Core Products of Zero1 Labs
Zero1 Labs offers three primary products:
- Zero Construct Programme (ZCP)
- Keymaker Platform
- Cypher DeAI Layer
Zero Construct Programme (ZCP)
ZCP supports developers building decentralized applications (dApps) on the Zero1 Labs ecosystem. Beyond financial grants, ZCP provides dApp development toolkits, mentorship, code audits, and access to Zero1 Labs’ partner network. The platform boasts collaborations with prominent Web2 companies and Web3 AI projects, including Google, Aethir, Tempo, Oasis, Ocean, and Netmind.

Keymaker Platform
The Keymaker Platform enables developers to contribute source code and AI development tools. Similar to an app store, it allows developers to publish and sell algorithms, APIs, and AI toolkits to other developers. Keymaker aims to accelerate Zero1 Labs’ network growth, enhance decentralization by diversifying AI development contributions beyond the core team, and create revenue streams for contributing developers while increasing the utility of the DEAI token. All contributed tools undergo vetting by the Zero1 Labs team.

Cypher DeAI Layer
The Cypher DeAI Layer allows users to deploy appchains and build dApp ecosystems on those chains. Compared to Bittensor’s subnet model, appchain deployment is significantly more affordable. Users can deploy an appchain with customizable consensus mechanisms and native tokens by staking approximately $10 worth of DEAI tokens, mirroring Saga’s model. This contrasts with Bittensor, where launching a subnet requires staking at least $8 million.
Furthermore, Zero1 Labs’ infrastructure leverages FHE, a form of encryption that allows computations on encrypted data without decryption. Despite its higher cost, FHE enhances security by ensuring data remains encrypted during processing, protecting user information even in the event of a system breach.
