ShroudAI – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is ShroudAI in simple terms?
ShroudAI is a privacy-first AI platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. It lets people and organizations train, use, and share powerful AI models without exposing their data, thanks to Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Federated Learning, and encrypted data vaults. Think of it as AI that works for you, not on you.
What makes ShroudAI different from other AI projects?
Most AI projects collect your data to get smarter — ShroudAI doesn’t even need to see your data. It’s powered by:
zkML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning) — proving models were trained properly, without revealing data.
Federated AI — AI training across devices or networks without centralizing anything.
zkStorage Vaults — decentralized, encrypted data vaults that only you control.
Privacy Tools — like AI voice/face anonymizers, all built with viral and safe usage in mind.
What can I actually do with ShroudAI?
Train AI models without exposing your data
Use tools like face/voice anonymizers, private AI chat, or smart privacy filters
Earn tokens by contributing private compute, zk proofs, or model data
Deploy AI apps that are privacy-compliant by default
Monetize encrypted datasets or AI models via zkVaults
Is ShroudAI only for developers and AI researchers?
Not at all! While ShroudAI is built with deep tech, it offers tools anyone can use, like:
WhisperCloak – AI voice anonymizer
ShroudMyFace – video face blurring using AI
AnonGPT – chat privately with AI without sharing your identity
VaultDrop – secure file-sharing and encrypted collaboration It’s privacy for everyone, not just experts.
How does ShroudAI keep my data private?
ShroudAI uses a mix of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, end-to-end encryption, and decentralized storage. This means:
No one (not even ShroudAI) can see your raw data
All actions (training, sharing, storing) are proven but not exposed
You always stay in control of what is shared, encrypted, or monetized
Is there a token? What is it used for?
Yes! The $SAI token powers the ecosystem. You can use it to:
Pay for AI privacy tools and zkVault storage
Stake and earn from privacy-preserving computation
Participate in governance via the ShroudDAO
Incentivize zkProof contributors and model trainers
Access exclusive AI datasets, zk model drops, or premium features
Can I train my own private AI model on ShroudAI?
Absolutely. Using Federated AI + zkML, you can:
Keep your data local (on-device, encrypted server, or zkVault)
Train models with others without sharing data
Prove your model’s performance or training integrity with ZK proofs Great for creators, medical researchers, institutions, and more!
Is ShroudAI decentralized?
Yes. ShroudAI is:
Built on Ethereum and zkRollups
Open-source and permissionless
Community governed via ShroudDAO
Uses decentralized storage & compute for every core function So, no single party controls your data or the network.
What’s the “viral potential” everyone talks about?
ShroudAI is building tools with viral appeal + deep privacy, like:
Face/voice anonymizers for content creators
Safe AI chat for journalists, activists, and youth
Encrypted social filters and story creators These tools can go viral while teaching people the value of privacy AI.
