ASI Alliance and Matterhorn have announced a strategic partnership to bring AI-powered, security-focused decentralized application (dApp) development to ASI:Chain, according to an announcement shared with Finbold on April 10.
Matterhorn, the developer of an AI-native “vibecoding” integrated development environment (IDE), is working with the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance (which includes SingularityNET, Fetch.ai and CUDOS) to address security challenges associated with AI-generated smart contract code.
Partnership to address security risks in AI-generated smart contracts
The collaboration comes as AI-assisted coding becomes more widely adopted, especially in blockchain development.
While many tools allow developers to generate smart contracts using natural language prompts, they often lack protection against vulnerabilities that could lead to financial losses, according to the release.
The partners said the initiative focuses on creating an infrastructure that allows developers to build, control and deploy production-ready dApps within a decentralized environment. As part of this effort, Matterhorn is introducing ‘Vibe-Audit’, a system that combines an AI security model with human assessment to help identify potential issues before implementation.
Additional protections include pre-vetted templates and real-time concurrency testing designed for MeTTa, ASI:Chain’s proprietary programming language, which provides a concurrent execution model.
The integration also includes ASI:Cloud for decentralized AI inference, replacing centralized infrastructure. Future phases will introduce Fetch.ai’s ASI:One and Z.AI models for blockchain-specific code generation, along with ASI Wallet integration and full support for MeTTa smart contracts.
“We are at the dawn of a world where dApps become “just apps”, just like the websites and apps we use today,” said Abhinav, Founder of Matterhorn. “Every other tool in this space is racing to ship code faster. We think this is the wrong race. The builders building dApps that handle real money and real users need a platform they can trust, and this partnership is how we’re building that.”
Khellar Crawford, Chief Innovation Officer of SingularityNET added:
“The power user of Web3 was always going to be AI. This is the beginning of the true AGI-era software stack: the security, ownership, and transparency of blockchain fused with the fluidity, ease, and consumer-level usability that defined Web2, brought to life by native AI and AGI inference. In this world, payment APIs like Stripe stand alongside smart contracts, explicit reasoning systems, decentralized computing power, and agentic workflows. On ASI:Chain via Matterhorn, with AGI As a first-class citizen, we open the floodgates to building applications that are fundamentally more intelligent, more composable and more sovereign.”
The companies say Matterhorn’s roadmap includes a refinement pipeline that feeds developer usage data back into ASI models to improve security and specialization over time. The long-term goal is to provide a single environment where developers can build, control, and deploy AI-powered dApps on a fully decentralized stack.
The integration is currently live on the ASI:Chain development network, with teams targeting 20,000 builders onboarded by 2026, in addition to 1 million model calls and 500 active compute instances in the first quarter after launch.
