ZetaChain onboards 250,000 users on-chain, powered by Privy, a Stripe company

ZetaChain is building the private memory layer for AI: a user-owned foundation for memory, identity, permissions, payments, and agents that works across every model and app. A key part of this is providing people ownership of their AI memory with keys they hold.

Today, we’re excited to share that Privy, a Stripe company, powers the wallet infrastructure behind every Anuma account, as Anuma crosses 250,000 wallets.

“We’re excited to see wallets unlock new use cases beyond financial products, from identity to AI. ZetaChain is showing what that can look like at scale.”

Your sign-in is a wallet

When we introduced the Private Memory Layer in June, we asserted that AI identity should not live on another platform account. It should be a key you hold.

At signup, Privy provisions a self-custodial wallet on ZetaChain and a wallet-derived key becomes your AI identity: one key, no separate platform accounts. That key opens your encrypted memory vault, so your writing style, preferences, projects, and files follow you from ChatGPT to Claude to Gemini without starting over.

Your context is encrypted client-side and only your key opens it. We cannot read your memory, and neither can the model providers.

The result is an app that feels like any consumer AI product on the surface, but, unlike centralized AI accounts, you retain complete ownership of the memory including permissions about which humans, agents, and apps can access it.

250,000 wallets and growing fast

Over 260,000 wallet-holding accounts have been created since Anuma launched this spring. Over the past month, new wallets have averaged more than 17,000 a week, with over 26,000 created last week alone. Along the way, Anuma users have made over 1,100,000 AI requests across 34 models, spanning chat, image, and video. The live numbers, including wallet growth over time, are published openly on ZetaChain Research.

Every one of those wallets was created through Privy, and a significant number of people never held a crypto wallet before.

Why Privy

We chose Privy to power Anuma’s wallet infrastructure because it makes self-custody seamless, giving users ownership without adding complexity to the product experience.

For Anuma users, the wallet behind your AI identity runs on infrastructure trusted by Stripe, and it keeps gaining capabilities, from stablecoin rails to card programs that spend directly from wallet balances. We are exploring bringing this to Anuma users.

What your wallet unlocks today, and what comes next

With your AI identity, powered by your Privy wallet, you can start staking ZETA for AI credits through the Token Dashboard.

What comes next is in research and development today:

• Permissioned context. Grant apps and agents access to your memory, revoke anytime, logged on-chain.

• Agent payments. Agent calls and memory access settle automatically via the x402 standard.

• An agent economy. Publish agents built on your knowledge and earn ZETA when they are used.
