ASI Alliance and Matterhorn partner to introduce AI-driven dApp development with built-in security

ASI Alliance and Matterhorn have announced a strategic partnership to bring AI-powered, safety-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 collaborating 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, particularly in blockchain development.

According to the release, while many tools enable developers to generate smart contracts using natural language prompts, they often lack safeguards against vulnerabilities that could lead to financial losses.

The partners said the initiative focuses on creating infrastructure that allows developers to build, audit, and deploy production-ready dApps within a decentralized environment. As part of this effort, Matterhorn is introducing “Vibe-Audit,” a system combining an AI security model with human review to help identify potential issues before deployment.

Additional safeguards include pre-vetted templates and real-time concurrency testing, designed for MeTTa, the native programming language of ASI:Chain, which features a concurrent execution model.

The integration also incorporates 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’re at the beginning of a world where dApps become “just Apps”, commonplace 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 that’s the wrong race. The builders who build dApps that handle real money and real users need a platform they can trust, and this partnership is how we build it.”

Khellar Crawford, Chief Innovation Officer of SingularityNET added:

“Web3’s power-user was always going to be AI. This is the beginning of the actual AGI-era software stack: the security, ownership, and transparency of blockchain fused with the fluency, convenience, and consumer-grade usability that defined Web2, brought to life by native AI and AGI inference. In this world, payment APIs like Stripe sit next to smart contracts, explicit reasoning systems, decentralized compute, and agentic workflows. On ASI:Chain via Matterhorn, with AGI inference as a first-class citizen, we’re opening the floodgates to building applications that are fundamentally more intelligent, more composable, and more sovereign.”

The companies said Matterhorn’s roadmap includes a fine-tuning 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, audit, and deploy AI-powered dApps on a fully decentralized stack.

The integration is currently live on the ASI:Chain devnet, with the teams targeting 20,000 builders onboarded in 2026, alongside 1 million model calls and 500 active compute instances within the first quarter following launch.
