. Both these projects focused on enhancing data privacy and network security for Web3. This alignment became official in January 2023 when Mind Network joined the Chainlink Build program.

Through Build, Mind Network was able to get technical guidance and access to a broader ecosystem. It also allocated 3% of its token supply to the service providers of Chainlink. This pledge is now being put into form by Chainlink Rewards Season 1, in which eligible LINK stakers can claim the token of Mind Network. Industry blogs say this helps Chainlink’s network security while bringing more integration from Mind Network.
FHE Bridge Pushes Web3 Toward an HTTPZ Standard
The partnership soon transferred from ecosystem building to core engineering. Analysts have frequently referred to privacy as controlled disclosure. FHE supports this principle by supporting encryption in transit, at rest, and in computation. This is in line with work towards having an equivalent of the HTTPZ framework for the Zero-Trust model in Web3.
In May 2024, Mind Network launched its FHE Bridge, developed with the help of Chainlink CCIP. Technical documents are written on two basic layers. The first is quantum-resistant FHE encryption that is based on lattice cryptography, enabling computation on encrypted data. The second is CCIP, which offers secure interoperability and messaging. Together, they address cross-chain security and computational privacy.
MindSAP (stealth protocol) is used to encrypt user intent and routing data. Validation then takes place without revealing the underlying information. CCIP then transfers instructions and assets between chains. This transition indicates a move to a higher level of technical stack for encrypted cross-chain activity.
Experts See Key Applications for AI and Institutional Liquidity
Experts are seeing that Agentic AI floats on private computation. AI agents require the capability to reason over encrypted data while continuing to be competitive. FHE provides the level of confidential thinking, and CCIP helps secure cross-chain action. This combination constitutes a prototype to build confidential AI systems that need to be interoperable.
This model presents Mind Network as the “confidential brain” and Chainlink as the “secure nervous system.” It may support micropayment protocols, institutional RWA transactions, in addition to sensitive automated workflows. Because the risks associated with liquidation are often related to the exposure of strategic positions, encrypted cross-chain automation could minimise risks during volatile periods in the markets.
Mind Network is continuing to grow the infrastructure of FHE with investors such as Binance Labs, Hashkey, Animoca Brands, and Chainlink. With two Ethereum Foundation grants, the objective of the project is to create a Zero-Trust Internet Protocol for encrypted AI and Web3 data processing. As markets become increasingly interconnected, encrypted cross-chain systems may be useful in mitigating the risks associated with liquidation by protecting important financial information and automated strategies.
