Zero-knowledge identitySelective attestationsNo data lake

Compliance checks without the data lake.

Prove a user is eligible — KYC'd, not sanctioned, of age — without storing or exposing their personal data.

Identity · Privacy · Compliance · A regulated marketplace · under NDA
In plain terms

Verifying customers normally means collecting and storing passports and addresses — which turns you into a target every hacker and regulator watches. With zero-knowledge proofs, the user proves they are eligible (old enough, not sanctioned, in the right country) without you ever seeing or storing the underlying documents. There is no data lake to leak.

The challenge

They were obligated to verify users but didn't want to become a honeypot of personal data that every regulator and attacker would come for.

What we built
  • 01Zero-knowledge eligibility proofs — verify a claim without seeing the data behind it
  • 02Attestations issued once and reusable across the platform
  • 03Nothing personal stored on-chain or by us — the user keeps their data
Outcome

Eligibility is provable on every transaction; the personal data never leaves the user, so there is no lake to leak.

How it’s wired

The architecture, end to end.

Each box is a primitive we wrote and you own — legible all the way down, no black-box vendor in the path. Value flows left to right.

1Identity proof

The user proves a claim — age, jurisdiction, sanctions-clear — once.

2ZK eligibility check

Eligibility is verified without ever seeing the data behind it.

3Nothing stored

No personal data on-chain or with us — the user keeps it.

4Auditable attestation

A reusable attestation proves eligibility on every transaction.

How we build it
  • On-chain where enforcement matters; in your infrastructure where operation matters.
  • Non-custodial by default — keys and funds stay with their owner.
  • Audited line by line, then handed over: repository, runbook, and proofs.

The stack we built

Primitives, not black boxes.

Each layer is code you own and can read — written in-house, audited, and handed over. No rented dependency in the path of your money.

01

Zero-knowledge eligibility

Prove age, jurisdiction and sanctions-clear without seeing the documents.

02

Reusable attestations

Verify once, then reuse across every service on the platform.

03

No data store

Nothing personal is held on-chain or by you — there's no lake to leak.

What we hardened

Built as if it’ll be attacked.

In crypto, one mistake is terminal. We threat-model before we build — here’s what could go wrong, and what stops it.

The risk

A breach exposes a lake of personal data.

How we guard it

There is no lake — nothing personal is ever stored.

The risk

KYC is re-collected for every single service.

How we guard it

One reusable attestation covers them all.

The risk

You're trusting a checker's word.

How we guard it

Eligibility is provable with a zero-knowledge proof.

Handover

Yours at the end. All of it.

The engagement ends — that’s the point. What stays is everything you need to run and extend the system without us.

The repository

Every contract and service, commented and documented — nothing withheld, no black box.

Audit reports

Internal review plus an independent third-party audit, your engineers reading along.

The runbook

How to operate, monitor, upgrade and recover — written for your team, not ours.

Keys & training

Full control transferred, and your engineers walked through it until it's theirs.

We verify who's eligible without ever holding their data.
